July 16, 201312 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 15, 2013 -> 06:54 AM) The harm in some random guy getting all jacked is that he ends up killing you over something trivial because of 'roid rage. Roid rage is basically a myth. Research shows that a "vast majority" of steroid users do not have any emotional changes during use and they don't have much of an explanation for why it seems to happen to others. I'm guessing if you ran into a guy who seemed to be roid raging, he was experiencing a placebo effect (and/or is just a giant asshole and felt entitled to be an asshole because he was juicing and had plausible deniability). Depression can be a side effect of ineffective post-cycle treatment due to low testosterone, however.

July 22, 201312 yr I should change the thread title to "MLB to suspend nobody, do nothing, get punked by the MLBPA" and change the subtitle to "Selig to claim drug testing is the best it has ever been"

July 22, 201312 yr According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, Alex Rodriguez "declined to answer the questions of MLB investigators when they interviewed him" about the Biogenesis clinic. Because of that, Heyman says, A-Rod is all but certain to receive a performance-enhancing drug suspension -- possibly for more than 50 games. There are another 15 or so players that are expected to be punished for their involvement in Biogenesis, including Brewers slugger Ryan Braun. The suspensions will likely be handed down simultaneously within the next couple of weeks and then the lengthy appeals process can begin. Per Rotoworld

July 22, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 04:46 PM) So why doesn't he get the first 35 games of next year? Probably because he didn't fight the suspension, this time around anyway.
July 22, 201312 yr Very convenient that the Brewers suck and Braun has been battling an injury all season. Probably the best time for him to cut a deal.

July 22, 201312 yr Technically Braun hasn't failed a MLB drug test, correct? This will be interesting with the players union.
