Bryce Miller: Fernando Tatis Jr. shows generational immaturity, selfishness with drug suspension
WASHINGTON — Turns out labeling Fernando Tatis Jr. of the Padres a generational player was far more accurate than anyone knew. Generationally foolish. Generationally immature. Generationally reckless. Generationally selfish. It’s one thing for a 23-year-old to make the irresponsible decision to climb on a motorcycle in the offseason and fracture a wrist when money, commercial close-ups and video-game covers are raining down with the ferocity of a spring thunderstorm. It’s a completely and maddeningly other thing to deliver gut punches in rapid succession like a flyweight boxer — to the owner w...

Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. suspended 80 games for drug violation; A.J. Preller cites ‘trust’ issue
WASHINGTON — Fernando Tatis Jr. will not play for the Padres this season. The 23-year-old shortstop was suspended Friday for 80 games by Major League Baseball for violation of the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy. That means he will miss the rest of 2022, be ineligible for the postseason and miss the first 32 games of 2023. Tatis said in a statement the positive result for the banned substance Clostebol stemmed from a medication he took to treat ringworm. In the lengthy statement, he apologized to Padres Chairman Peter Seidler, President of Baseball Operations A.J. Preller, his teamm...

Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. suspended 80 games for PED violation
WASHINGTON — Fernando Tatis Jr. will not play for the Padres this season. The 23-year-old shortstop was suspended Friday for 80 games by Major League Baseball for violation of the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy. “I have been informed by Major League Baseball that a test sample I submitted returned a positive result for Clostebol, a banned substance,” Tatis said in a statement issued by the MLB Players Association. “It turns out that I inadvertently took a medication to treat ringworm that contained Clostebol. I should have used the resources available to me in order to ensure that ...

Once Indiana’s abortion ban goes into effect, most patients seeking abortions will have to travel beyond its borders
When Indiana’s near-total abortion ban goes into effect on Sept. 15, the Planned Parenthood clinic in Merrillville — and its 10 other facilities in Indiana — will remain open to provide “critical health care services outside of abortion,” but patients seeking abortion care will likely have to go out of state. “We provide a whole range of critical health care services outside of abortion, including birth control, emergency contraception, gender affirming hormone care, wellness visits, and more. Our 11 health centers in Indiana will continue to provide those services, in addition to providing an...

Kansas plans to recount abortion amendment vote, despite proposal’s landslide defeat
Kansas election officials plan to conduct a statewide recount of the vote rejecting an amendment to remove abortion rights from the state constitution after a citizen posted a $200,000 bond for the recount, the state Secretary of State’s Office said. Separately, Kansas state Sen. Caryn Tyson asked for a recount in 55 counties in the Republican race for Kansas treasurer. Tyson, of Parker, currently trails state Rep. Steven Johnson, of Assaria, by 375 votes. Melissa Leavitt, who has been fundraising for a recount based on vague suspicions of fraud, asked for the abortion amendment recount ahead ...

Mayor Adams signs off on 6 laws to bolster abortion rights in NYC
NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Eric Adams signed off on six new laws Friday aimed at bolstering women’s access to abortions — a response to the Supreme Court’s decision in June to overturn Roe v. Wade. The laws — now collectively known as the NYC Abortion Rights Act — will require the city Health Department to provide abortion pills for free to patients seeking to terminate pregnancies, place restrictions on city cash going to the enforcement of abortion restrictions and allow for civil lawsuits against entities interfering with reproductive health care. “We’re not leaving our sisters behind,”...

Marijuana will be on the ballot in Missouri in November. Will it affect the US Senate race?
WASHINGTON — Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Trudy Busch Valentine came out in support of a ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana in Missouri, as her Republican counterpart declined to take a stand on the issue. The ballot initiative, which comes four years after the state legalized medicinal use of the drug, injects a new policy issue into the campaign for U.S. Senate as Busch Valentine faces Missouri Republican Attorney General Eric Schmitt in the race to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Roy Blunt. “This November, I will be voting yes to legalize the adult use of recreational m...

Editorial: Abortion rights are still in danger from radical politicians, Kansas voters be damned
Last week, Kansas state Sen. Mike Thompson sent an email to supporters and constituents, bemoaning the landslide victory for abortion rights on Aug. 2. “No” voters were misled, Thompson claimed, by “millions of dollars on a relentless ad campaign” against the amendment. Oh, and by the media, of course. “If there was one honest media report anywhere about what this amendment was really about … I did not see it,” the Republican said. For pro-life Kansans, this kind of excuse-making was pretty standard stuff. What set Thompson’s email (and Facebook post) apart, though, was his prediction of a par...
