Its also dangerous, especially in the levels used. So you're essentially telling players they have to put their lives on the line to keep up. Baseball is a sport that deals heavily in records. PEDs make the record books meaningless, in essense making baseball meaningless. To me pitching duels can be exciting. I don't like too much offense. The new rules in football make me remember a time when defense was exciting.

Steroids are no more dangerous for you than any number of legal drugs in this country that are currently available for anybody to use.

I've personally been waiting for Albert Pujols to slip up forever.

Do they let players use them when they rehab a major injury?

From OTL: Source says Braun requested 2nd test. 2nd test not positive. Those close to RB believe difference will show 1st test was invalid.

The first test was mistakenly swapped with Pujols' vile.

Just like JA. Good players who leave KC teams (and I don't care why or how justified it appears to be) can die in a fire as far as I'm concerned. They're all a bunch of quitting bassterdz!!! So yeah, Zach "the ball sack" can KMA and die in a fire for all I care!

Ahh, fair enough, I was only thinking about baseball. I wonder how often athletes around the world beat back a positive test. I think I read about some soccer player or maybe its some other sport beating a test by showing that he ate tainted meat and they decided it would be unfair to punish him for that. Other than that? probably never.

Yeah. And occasionally there's a mistake made by the testers (which almost everybody tries to argue), but it's rare.

If I read the article correctly, his urine was tested twice. It's highly unlikely 2 different labs made the same mistake.

a shame really.
