    I'm waiting for the NBA to tackle HGH and steroids, not to mention other illegal drug use. My guess is that it doesn't happen.

    Another MLB player being corrupt. The sport has taken a shit. I bet theres at least 25% of his home run balls that shouldn't have counted because he was on enhancement drugs.

    Everyone should flood Bill Simmons' e-mail with this. I believe he was Manny's #1 fan. So anytime he makes a crack about Greg, just say at least Greg never did PEDs.

    Fuck you Bill Simmons!

    Bill Simmons hates Manny, just like 99% of Red Sox fans.

    And if Manny's story is correct, that the medication was prescribed by a doctor, then he probably shouldn't get suspended.

    Just heard it was a "masking agent" for steroids. Some drug usually for women that I guess helps steroid users get all their "chemicals" back to a normal looking order. Heard is on the local radio

    its not proven he took steroids. its proven he took something that steroid users take to help the body. maybe his doctor really did prescribe him with that for a legit reason..manny isn't appealing so probably not.

    I have heard this "masking agent" talk too, and apparently people have no idea what that means. A masking agent is something you take to interfere with the results of the drug test so the results are either negative or inconclusive. That is not what he was taking.

    I guess there's some proof that I don't read his crappy articles. I just figured he hated Manny, because every other Boston fan seems to.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, Manny didn't have a masking agent in his body. He had a drug that restarts the body's production of testosterone, that steroid users take after a steroid cycle.

    It's a banned substance itself, and since its legitimate medical use is a fertility drug for women, it's hard to believe that it was taken for a non-steroid-related reason. Manny is a confused type of person, but generally not that confused. He has a whole off-season to carry a child, you'd think he'd start trying to conceive later in the season, so that most of the adverse physical effects would happen between seasons.
