PVBL: Duluth Bjork
Hartford Under Investigation

July 11, 1998

Duluth News - Recent accusations have been brought up against the Whaler GM's "juicing" of his team. Reports have so far verified that the club's Gatorade has been spiked with a "Muscle endusing formula" for the entirity of this season and much of last year's championship run. "..I knew something was up when that has been Phillips started tearing things up. I mean, use some discretion huh?? It doesn't take a brain to see the light of that one, and of course, given Tony's love of substances, it's no wonder he's remaining with the team this long with few to no problems.", sportscaster Dan Patrick had to comment. The Whaler's waterboy refused to comment on the juice. Ex-Whaler Ken Griffey Jr. has suffered an incredible "slump" with ex-teammate Sheffield as of late, but could their be more to this? ".. and when Sheff and I had some questions as to what exactly was in the drink, we were told to leave well enough alone. That was fine until Gary started showing side effects. So me and Sheff one night stayed at the park until everyone else left and checked things out for ourselves, and let me tell you this ain't no protein drink, Creatin? Not even close. After realizing this, Sheff and I started bringing our own liquid refreshments to the party, you know water and stuff, personally, I like All-Sport, the Fruit Punch is exquisite, especially the way it" Griffey commented before being interupted by Sheffield, " anyways, we basically stopped drink the stuff in fear for our health, and in return, our bodies went to crap, I couldn't hit water out of a boat. Needless to say, being Jeremy's guinea pigs wasn't written anywhere in our contract. I think he might try to market this new "sports drink" to compensate the losses he's endured from his Sportscenter purchase. In light of all this, Ken and I requested the trade." Whaler GM Jeremy was unable to be reached for comment, but showed public concern while driving an unmarked truck into the stadium's concession area. When told he might lose his PVBL championship trophy plus franchise ownership he replied with team spirit, showing all in a furious wave of the hand, that his Whalers, at least in his mind, is "#1". Leud conduct charges are being followed up on for that one. At press release time, Jeremy had yet to be attained by the local authorities, and is still believed to be "at large" driving an unmarked truck supposedly containing his secret sauce. More news to follow.
