Can you honestly believe Manny could keep to a regular schedule of dosing as is required by steroids?

Everyone has good anecdotal evidence on why Thomas, Griffey, Maddux are clean and I would tend to believe that for each of them as well. It doesn't change the fact that we don't know anything, and it really becomes a problem for other players who have not been named in any reports or books or tests but who also happen to be big, muscular guys: what do we make of Pujols, Manny, Howard, others? Why does Griffey escape suspicion and Manny does not?

I'm with you SF, but I see Jack's point. And it really is a shame, but I think all those who keep calling for a release of the other 103 tests that came back positive have a point. That is such a large number, and I think that by keeping those names sealed, there is a implicit accusation to anyone who played during that era. These tests were supposed to be anonymous to begin with. Names should have never been attached. The only thing HGH is prescribed for is certain forms of serious birth defects. People take it for asthetic reasons, as well, but no one is prescribing HGH to recover from a knee injury. Steroids are much more commonly prescribed. In many ways, cortisone or aspirin are PEDs. There's a line there that is very gray. But I feel like we've had this conversation before.

I think this discussion is all wrong. Players should be forced to take PED's inorder to justify their grossly inflated incomes. In my estimation, if they're not cheating, they're not trying hard enough.

Sinking his teeth into it is probably what got Robby into trouble to begin with...

You want people to take you seriously, try not including phrases like "full blown AIDS" in your complaint. You steal that one directly from Family Guy or what?
I also wasn't aware that HIV caused foaming at the mouth.
