No, Manny appealed the first time. Retired immediately after the 2nd time and didn't bother appealing.

Bonds pretty much admitted to it saying they used to rub that shit on him but he "thought" it was some kind of bengay type shit.

Oh, Bonds used a whole lot more than that.

True, but they didn't catch him with their tests, though.

Yeah, at the time that clear shit was undetectable by the tests they were doing. Now they have tests to see that.

If i remember right that was that new shit that Balco got involved in. Its been a few years, so my memory may be a bit spotty on that.

They also didn't actually have drug tests in the early 2000s. In the later 2000s, they didn't catch him as he might have been taking something else undetectable (or maybe he wasn't taking anything at all by that point, but I kind of doubt it).

lol, He didnt say he didnt take anything though. He just said its for my personal life and i leave that out of the media. He never came out n said, i didnt take anything. Im a Dodger fan believe me, i watched everything about it.

I'm a Manny fan...I remember it well. He did appeal following the news.

What are you saying, though? That every athlete who has ever denied taking PEDs following a positive test was telling the truth?

Of course not, but in these 2 cases Bonds and Manny, they basically admitted it. I aint stupid, i can read between them big ass lines.

Athletes will continue tot ake steroids and i cant blame them, especially players from piss poor countries. Its like say, i can live like crap in the dominican (aka Manny) or i can take steeroids and earn about 300 million in the USA retire and live the rest of my life as a king in the DR. Hell, i'd do the same. Its a no brainer really.

Well...guys like Manny would be playing in the MLB regardless of whether they take PEDs due to sheer talent, but I see your point. And I certainly don't blame anybody for doing it either in that situation.
