Also, did you notice that all those that were snubbed didn’t break any of the rules of the game. It seems to me that the baseball writers just need to declare that “we aren’t taking any more votes for another 15 years as we suspect everyone used and every year will be considered a year that potential candidates were vote down. I suppose that as part of that, the sportswriters should be required to PROVE that they were above reproach. It certainly isn’t fair that some drunken, drug using writer should be allowed to be hypocritical and vote someone out of the HOF when they were at least as unworthy of being entitled to vote.

Okay, not forever. Incidentally detectable from noticing the odor about 72 hours. Detectable in urine about two weeks. Detectable in hair until you cut it.

A long time.

Funny that the drug of choice is so old school, and probably the easiest to find after decades of improved anti-doping testing. I haven’t looked into it, but I cant imagine there aren’t PEDs being created by the legitimate and shadow drug industries that are both harder to test for and more effective.

Unless the PED industry is as reliant on old school methods as all those flu vaccines that use a method created in the 50s.

THC does not stay in the system forever but it does collect in hair. They can test by taking a lock of hair, but by the end of the season, you’ll have to explain to your son why all the ballplayers are bald.

True, but even a blind chicken finds corn once in awhile. Still, when that happens, I suppose we should congratulate the chicken.

Way to go, chicken.

I find it hilarious that you have twice posted to criticize Craig for misspelling a word and on both occasions, misspelled words in your post.

Also, dude, it’s a spelling error. Get over it.

I’m 17 years old and I’m taking HGH right now, it’s about 2,000 dollars a month, but it’s a necessary cost if you want to fit in with the big boys…

Didn’t you post that comment perviously?

By: DelawarePhilliesFan

DelawarePhilliesFan — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:07:26 +0000

You know….”perviously” is a word…..it means “open to arguments”. So you would have:

(Open to argument), HGH testing — which requires blood draws — had been limited to spring training.

But ahhhhh….what do I know compared to someone with your screen name

That’s why they need marijuana testing across the board. THC stays in the system forever. At least they’ll have something to show for it./

Ignorance is when you are uninformed.

Willful ignorance is when you refuse to become informed.

Reading the available literature on a subject and forming an opinion based on the best available data and the interpretation of that data by the worlds foremost medical experts….that is not ignorance.

No one in the medial community has ever though HGH could do 1/2 the things that snake oil salesmen have claimed it could do, but they did the research to find out if it could just in case….and it can’t. In otherwise healthy, adults with normal GH levels, it does not add muscle mass, it does not improve strength, it does not slow or reverse aging (at any level, cellular or otherwise), and it does not speed recovery from injury or surgery.

“In all serious”? Really? And you think Craig needs a proofreader. Are you nominating yourself?

By: stex52

“Ryan Braun tested positive for testosterone at the end of the 2011 season, but had his suspension overturned on appeal.”

Craig is wearing his trolling hat today

Really? Because he’s got pretty much every peer-reviewed study ever done on the subject on his side.

By: Lukehart80

Am I wrong, or have studies shown that HGH doesn’t really have the kind of effects people once thought?

That much closer to league-wide acceptance of PEDs! Bonds and Clemens should start writing their HOF speeches for next season.
