Mitchell Report Thread (Nothing to see here! Drugs are bad. Crisis averted!)

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (Wait a minute: Send in the skeptics!)

That line of reasoning would suggest Congress is motivated by something other than a chance to get on camera again, which would be a naive a conclusion. Wouldn't you think Waxman has sufficient steroid and HGH issues in his own district (Hollywood) to consider?

Once Ben Johnson got busted he became "Jamaica's" Ben Johnson

And then when he started doing Cheetah ads, he became Pathetic Ben Johnson

I haven't read this whole thread, but the Mitchell report is pretty, um, uneyepopping. That's all he's got for 20 months of digging into the game's dark side?

I could have read Game of Shadows, flashed some twenties in a bar, done a google search and been able to outwrite that collection of conjecture in two weeks.

I miss the steroid era already.....I liked the freakishly big guys launching 500 ft. home runs, stealing 40 bases, a dozen or so triples. Good times.

I had trouble sleeping last night, and now I know why. Greater Canada doesn't love me any more.

I recently went to a holiday lunch with about 200 people; it featured a raffle and a contest involving obscure facts. My table answered 75% of the questions correctly. One table filled with prominent attorneys, business people and government officials, got all the questions right. They won a nice prize.

A couple of days later I learned they had been using a Blackberry to answer the questions.

I don't like cheaters, it's becoming accepted, and I object. I'm not interested in parsing baseball's rules on a given date. I don't like it, I don't like testing science chasing the lastest form of HGH, I want it to stop. That's how I feel.

What's realistic is another matter.

 

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (Wait a minute: Send in the skeptics!)

When we do that thread, it has to include a poll on when--not if, but when--HGH will become medically-approved and accepted throughout all of professional sports.

Faster recovery, longer careers....hell, it's going to be THE wonder drug for the entire population. Just a matter of time before it's completely acceptable in sports.

 

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (Wait a minute: Send in the skeptics!)

That's realistic.

I wonder if HGH makes less or more hair grow out of your ears and nostrils? No free lunch.

 

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (Wait a minute: Send in the skeptics!)

Couldn't agree more 21, I'd love to get my hands on some.....I bet its great for hangovers too

 

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (Wait a minute: Send in the skeptics!)

Thousands upon thousands of affluent elderly Americans will vouch for it right now.

 

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (Wait a minute: Send in the skeptics!)

HGH is medically and FDA approved as are certain anabolic steroids.

Using them simply for body-building/performance enhancement is not their approved purpose.

 

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (Wait a minute: Send in the skeptics!)

Neither is using HGH to slow the pace of some aspects of aging. A very compelling case could be made for the use of HGH for either of those things. Do you think it's possible that the FDA might be wrong?
