Bagwell was caught stealing 78 times. No Hall of Fame plaque for him.

He plays PG for Syracuse?

Steroids don’t help you in baseball b/c it’s mostly hand-eye coordination – that is beyond retarded.
Agree

If sctrojans is one your side of the argument, rest assured you’re probably incorrect.

Yankees wiping there hands of this and no support for Afraud in their statement and Afraud stating he has never went to any of these places and never taken anything.

Here is the thing that is going to cause the most uproar. If Afraud never plays again or is proven to haven taken PEDs with the Spanks then can they nullify the contract and try to recoup some of the money already given to Afraud. If not and he doesn’t play then will insurance cover the cost of the contract or will they tell the Spanks no because the clause for the insurance to cover is nullified do to PED use. The next step would be to ask if teams will be allowed to have contracts with specific clauses that state the contract is nullified if a player is suspended for PED use. I could see every major sporting league starting to try to get this language in because so much money is involved in each of these decisions.

Taking IGF1 is basically just injecting yourself with cancer. I’m not going to feel bad when these guys die young. I’m just not.

Verducci's take on what the new in season testing will do is pretty eye opening. The part on the new testing I liked was that the new testing is what got Lance Armstrong finally caught and as Lance said, it is a test in his sport that became much tougher to beat.

but because of the increased adherence to a workout regimen

Allows more vigorous training. The strength/muscle gains are indisputable too

does baseball have a worse drunk driving problem than other employers?

Not to be contravsial, but drug operations are smarter than the govt

Not sure that’s even controversial. Govt can throw money at the problem, only real advantage

I am pretty sure you can’t put that on the placebo effect.

No, but there is some evidence that supplements (just like diet) work best not because of their function, but because of the increased adherence to a workout regimen. Though I’m sure steroids helped pitchers gain a few MPH for the couple years until their loss of ROM blew out some joint or another.

That drug is serious shit. It’s believed that it can slow the aging process and degeneration of the body.

IGF1 is a gene that can cause gigantism when mutated. It would be a very dangerous thing for (especially) adolescents to get their hands on.

Also, I believe the information is incorrect, as it doesn’t produce insulin, but rather acts directly as a growth factor to stimulate muscle growth. Mrs. Mizerle06 is Sarah Phillips would be the one to ask.

Surely there are players using these sort of substances…

The closest evidence I think we can get to whether steriods are helpful come from pitchers more than hitters. We can measure pitch speed and more than a few pitchers who have taken steriods have come out and stated they gained more than a few mph on their fastballs. I am pretty sure you can’t put that on the placebo effect.

So steroids are still a greater issue than baseball’s drunk driving problem? Got it.
