Yeah that's what I read. Hard to pick up on sarcasm, especially when athletes that have tested postitive for PED's say weird stuff like that made them test positive haha.

I just want to know WHEN the test was. Pre-All Star? Recently? Before the season started?

Yeah he's a guy that has to be on roids. No way you make that significant of a jump in HR's from one year to the next especially when your playing time was not boosted siginicantly. 13 HR to 54 HR hmmmmm....

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.

this isnt surprising

but they should cut his suspension for the fact he admitted it, how many else have done that?

why wouldn't they be more likely to use it if the tests aren't as tough and often?

Sounds like he knew the substance was banned by MLB but took it anyway.

Idiotic move that could cost the Giants a playoff spot.

SF is lucky that melky took steroids and produced the way that he did.

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.

right?? he went from being an average MLB player to putting up MVP type numbers. makes you wonder what type of player bonds, sosa, etc were actually.

This is the dumbest post I've seen in a long time.

And 1. Bonds was a MVP with the Pirates and the Giants before the steroid era.

This is the most shocking development since the sun rising this morning. The funniest part is you need 502 PA to qualify for a batting title and he's at 501.

Eh, I don't see how everyone saw it coming. He had a good season last year, and it wasn't like he was hitting them out of the park all the time. In fact, I doubt he would have hit more than 20 for the entire season.

There are quite a few dumb posts in this thread.
