Re: J.C. Romero Suspened 50 Games..
What the hell?
I'll tell you this 50 game suspension rule is full of shat. Guys are getting suspended for supplements that were said to be ok. I don't know if he really did or did not do steroids but why does it come out now?

Re: J.C. Romero Suspened 50 Games..
So you don't know the details but are calling it BS. Makes sense.
And the reason it's coming out now:
Romero said on Monday that he bought a supplement from a GNC store and that he was cleared to take it by the Phillies' training staff. He actually tested positive in late September, but he took the case to arbitration, allowing him to pitch in the postseason and World Series.
So if you want to lay blame, put it on the apparent incompetence of the Phillies' training staff.

Still pissy about the Hewitt thing huh?
I just read the full article by Peter Gammons after posting(I didn't see it because I was so mad)and it confirms that it's BS.
What I said was "guys". I am referring to the many cases that are BS.

...and two nutritionists... and the MLBPA that said you can buy ANYTHING from a GNC and it's okay, then in November after the testing, said, "oops! we ****** up!"?

Re: J.C. Romero Suspened 50 Games..
Hewitt? I can honestly say I don't know what you're talking about. Pretty sure you're mistaking me for someone else.
Romero may have a case with the MLBPA. Perhaps they should dip into their 'emergency fund' and pay him what he'll lose since they obviously can't keep up to date on their own drug policy.

Re: J.C. Romero Suspened 50 Games..
Maybe. I forget.
I doubt MLBPA will do that, but I do wonder if Romero has a case against them?

"Tainted" supplements are as old as GNC...and therefore should not be that much of a shock.
As to the suspension, the MLBPA agreed to these terms...I certainly expect their players to hold to them. MLB and the MLBPA were well aware of "tainted" positives before this agreement was signed, so until the policy changes, players need to be overly cautious and suspecting of everything.

Whatever....I'm just glad it wasn't Jeremy Jeffress again...
