George Clooney must be a Major League Baseball fan. He reccomends, I presume tounge planted firmly in cheek, that all kids should cheat and take drugs to excel in sports.

Here is exactly what he told the New York Times Style Magazine for an upcoming edition:

“What I learned most about playing sports is to cheat. I want all the kids who see this. Cheat. If you can’t beat them, cheat. And do drugs, kids. You learn that confidence is 99% of what it is you do. Literally. I went from one season to another, where I didn’t become really become much of a hitter. I just realized that I could hit the ball. And instead of getting up to the plate and wondering if I’m going to hit the ball, I wonder where I want to hit the ball. Suddenly, I was a hitter.”
