While I (as well as basically everyone else) believe that fame and fortune was his reason for coming forward about PEDs, looking back on it fame and fortune was also inevitable of the first big name to come forward about PEDs. Especially in hindsight. You can't just completely expose something as massive as that and not become a known name. If he didn't claim that fame, someone else would have. Not sure I blame him.
just for clarification, and my own benefit, i need this cleared up; Say I, an MLB player, am taking steroids. These steroids don't increase the number of hits I get, just the frequency of said hits being HR's, right? isn't there also an argument that pitchers could pitch around a guy that they know can take them deep(i know most try to do this, but i'm talking the intentional-walk). Each of these players had to put bat-on-ball, which makes me think that the roids helped them 50-60% of the time. (but then again I also hold no athlete as a role model and fully expect anyone in sports I admire to end up fucking kids or killing dolphins).
You're talking two different things. Think of steroids in basketball terms, where instead of having a post game that same guy can hit three pointers too. Yeah, he's still gonna miss, but now when he scores, each basket is usually gonna be worth more. Steroids don't up the field goal percentage, just the average value of those made baskets.
Right, I get that. But lets take the case of Brian Bozworth, who benefited from steroids in every single aspect of his game. He was stronger, faster, bigger, and dumb(er) which allowed him to annihilate other players. Canseco wasn't a better fielder because od roids, nor was he faster, he did 1 thing better. I'm not saying MLB players didn't gain advantage, they obviously did. I just don't get the rhetoric where they killed the game. I get that its a stat sport and anyone fucking with that, fucks with every other players stat, i just don't get the vitriol in this one sport. Like why don't enforcers in the NHL get popped for roids and see the same backlash.
I shot a deer at about 5:00 and now eight hours later everything is all packaged up and in the freezer. About fifty pounds of fresh meat in all. I love hunting but damn is there work to do after pulling the trigger.
I'm so bored at this meet that I'm counting all the mom haircuts and figuring if there's a way I can take a picture to show you guys what an epidemic it is. And then I wonder if it's weird sitting next to and talking to someone that has the exact same haircut as you. Business in the back, party in the front.
My torture is over and I stopped at Dunkin Donuts on the way home. I kicked it old school and went to one without a drive thru. As I'm waiting in line I see they have some of those croissant donuts. I figure I'd give it a shot. I gave my daughter a bite first and she said it just tastes like a glazed donut. And it does, sort of. You know how croissants have those flaky layers? They almost act as sugary goodness pockets for the glaze. So it was like a wet donut. Delicious. However, the price tag is rather steep for one ($2.49) so it's something I'll reserve for either when I'm drinking or PMSing--I can't seem to shovel food in my mouth fast enough then. They also come in their own little box. Which I don't get, but still, I guess that justifies the price tag. And of course, the coffee was delicious. Like I even need to state that.
The best part of meets is watching all the competitors freak out when weigh ins get pushed back so they have to stay dehydrated and they all get cranky en masse. Just saw Layne Norton squat 630 pounds though. For a tested meet, that's kinda crazy.
I'd rather sit on hard aluminum bleachers for 5 hours to watch my daughter swim for a total of less than 3 minutes than deal with cranky adult men. Your mileage may vary. You know, when I type it out, that's really kind of sad. At least the mile (fine-1650) took her a little under 19 minutes on Friday. Yay parenting.
Nobody is going to address this? I don't even know where to begin with your statement. People really let things get that bad to where body parts fall off as if it's normal?

She's got 10 of the damn things, what's the big deal? That's a woman who is at peace(s) with herself.
Maybe that lady was just toe'n the line. She done got toed off... If TX toed her once she toed her twice. This toetally might be the greatest post ever toed. Come Christmas, maybe this person can hang the digit in a doorway as mistletoe? But don't make her angry because she might go and break her toe off in your ass. I'm just going to assume her patient was a morbidly obese person with advanced diabetes and a leaky, swollen leg that looks like a dead elephant's.
Well, if you've ever seen the business end of a sheep, you can kind of see where drunk him was coming from... Just sayin...
