...fret about many problems which, in cold, statistical terms, are quite unlikely ever to occur. The actual likelihood of dying from smoking, not wearing seatbelts or sunscreen, eating preservatives or biking without a helmet is relatively low. Our parents' generation, after all, (mostly) survived the clutches of these and many other perils. But while we generally heed the warnings about cigarettes, seatbelts and sunscreen, we go on having CT scans without putting up the slightest fuss. CT is a controllable risk.

As such, not only would the player have to prove that he didn't use steroids, but that Mitchell published his name with "actual malice," with "a reckless disregard for the truth." Of course, a bespectacled former Senator who is the chairman of the largest law firm on earth, and who helped broker the Northern Ireland peace deal of 1998, might be tough to paint as the reckless type.
