baseball - steriods- giambi-bonds

[skahound]

My guess is that Bonds would retire if and when the shit hits the fan.

[Garrick]

i guess he won't be playing next year then...

what pisses me off even more is he is discracing willie mays and his father... he's a shithead

All of these 'professionals' should be banned just like Pete Rose. It is absurd that the players union could and would go to the mat for these drug enhanced players. They ruined the sport and are taking away from the likes of DiMaggio, Aaron, Ruth and Gerhig. Shame on them and shame on Bud Selig for not taking a more frim stance against this issue.

BTW, you here what the consequences are for testing positive?

Re: baseball - steriods- giambi-bonds

I was listening to ESPN radio today. They said, can you imagine if they find out Bonds took roids and breaks Aarons HR record. It would be absolutely horrendous.

nah it would serve as a great steriod marketing campaign...

I think the union needs to change its ways... which will probably take extreme pressure from the public or the goverment... don't think much of the baseball loving population cares much for the steriod conteversy... they want to see homeruns and don't care about the lengths players will go to for them... that leaves the goverment... the repulicans aren't too keen on unions... but i imagine they will use strong words and little action..

Look at this pic, one of the most obvious side effects of testosterone use is acne. Pretty clear case here.

I've seen guys in my gyn taking it, and they turned from easy going fellas to pumped up twitching giants. I'd be like "Hey [x], how's it going?", and he'd be like "NOT NOW MAN LEAVE ME ALONE I'M WORKIN'OUT MAN.". Spitting all over my face. It's dirty shit, I tell ya.
