Steroids are illegal without a prescription. If one guy is in jail for committing a murder and someone else commits a different murder, does that "help" the first murderer? <BR/><BR/>I don't discriminate between the PED cheaters, regardless of which sport they played or how well known they are. Merriman's stats should be dealt with the same way that I said that A-Rod's stats should be handled. I know that this is not going to happen, but that is my opinion.David Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444347475303187373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812670776373470303.post-67434918366072618842009-02-26T13:29:00.000-05:002009-02-26T13:29:00.000-05:00marcelwith other names like mcgwire clemens a rod ...marcel<BR/><BR/><BR/>with other names like mcgwire clemens a rod sosa this helps bonds because he was public enemy number 1, we find out he wasnt the only one doing it.<BR/><BR/>ryan howard is the guy now everyone will look at to be the guy or albert pujols but who would of thougt a rod was useing how we dont know anyone else is. and why isnt steriods tarnish football players david it enhance there performance shawn merriman had like 16 sacks in 12 games before he got caught.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812670776373470303.post-58000311748728967052009-02-11T22:38:00.000-05:002009-02-11T22:38:00.000-05:00Marcel:As I indicated in the post, it is difficult...Marcel:<BR/><BR/>As I indicated in the post, it is difficult to take A-Rod's comments at face value.David Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444347475303187373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812670776373470303.post-548617570970664812009-02-11T22:27:00.000-05:002009-02-11T22:27:00.000-05:00marceldavid madnice this was a ploy by a rod he a ...marcel<BR/><BR/>david madnice this was a ploy by a rod he a cheater he used more than 3 years. he did a good pr doing the opposite of bonds clemens mcgwire, and see if the public will forgive him like giambi but theres holes hear why would he only use for 3 years and would inject himself with something he knew nuthing about. his numbers shot up in 2007 how was he not using then like they shot up in 2001. too many holes selena roberts wanted the truth like all of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812670776373470303.post-77556356943800396972009-02-10T15:45:00.000-05:002009-02-10T15:45:00.000-05:00Madnice:I agree with you and I thought that I made...Madnice:<BR/><BR/>I agree with you and I thought that I made that clear in the post: A-Rod made the correct p.r. move by apologizing but his story still has plenty of holes in it.David Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444347475303187373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812670776373470303.post-69048196871725553662009-02-10T08:46:00.000-05:002009-02-10T08:46:00.000-05:00His interview was a joke though, David.

Arod never said the word steroids...no one has. Yeah he admitted but it wasnt a strong admission. Then he discusses what Selena Roberts did. Thats irrelevant to what the big deal is. <BR/><BR/>Who is the say he is not on HGH now? So the pressure in Arlington is more than the pressure in the Bronx? He got another contract and his playoff faliures are well documented. So why wouldnt he try something else as a Yankee? Next week when he goes to training camp I guarantee these questions will be asked. Like how did he inject? Who did it? Where did you get them?madnicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496277691175179159noreply@blogger.com
