Baseball: PEDS in Miami
So, you didn't really think PEDS were dead and gone as a subject in baseball, did you?
Pretty scary and damning stuff for several players (including the Melk-man) in this article published by the Miami New Times this morning. The writer was in my class at Mizzou. VERY bad news for Alex Rodriguez, Gio Gonzalez, Yasmani Grandal, others. It's my understanding MLB can suspend players without a positive test as long as sufficient evidence is available. Should be interesting... |

MLB To Suspend Braun, Rodriguez, Others
By Zach Links [July 9, 2013 at 5:01pm CST] Major League Baseball is expected to suspend Ryan Braun, Alex Rodriguez, and as many as 20 players connected to the Biogenesis clinic sometime after next week's All-Star break, several sources told T.J. Quinn and Mike Fish of ESPN.com. |

Ryan Braun didn't answer questions
Updated: July 9, 2013, 6:03 PM ET By T.J. Quinn and Mike Fish | ESPN.com Ryan Braun, who has repeatedly denied using performance-enhancing drugs, refused to answer questions during a recent meeting with Major League Baseball about his connection to Tony Bosch and the Biogenesis clinic in Miami, sources told "Outside the Lines." The meeting took place June 29, a source said, and is one of several that MLB has conducted with players connected to the clinic. A source said Alex Rodriguez has not been interviewed, but a meeting is expected to take place within the week. Commissioner Bud Selig's office is expected to suspend Braun and Rodriguez, along with as many as 20 players sometime after next week's All-Star break, several sources told "Outside the Lines." As OTL reported, MLB started building cases against the players last month after Bosch agreed to cooperate with investigators. The question is the length of the suspensions. Sources said the commissioner's office was considering 100-game bans for Braun and Rodriguez, the punishment for a second offense, even though neither player was previously suspended for violating MLB's drug policy. The argument, one source said, would be that they -- and possibly other players -- committed multiple offenses by receiving performance-enhancing drugs from Bosch and by lying about it. Bosch's attorneys have met repeatedly with MLB officials over the past month, turning over numerous documents to substantiate his connection to the players named in company documents, sources have said. While sources would not detail what Bosch has turned over, he was expected to provide phone, text, email and other records. Representatives of Braun could not be reached Tuesday by ESPN. |

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...aled/13624217/ The federal investigation that brought about those arrests have “revealed previously unnamed MLB players,” ESPN.com’s T.J. Quinn reports on Twitter, which could well lead to another round of suspensions. (Quinn, whose Twitter timeline has quite a bit of additional coverage, says to “expect more suspensions.”) It can only be hoped that we will not see a repeat of last year’s seemingly endless saga. Nevertheless, the potential impact on baseball’s transactional side remains a realistic consideration. |

On the other hand, I think it's just a matter of time before Papi's name comes out on a report. |

Pujols has never been even accused of steroid use other than by opposing team fans. He passes the eye test. His body type never changed in his 11 years with the Cardinals. As he got older his production slowly declined as it should when you get older. There were no "bounceback" years. I'd be totally surprised if he took steriods.
Now, him being two years older than the official record, I might see that as more of a possibility. He is a USA citzen now. You can't forge those citizenship documents. So maybe thats just another BS accusation.

Why does everyone say "This is very bad for so and so."
Do you honestly think Alex Rodriguez cares what joe blow says? The guy already is worth over a 100 million dollars. **** me with a rusty fish knife for millions and expose me for the fraud I am. I couldn't care less. As Derrick Thomas once said, "All I care about is being healthy and getting paid." |
