Answer by Toad
‘Credible’ made me rethink many suggestions. Many wonderful organizations out there though, for the type of statistical credibility I believe you are looking for, I am leaning toward these:

Question About Halfway Houses and Landlord / Tenant Laws?

Question by Richard RIGHT: Question about halfway houses and landlord / tenant laws?
I’m the director for a halfway house / recovery house in Indianapolis, Indiana. I know there’s an Indiana statute that says the landlord laws don’t apply to properties operated by institutions for educational, religious or counseling purposes. But how can I write the contract so that we have the right to immediately evict someone for drinking or using drugs while a part of the program?
Thanks guys, you helped me a lot. Particularly helpful is the fact that you’re pretty much in agreement with each other on what you’re saying. But yes, I’ll speak with an attorney friend of mine, as well.

Does MLB Have a Comprehensive Set of Rules (Laws) That Includes Banned Steroids?

Question by Georgie: Does MLB have a comprehensive set of rules (laws) that includes banned steroids?
and other banned offenses?

Steroids, and other performance enhancing drugs have been around for a long time.
No one can say for sure even if great players in the 60’s and 70’s used steroids.
Amphetamines were popular in the 60’s, and of course alcohol is still used.
Alcohol being a stimulant in the early stages also relieves tensions and some pain.
