Needles are probably a lot harder to rationalize to oneself than a handful of pills.

 

But who am I kidding, these guys (the type to take PED's) don't care enough to have to rationalize anything to themselves.

Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure the orals are way more dangerous than injected ones. IIRC, they damage the hell out of your liver. But people don't like needles.

 

This is absolutely accurate.

I know McCutchen didn't like giving up his spot in center getting a teammate suspended seems a bit extreme.

Word on the street is that personal trainers hate him.

Where is this street where all of the personal trainers are hanging out and slinging hot gossip.

This is a good article and I pretty share the exact feelings on PEDs. Hopefully we get there one day.

I'm not really sure what the point of this article is other than to get people to talk about Jeff Passan, but no, hopefully we never get there any day. It's a stupid article. These guys aren't WWE performers. PEDs or whatever you want to call them have no place in sports and are harmful to the body.

I'm not going to act like I'm overly educated on the subject, but I'd like to believe there's things that are banned that if taken under the proper supervision could help players and not harm them any more than not banned substances. Or at least be researched more to take off of banned lists. Especially for recovery from injury or maintaining strength, etc. to avoid injury.

Passan's an idiot and his article was terrible, but the bold part is a really incorrect declaration to make as if that's true across the board.

So this is the new Pirates thread, right?

 

The Pirates season so far....

 

Swept by Boston, swept Atlanta, swept by Cincy, swept the Cubs, and then swept by the Cardinals.
