Does the A-Rod admission give Lance Armstrong the chance to admit his use?

In the whole area of PED's, the real question is going to be what actually constitutes 'using.'

There's so much out there, so much more sophisticated than the testing and so-called doping experts can track. We've got high schools worrying about kids drinking Muscle Milk because it could trigger a hormone that could trigger a positive test...and meanwhile, in secret labs, the real experts are creating drugs and chemicals so advanced and sophisticated that it will take years before the testers even understand what they should be testing for.

So did Lance take anything they could have tested for? Probably not. Was there something else involved? Will we ever know? Probably not. We're past the era of 'loosy goosy' in the clubhouse.

 

I expect Chris to delete that post by 11 p.m. EST.

 

Just for the record - I still pop wood to bumpy car rides. Mr Happy is an over-active guy who makes it hard (no pun intended) for me to wear any shorts less than knee length in public. I look at A-Rod and I think about orange - orange makes me think about oranges and then that makes me think about how hot Anita Bryant was back in the day and how I'd make her not just for breakfast anymore. Bamm - wood.



A-Rod makes it OK for me to admit this.

 

Glad I could provide a laugh.

What I meant by the last point was that A-Rod was one of, if not THE, best baseball player of the past decade. And yet, now it's proven that many of his achievements are the result of PED use.

Isn't it now safe to say that ALL of the I-can't-believe-that-guy-did-that-amazing-thing in sports over the past decade are the result of illegal PED use?

In other words, if that record is amazing, isn't it now safe to say it --regardless of what IT is -- is the result of PED use?

 

I still don't understand where you're going with A-Rod being caught relating to Lance Armstrong admitting anything.

 

...and I don't think it's safe to say that "now it's proven that many of his achievements are the result of PED use" either.

 

may not be proven, but you have to the nost naive person in the world to believe he didn't. Cycling is the dirtiest sport in the world.

 

Well, not really, no.

He was pretty good before the PED use, too, assuming the time frame is accurate.

No.

Not at all. Not even close.

To me, the A-Rod just shows one thing: people need to knock it off with all of the "Guys like Bonds really spoil it for ______, because we know ______ is clean." Because we don't know at all, and the vast majority of guys who used PEDs do not turn into Bluto.

 

I believe the comment was directed at A-Rod, not Armstrong...

 

My apologies.

 

And thank goodness for that.

 

I was thinking more this:



But yeah, point taken.
