I'm thinking if that were the case, that the test should have picked up the potential other steroid.

I'm tired of this steroid fiasco. What are they going to do, cancel baseball and bring up minor league players?
They need to check Vince McMahon, he has taken steroids and is still taking them.
Really he has learn something new every day.This sucks I'm a Dodgers fan this really sucks
i bet a roid is gald they found someone eles to focuse on
It's also possible he thought he could use that as an convenient excuse to take a substance that boost his testosterone levels and they wouldn't punish him because of it. Considering the things Manny does it wouldn't surprise me.
People say this all the time, but they predicted the same kind of doom and gloom during the baseball strikes of '72, '80, '81, and '85....and it didn't come to pass.
Isn't that approximately the time that the NFL started passing MLB as the nations biggest sport, which baseball held for close to a century?
when i saw the headline that said "manny test positive for using a women's fertility drug" i almost died laughing
I don't know, MLB was on the verge of falling behind the NBA and NHL or at least had fallen to their level when the steroid ere came about. I would say right now it's solidly in the second position ahead of them a lot because of that. Of course the post-Jordan basketball era and the people that run hockey being stupid also had a role.

Well. All I can say is I thought Manny was "crazy like a fox" in terms of maybe thinking he wasn't a dumbshit like most people thought he was. I've seen him make AMAZINGLY difficult catches in left field only to turn around and do that stupid "dive for the cutoff throw" or the catch where he drops the ball, trips and rolls all over the field like a mutt rollin' around in poop.
For him to get pinched like this--in the middle of the Steroid Cloud--is beyond moronic.
Or....what he did was what any American would do....cheat to get ahead in life. At the Macro Level--what Manny did, cheat to get that $20Mil--seems small potatoes to the Real Estate Sham Bubble of inflated home prices, corrupt bankers and brokers authorizing unprepared homeowners and walking away with commissions before the market crashed, and Bernie Madoff...
Basically...Steroids in Baseball seems to me nothing more than a "micro" version of the American Scam....all of these baseball and NFL stars that get pinched for Roids are doing it purely for greed.
Albert Pujols, Zach Grienke, Big Papi Ortiz, all of these players have done or are doing Roids right now. Big Papi was Hall of Fame-esque during the 2004-2007 seasons and now he can't hit? He's just 2 years into his down juice cycle because he wants to "protect his Hall of Fame Credentials" and if Papi starts juicing again, the Boston Media will eat him alive. Hell, the Boston Media might start snooping around Papi's Dominican offseason training regime...
The NFL has a similar banned substance problem with roids and HGH (Shawn Merrimen anyone?) it's just the players doing Roids are normally noname OLine or Dline players trying to earn that contract.
Maybe there needs to be a country somewhere that starts a Pro League in some sport and allows for ALL DRUG USE by players so we can see Roided Out Circus Freaks hit baseballs a mile, and LSD dropping hopheads pass out midgame....let's create an actual "playground" for these circus freaks to amuse us in...:thumbsup:

Pujols and Grienke?
Do you have any evidence to support that thought, or is it just conspiracy on your part?

i agree they need to test albert puljos this dude is definitely on FN Roids! it's like everytime he hits a pop up it leaves the yard he reminds me of mark mcguire. also didn't jose canseco said in his book that Manny & puljos are taking Roids i remember hearing that on ESPN.
Is evidence needed anymore? Grienke was practically an MLB washout and now, all of a sudden, he's the greatest pitcher in the league:1orglaugh
C'mon. He's just the next Roidger Clemens fishing for a big contract.....
Albert Pujols looks like a Mark McGuire Clone. Why should I NOT assume that he's on Roids? :dunno:
Greinke was seen as a can't miss prospect from day one. He showed great promise in his first year, and then fell off somewhat, and the reason for that was later revealed to be social anxiety disorder, which led to depression. It's not like he was terrible for ten years, the guy had two bad seasons, (one of which wasn't really all that bad, he just had a TERRIBLE team). Dontrelle Willis is dealing with the same thing right now. If you want to credit steroids for his dominance, go right ahead, but he's shown he can pitch this way before.
As for Pujols, I'm not sure how looking like McGwire correlates to anything at all. I can't speak for you, but for I don't assume he's on steroids because he simply hasn't failed a test. You can question the legitimacy of the tests all you want, but he's yet to fail a test, and considering so many other big names have been caught, that seems to mean something. If he fails a test tomorrow, then we've got something, but this "everybody is on steroids" attitude just seems like conspiracy to me.
I would rather that ballplayers would not use these substances, steroids do not really bother me except that they are probably no good for one's health over the long term. It was pretty obvious during the post Bash Brothers era that at least 25-30% of MLB players were abusing some sort of performance enhancing drug to maximize power and keep the body moving after workouts. Most fans seemed to love the increased amount of HR's and K's which only seemed to increase the problem in the sport. Now fans complain about it-stupid.
The real sad part is that the people think Pujols is the same as McGwire which is ridiculous. Pujols can actually play defense, and hit situationally which McGwire seemed incapable of both.
