Mike Cameron seeks MLB's permission to cheat

Mike Cameron may have finally found a loophole in the rules against performance enhancing drug use, albeit a little late.

A note from the doctor.

Cameron, who failed a test for banned stimulants in the offseason, will be serving a 25-game suspension to start the season because it was his second failed test. But when he returns, Cameron may have a leg up on the rest of the league.

That's because Cameron has an appointment with a neurologist to see if he will recommend -- prescribe, if you will -- amphetamines as a treatment for the supposed cobwebs in his head. Cameron is hoping the doctor and the league will remember with sympathy his nasty collision with Carlos Beltran in 2005 (see below for a link to the video clip).

If Major League Baseball OK'd stimulant use by Cameron for medical purposes, they'd be starting down a slippery slope. Remember all those guys who had so-called prescriptions for HGH? I think the league knows better than to give Cameron the green light, but you can't fault the man for trying.
