Amid Fiery Tempest, McGwire’s Rhetoric Boils Down to Protecting the MLB System »
Mark McGwire will no longer discuss his use of anabolic steroids and human growth hormone in baseball, so says a spokesperson for the St. Louis Cardinals, according to www.sportingnews.com. And I say, Thank God. In my 50 years as a Missourian, I cannot recall a public persona capable of tainting this state like McGwire has [...]
Mark McGwire comes clean about being dirty. »
This doesn’t come as a big surprise to anyone in the steroid industry but it’s certainly something to write about. I think its interesting that McGwire is willing to talk about his steroid use now (that he is getting a job back in baseball), seemingly after the statute of limitations would have run out for [...]
Major Steroid Busts Linked Together »
Late last night steroid author Anthony Roberts posted the following information in his blog (http://www.anthonyroberts.co.za) about the biggest steroid busts over the last few years being connected. “The two largest steroid busts ever, Operation Which Doctor (February 26, 2007 – $30m dollars and 24 defendants nationwide) and Operation Raw Deal (September 24th, 2007 – $6.5m [...]
Is there no supply, or is it just no one is talking? »
Its been almost 2 years since Operation Raw deal went down, and frankly, being just an “Average Joe” within the steroid world for the most part, I haven’t really noticed much changing in terms of being able to source gear. I cant say that I was actively hunting for AAS, since I sustained a pretty [...]

Say it ain’t so, Sosa (Is anyone Sosa-prised?) »
Yet another one bites the dust… Sammy Sosa, who joined with Mark McGwire in 1998 in a celebrated pursuit of baseball’s single-season home run record, is among the players who tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug in 2003, according to lawyers with knowledge of the drug-testing results from that year. The disclosure that Sosa tested [...]
Media’s dopey redemption theme ridiculous for baseball »
The faulty redemption theme, a staple of stupid press coverage on doping in American sport, began decades ago with media tales of contrition by athletes coming off steroid suspensions. In the 1990s, for example, drug-tainted football players cried in familiar refrain when returning to the game: Waa. I used steroids and made a mistake. I’m [...]
Will Manny Ramierez assert “Small Balls” defense? »
I have used steroids. At one time or another I have done cycles of of Deca-Durabolin, Primobolan, Sustanon and Winstrol. They are often done in combination. While I am not a doctor, my personal experiences have given me enough of a knowledge base to discuss steroid related subjects including the official statement of Los Angeles [...]
