May 15, 20187 yr It'll be interesting to see what happens with guys like Bonds,Clemens,Colon,Manny and Ortiz in terms of being voted into the Hall. Will Robbie get the same leeway these guys will probably end up getting?

May 15, 20187 yr It’s kinda terrible the first thought is whether he gets an honor at a museum. But Cano and Braun are in a different category than Bonds and Clemens considering the testing policy and when it started. Post-2003, if you’ve done the time, you’re out.

May 15, 20187 yr Strike 1: One year suspended, and option to void contract Strike 2: Banned from baseball, no different than gambling That would probably get players more careful about what they’re taking.

May 15, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, StrangeSox said: but possibly used to mask steriods? Yes. That is why they take the diuretic. It's a banned substance. It doesn't matter if it was given to you by a licensed physician. Even if this is all true, you need to read the banned substances in the contract.
May 15, 20187 yr How did Cano pass a physical? Furosemide is a loop diuretic (water pill) that prevents your body from absorbing too much salt. This allows the salt to instead be passed in your urine. Furosemide is used to treat fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, liver disease, or a kidney disorder such as nephrotic syndrome.

He was using it to mask the PEDs. This is why it is a banned substance.

I guess he could be using it to make is body more lean but this is a odd way to do it for baseball.
May 15, 20187 yr What legitimate uses for this are there, and are any of them things Cano could have needed to take?
May 15, 20187 yr Just now, Jose Abreu said: How do you know? Just educated guessing. He passed a physical which means he doesn't have severe forms of those conditions which would require medication. If so, the team would have prescribed the meds, not a "licensed physician in the DR."
