Mike Cameron , a free agent baseballer,has agreed to sign a two-year deal with Boston recently.
On January 14, 2008 he signed a 1-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers. On March 13, 2008, Cameron applied for a therapeutic exemption to use stimulants during the 2008 season because of his outfield collision with former teammate Carlos Beltran. He claimed to be struggling with after-effects of the collision that ended his 2005 season. If he had applied for the exemption in 2007, he could have avoided the 25-game suspension he had to serve to begin this season for testing positive for a banned stimulant for the second time. He also told USA Today that he will see a neurologist to determine if he is suffering from post-concussion syndrome. If the exemption is granted, Cameron would be permitted to use some amphetamines that are currently banned by the Major League Baseball drug policy.(amphetamines are supposed to be kill sleep)
Together with Greg Brown and Robin Roberts he has written a book (aimed primarily at children) titled “It Takes a Team: Mike Cameron”, ISBN 1-57243-502-X, where he presents his views on the importance of teamwork and describes his life. Published in 2002 by Triumph Books.
