TheTruth05 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 It'll be interesting to see what happens with guys like Bonds,Clemens,Colon,Manny and Ortiz in terms of being voted into the Hall. Will Robbie get the same leeway these guys will probably end up getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get in then the steroids argument might take a pretty big back seat allowing the others to get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 It’s kinda terrible the first thought is whether he gets an honor at a museum. But Cano and Braun are in a different category than Bonds and Clemens considering the testing policy and when it started. Post-2003, if you’ve done the time, you’re out.

flavum Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Strike 1: One year suspended, and option to void contract Strike 2: Banned from baseball, no different than gambling That would probably get players more careful about what they’re taking.

ptatc Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 2 minutes ago, StrangeSox said: but possibly used to mask steriods? Yes. That is why they take the diuretic. It's a banned substance. It doesn't matter if it was given to you by a licensed physician. Even if this is all true, you need to read the banned substances in the contract.

Dick Allen Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 How did Cano pass a physical? Furosemide is a loop diuretic (water pill) that prevents your body from absorbing too much salt. This allows the salt to instead be passed in your urine. Furosemide is used to treat fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, liver disease, or a kidney disorder such as nephrotic syndrome.

I guess he could be using it to make is body more lean but this is a odd way to do it for baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He passed a physical which means he doesn't have severe forms of those conditions which would require medication. If so, the team would have prescribed the meds, not a "licensed physician in the DR."
