My goodness, can we relax before tar and feathering the games best player? you mean to tell me this swollen jaw dude is on HGH? Preposterous! FWIW I think HGH should be legal in general and it shouldn't be a banned substance in MLB as well but if this is true it's a million times bigger than the sign stealing scandal this involves a behind the scenes shady ass deal with the commish. This sort of waiver (if true) CANNOT be private. Edited January 16, 2020 by chitownsportsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I also heard that Mike Trout wears an oven mitt when baserunning to hide the electronic sign relay switch he carries in his hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it's a ridiculous claim, (pretty convinced most guys are on something anyway) but I'm not going to go bang down manfred's door on the word of a dude's 18 year old kid, who's team was getting bashed in constantly by Trout.

HGH is a miracle drug for fatique and recovery in season and furthermore can only be detected via blood test. I'd hazard a guess 2/3 of pro athletes are on it. Including Lebron and almost every big time NBA star and NFL star. I don't care, more power to 'em. But if true this waiver is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing, MMA, NFL, Cycling, all the Olympic sports. Testers adapt to dopers, not the other way around. You keep forgetting that most of those sports don't use the baseline blood testing other than the Olympics and they are catching people all the time. I have proof people are getting caught in this system. You have subjective opinions that people are not getting caught. I never said it isn't happening. As I said before "if you aren't cheating, you aren't trying." However, it is more difficult and the research bears it out how tough it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god you're clever enough to see this obvious truth about Mike Trout and regularly remind the board just how clever you are. People will see the light eventually, just need to beat them over the head with it a few more times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 If you dont wish to read the entire study, although it is educational, the key conclusions are below: Given the results of clinical trials, there is no clear benefit for athletes who inject HGH. In contrast, there are significant dangers, both medically and financially. Athletes considering this drug should be strongly urged to avoid its use completely.

Its banned because it's dangerous and not good for you. Period. Again clinical studies have shown time and time again it's not beneficial to athletes and does not increase strength gains.

Manfred you gots some 'splainin' to do homie. If true, it will be in small enough doses not to make much of a difference in performance. These waivers are not uncommon and strictly reulates the dose and the players are tested much more often to make sure the dose is regulated.

If the desired effect is power for homeruns it is though. Relief pitchers in the 90's were the primary abusers for the endurance and recovery effect. This didn't create the muscle bulk then either because that wasn't the desired effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just told the hitter a specific pitch to look for, which is pretty damaging to a pitcher. if there was a more advanced buzzing system(amount of buzzes for a specific pitch) honestly I would wonder how many people would use it because it might complicate things if you confuse yourself thinking you felt two when there were three or something like that. any way about it, it's a huge advantage to the hitter.
