Reason Writers in the Cosmopolitan City

Radley Balko | January 14, 2008

I'll be hopping a train tomorrow to New York City, where I'll be debating George "Sports Machine" Michael, ex-Braves slugger Dale Murphy, and testing guru Dick Pound on the issue of sports and performance-enhancing drugs. I'll be defending what you might call the "Steve Howe position."

I'm a last-minute replacement for ex-Olympic gold medalist Ben Johnson (no joke). I had to run a sub-10 100 to earn my train ticket (that's a joke).

An abridged version of the event will be broadcast on your local NPR affiliate later this week. We'll post audio and video here once it's available.
