I think it could be good for baseball in a backhanded way.  Many fans have thought that MLB has been covering for the superstars of the game or just not testing them.  This helps to disprove that theory.

I don't know. I think it's good for D-backs baseball. We could use all the help we can get. LOL.

Tarnishes everything.   I am so freakin pissed at this POS.   WTF??   Is Ortiz next?   He can't hit anything right now -- of course he took it too.

I guess I should not be suprised, but I am. Manny Ramirez seemed like he was always in a good mood. I thought steroids made you mad ("roid rage").

Heard it was some female hormone. Who cares, maybe that hormone keeps him from cutting off those "purty" locks?

Frankly, as far as I'm concerned, the PROFESSIONAL athletes can use anything they want to increase their performance in the game. The only reason the earlier athletes didn't use them is because they didn't have them available.
