Question about roids? |
Heres my question. Growing up I was a big Rafael Palmeiro fan. When I found out he tested positive for steroids I was so shocked. But still i don't believe it. When he started playing he weighed 190 and then 18 years later he weighed 215 thats only 25 pounds. I read in a fitness magazine that the average male adds that much weight naturally from the age 25 until 40. So my question is why doesnt anyone believe him. And are there any substances that can make you stronger with out making you gain weight. It is possible with so many different health aid supplements out there both natural and unnatural it's possible that at times players have unknowingly taken or consumed something that's banned. I think there's a stereo type that every time someone gets busted for using steroids they're shooting up like an heroine addict. But in reality there are so many body building health supplements it's can be difficult to tell which ones are OK and which ones have has an extra chemical that may test positive for steroids. Players today for the most part are far more careful what they take, where as in the past they may have been more lax about it. Also, what we don't see is how many times these players were tested clean. Palmerio for example may have tested 12 times for a banned substance, but only tested positive once. But the public's perception since then is that he takes all the time and always have. It's hard to pass judgment when you don't have all the facts. Well Palmeiro got busted so why would anyone believe him. He got caught lying too! I mean, unlike Bonds he got his hand caught in the cookie jar. Nobody believes anything that comes out of his mouth. He's what you call a "real" cheater. Yes I agree with The Saint. Bonds has never gotten busted. this day and age in baseball no one believes anyone as the best players are being found as the users and when ever someone has a breakout year now everyone will question there stance with steroids. I love palmeiro always have I live one hour away from camden yards and I hate to see him not get into the hall b/c of this and don't think he did take the steroids. he could have gone out of the game a lot better instead the lasting image of him is a Cheater. Ya i am a big rafael palmeiro fan to and i feel he is clean or at least pretty clean but he was a nice guy and fun to watch.. i dont think there is a steroid tht can do tht cuz remember muscle ways more then fat soo he would have to be dieting while he was takin the juice. but besides tht RAFAEL PALMEIRO FOR THE HOF He got caught and then tried to snubb his way out by saying well Tejada does it too. Palmeiro did it and that's it. Not all performence enhancing drugs make a drastic change like it did to his fellow cheaters Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds. Ever heard of the first guy ever caught by major league baseball? His name is Alex Sanchez...he weighs 155 and Neifi Perez just got caught and sucks at baseball and tried to get better I guess. If Jim Rice can't make the HOF legally....then why should Palmiero make it when he cheated??? Is it worse to bet on ur team to win or cheat to add to ur HR totals..that is the question |
