Melky Cabrera tests positive for testosterone

lol this is why baseball is a distance 3rd in my favorite sports behind basketball and football.

Because they actually test for and punish cheaters? And 50 games is pretty significant for a first offense. I couldn't possibly delude myself into thinking that the NFL doesn't have a similar rate of use, if not higher.

Does anyone know what he was taking, and what the effects are on your performance? Or is everyone talking out of their ass when they say things like "Oh, that explains it". I'd actually like to know.

MLB has some of the most stringent testing. I'm willing to bet that half the NBA and NFL are juicing.

So, Melky Cabrera tried to use a fake website to get out of the suspension according to the NY Daily News

Link to the full article.

In a bizarre attempt to avoid a 50-game drug suspension, San Francisco Giants star Melky Cabrera created a fictitious website and a nonexistent product designed to prove he inadvertently took the banned substance that caused a positive test under Major League Baseball’s drug program.

But instead of exonerating Cabrera of steroid use, the Internet stunt trapped him in a web of lies. Amid the information-gathering phase of his doping case last month, his cover story unraveled quickly, and what might have been a simple suspension has attracted further attention from federal investigators and MLB, the Daily News has learned.

This pretty much squashes any chances that he'll get a contract from the Giants, atleast I think. I wouldn't say it's a lost season just yet, the way Posey, Crawford, and Pence have been hitting we are still very much in the mix of things.

You don't think those guys are using too? Especially football?

Of coarse they are but it is in no way close to the usage of baseball players.

How would you know?
