Man, that news must make many a ballplayer shudder.

Good. Now Bud Selig can resign, baseball can hire a hardass, and we can finally move on from this era.

YES! You know I'm with you on this Therion.

I can think of some players I would love to see take a HGH test. I think there are still 1-3 BIG names who are using and under get a free pass. I could be wrong but I really do not think I am.

I think you're lowballing your estimate.

Oddly enough, there was a huge spike in underwear sales amongst athletes across the nation about 10 minutes after this news was released.

I hope you don't mean the guy that was on the cover of SI saying, "You can trust in me!" Sure we can! You are the only 260 pound Dominican on earth, but I trust you. ;)

In related news, from three years ago, HGH has not been shown to improve athletic performance. http://tinyurl.com/yg9x48f

It's funny to me that players would risk their careers by taking something that doesn't do anything for them. Can you or anyone else who feels that HGH doesn't do anything for you answer me that? Simple question, why do they risk taking it if it doesn't do anything for them?

For the same reason players take substances that are both banned and tested for - they're not that smart.

Who do you think knows more about the effects of HGH, a 23 year old high school graduate who plays baseball for a living a living or a room full of chemists with decades of experience?

Honestly, I'd say the players who are actually TAKING the stuff and having it actually affect their boy know more about what it actually does for their performance than a bunch of white coats in a lab just studying chemicals.

If it didn't do SOMETHING, people wouldn't be risking what they do taking it.
