I know this is a cycling site but since this seems to be related by virtue of drug testing and recent events in cycling I thought it might be relevant. I've always had a love hate thing for Manny. He's been one hellva slugger but his lazy arrogant attitude always ruined it for me.
What kills me about this one is the talk about the Hall of Fame. Have people completely lost all sensibility? I thought things like the Hall of Fame, be it baseball or any other sport, was reserved for only top quality athletes who excelled in their particular sport. I happen to believe it should be done naturally with blood, sweat, tears and lotsa hard work!
When my son was in High School and saw a few of the guys getting big quick he had a keen interest in how they did it. We had some serious talk about taking substances like that. It's hard to resist the "easy" way and put in the hard work. My son argued with me about the safety of taking creatine and I understand they say there are no side effects and it's natural but...I just don't think some people will naturally ever have the body mass of others and a good example of that could be Derek Jetter. You can say what you want but I have a TON of respect for Derek.
