I don't see what the big deal is about PEDs. How do you think I'm able to post such frickin' brilliant stuff day after day?

he is a bum. throw him out.

Three strikes and he will outta there!

My bet is that over half the league was on the stuff until very recently.

Also goes to show that the lack of players who every played for the Red Sox on the Mitchell report was probably influenced by the investigator's relationship with that team.

I think that steroids should be mandatory in sports.

should have separate league for steroid users (kinda like unlimited dragsters). we can just watch them murder the ball just for fun.

#5 & #6 - OK, now this thread's getting interesting.

They should be shooting up so often that syringes explode out of their arms when they hit the ball.

Beauty contestants are performance enhanced, why not everybody?

Ever since 4/15/1947 MLB has gone downhill.

There's one PED on this site I'd like to see suspended.

Be Well.

Didn't that "Skool fer Gud Lawyerin'" that you attended have a class on libel?

Did you manage to skip class that day or did you just take Intelligent Design instead?

Was Monica Goodling really yer Dom the whole time you were there or did she pass you around to all her strapped on pals just fer kicks?

If that's all you got, Snowflake, it aint enuff.

Learn that.

Be Well.

My bet is that over half the league was on the stuff until very recently.

SULLY

Only half? Rethink that one. How about adding half of the remaining balance and maybe then some. It seems like everybody has started out with total denial just before a tearful confession and apology. Bwaaaaa!!!

Actually, for those that care, he tested positive for a substance that increases testosterone in order to get his levels back where they should be. Canseco was on the local radio explaining it. So, theoretically, Manny got off steroids years ago, but his system was so f'ed up he needed help to get his levels back to where they should be. Not condoning it, but this is to be expected for those players that abused steroids in the past. I doubt he'll test positive again. Of course, I doubt he'll have a 50 home run season again to, but at least the Dodgers are on the hook for only one more year.

P.S., Padres suck.

bring back the ped dispencer

There is no clear cut distinction between what type of performance enhancing "thing" is good or bad. It all depends on what the majority feel is right. The extremes are obvious but what about some of the smaller more common things that not everybody has access to:

Could Phelps have won those Swimming Medals without that neat full body suit? Maybe. Maybe not.

Would Tiger Woods be as good as he is wihtout the laser eye surgery? Who knows...

Could Jordan have flows as far without those shoes?

In a certain sense I think the Olympics should go back to the basics where everybody competed naked with nothing to enhance personal performance.

strike 3-yer OUT!!!

umm, I do care but - - your spin stops here -
HCG is used to get testosterone levels back to where they were WEEKS AGO . . not . . YEARS AGO

nice try tho

Thanks I was wondering what the brouhaha was all about.

Markh, whatever. You obviously know more about it than I do, since I've never needed to take steroids.

And I did say "theoretically" - Too many syllables, I suppose. Mea culpa.

"should have separate league for steroid users (kinda like unlimited dragsters). we can just watch them murder the ball just for fun."

I've said that for a long time...make 2 leagues and watch as the clean league promptly folds because no one cares enough to watch them when they could be watching "murder ball". The real issue is supply and demand.

Markh, whatever. You obviously know more about it than I do, since I've never needed to take steroids.

I have been considering using steroids for a while now due to one of the side affects. This being the shrinking noticeably of the genitals as I have had a lot of trouble packing things away for mere decency. One can only hope they will do enough.
