How do you make a hormone?

Ā 

Don't pay her!

Ā 

(Sorry for the delay. I saw this earlier on my tablet, but didn't have my sign-in creds. After a couple cocktails, I remembered and stopped by. Nobody should have to wait that long when they toss up a big fat softball of a setup line like that.)

How do you make Bengay?

Translation - I've taken many tests and never got caught

I just only hope this ends with like a dozen Pats players suspended for using the TB12 system, a huge scandal, BB getting suspended for knowing about it but not stopping it, and calls for Kraft to sell the team...

A man can dream, can't he?

..how does an "unrecognizable substance" constitute a suspension if it is unrecognizable?......would that be covered under the "Gotta Be PED" clause??...........

Ā 

It means that his test sample(s) showed evidence of PED use--perhaps abnormally-elevated testosterone or some other specific marker--but that the testing group is unable to identify specifically what substance was used to achieve the effect.

I heard that they flagged him for breakdown products that were recognized. Even if there was also a substance that was unrecognized.Ā

meh, always happy to see the pats suffer, and happy that it could help the bills, but pro athletes in the nfl more or less all are on something.Ā  they should be, who wouldn't take something that would help you be better at your job which defines your entire life and can make you rich, but only lasts for a short while?

Ā 

i read a comment in this thread about how in sports drugs are bad (mkayyyy) because it means more talented people either have to take them, or lose to less talented people who use them.Ā  how is that a problem?Ā  why not view them as an equalizer that allows hungrier harder working guys who were born with less talent to excel against naturally born players?

1. Ā Doesn't a 4 game suspension mean he has already popped at least once?

Ā 

2. Ā "unrecognizable substance" - look at Boston's dominance in sports lately that has been unrivaled for a city ever. Ā Whenever in sports something happens so far out of the norm it has to be questioned. Ā I've been saying for a few years that there is a Boston area BALCO type lab supplying teams. Ā I wonder if this is the first crack in that case.

Ā 

3. 32 years old coming off an acl injury the suspension might actually be good for him lol. Ā This way he can be fresh for their inevitable long playoff run.

I think itā€™s just marijuana that they give them a couple chances before hitting them with the 4 gamer. They are stricter on PEDs.

Why would they have to have a local lab when they can all just have it shipped to P.Ā  Manning's wife?

The prick wasted a whole day of the arbitrator's time whining. Ā He should get an extra game. Ā How does thing take a whole day? Ā Roid up and lawyer up. Ā What a douche.

Are you really deflecting this Patriots topic to a three year old Bronco story? Ā That's sad dude. Ā Don't let your love of a football team define you.
