well i dont think theyre thinking its TOO serious now as theyre not claiming steroids..theyre just saying raised levels.. you think if it was clear cut theyd just slam it as steroids.

elevated testosterone levels are a side effect of steroid use, even if you can findd a way to mask the actual synthetic roids, which is why they look for elevated testosterone. My question would be, "what was the chain-of-custody on his 'A' sample?" And, "How much credibility is there in the lab that peformed the tests?"

Why the hell do these *****'s do this anyway. Bonds, McGuirre, Sosa, Giambi, they are all wusses if you ask me. Griffey and ARod do fine without them.

also an easy way to identify steriod use, is an elevated estrogen level (since men do produce it, in small amounts). the more testosterone, the more estrogen is produced by the body to help level things out. thats why if youre a heavy juicer and you go off of it, you get "bitch ****" from all the excessive estrogen
