Rafael Palmerio suspended for ROIDS

[ass_face]

Who cares? Taking a chemical supplement is no more cheating than eating extra food. Somehow people have equated steroids with cheating. If there was a food that guaranteed that you would gain 20 pounds of muscle and be a better athlete would you eat it? My guess is that if this food existed, our government would ban it. I see steroids as being no different.

Palmeiro is a great player, nothing would tarnish him in my eyes.

Also, I though the whole idea of this "Steroid Witch Hunt" was to save the children? Well, why not enact strict testing for High School and College athletes... which is not nearly as stringent as that for adult males who are in no danger from using steroids and should be able to make informed decisions about what they want in their bodies.

I would love to see some Billionaire come along and start a whole new athletic league for football, baseball track etc.. where drugs were safely administered and condoned. This antiquated dinosaur concept of cheating needs to go away. Those that do not use steroids are only cheating themselves.

I really frickin hate this! Why does that put an astrik by his name? Or Barry Bonds or others? Because they "cheated"? Or because they evolved? Look at this:
http://www.golfeurope.com/almanac/history/golf_club1.htm

The clubs Tiger is using now are superior in every way to the clubs Jack Nicklaus used. Even the ball has changed and yet no one cries foul. Payton Manning breaks Dan Marino's TD record. Ever notice how the league rules have changed on hitting the QB? Payton didn't get that record under the same circumstances as Dan and nobody said a word. Diet and nutrition for athletes isn't the same as it used to be. T.O. sleeps in a pressureized room for GODs sake! Nobody says shit when he breaks a record. Look folks, the game evolves as do the people playing it. They use technology to make themselves and the game better. Compairing records from one era to the next is like compairing apples to oranges. Don't think I'm right? Look at hockey; they are taking away the red line for hevens sake! How can you compare next seasons games and records to that of the past?

Very good. Could not have said it better. You need to go on dateline or 20/20.

Good post. It's a stupid fucking rule that should be ignored. Why don't they test those pencil neck shitheads in congress for a brain....

On a side note. He well could have tested positive for something he quit using before all this BS started. IE deca is like 18 months or more for positive...

Actually Canseco was on a local spanish tv station in FL and spoke with em.He said he doesn't believe Palmerio has been on roids this year or last year.Though he did mention Palmerio has been on roids in the past.

With all the money these pro's earn, why the hell don't they use HGH? As far as I know they don't test for that. Just seems stupid to chance it when they know they're going to be tested. WTF?

He thought he was taking flax seed oil (a la Barry Bonds) .. lol!

I'm pretty sure they came out and said he violated the steroid policy. Poor guy, but I have no sympathy. He should have played it smarter.

Thats fucking hilarious, now I know my excuse if I ever get caught "I don't know how they got into my body!"

Yeah seriously.

Cop: Well, the breathalizer has you at about 2.0. You're going to jail for DUI.

Me: Uhh, listen. I don't know how that got in there, but I've never intentionally drank alcohol. Plus I've hit over 3,000 baseballs in my career.
