Economically disadvantaged countries work better? Will you be okay?

Planning a vacation should part of the fun if you ask me. Each year I sneak off on my own for two weeks during Thanksgiving time. Right about now I’m in the deciding phase. Nothing more relaxing than sitting on the couch surfing the net looking at potential destinations. (2018 early favorite is San Diego-Santa…

Yes. WADA penalizes an entire country, Russia, all of it’s athletes. Meanwhile every single American athlete is doped to the gills. WADA is a corrupt and compromised joke that hurts more than it helps.

I actually admire the fact that 100% of Billy’s opinions on how the sport should be run are based entirely on how it benefits or hurts Barca. He truly deeply believes it too.

Some CEO? Doubtful. Far simpler explanation is that the refs bet the moneyline.

I love how all this attention is being focused on the methods poor and backwards countries use to cheat. Meanwhile BALCO 2.0, or more likely BALCO 6.0 is simply producing tons of new and improved shit that testers haven’t even heard of in exchange for sweet sweet Nike money.

I’m sure the Poles volunteered for the job just on the off chance they’d have the opportunity to piss on the frozen corpse of a long dead Nazi.

Shit like this enrages me so much that it makes me want to throw my keyboard against the wall. Which is fine, because the Logitech 2600 Wireless Keyboard is built to sustain impacts of up to 600 pounds of force.

Police apprehended not just these two, but an entire crime ring as well. In all, a total of eleven men and women were arrested. That said, police are on the lookout for an unknown, unnamed 12th man.

but it’s not clear if Manchester City’s money is worth it to the sport.

Oakland was indeed Ground Zero of the steroid era, although it wasn’t until a few years later, particularly when Jose went to Texas and spilled his secrets that steroids went from a niche thing to just about everywhere. Sounds amazing, but even into the 80's, adding muscle was considered harmful by many.

Reminds me of the time my neighbor tried to dive head first from the second story deck into the pool below. Missed by a foot. Both feet actually.

Interesting. Possible. Or they insist Gallo goes in any trade with Williams, likely in a three way, and then they really clear the decks cap wise. Or like you said, trade Gallo this summer if god forbid the Lebron option is in play. A first would do it.

At some point in the past decade “pass the eye test” went from describing someone who dismisses advance stats totally, to become anyone who doesn’t follow an advance stat blindly without context.

Only when I’ve been drinking heavily and can’t walk that well.

I don’t care either, but you still account for their effect. Not just their boost in slugging, but more importantly how they utterly transformed a player’s expected performance into their 30's and even 40's.

Sure it does, because in a strange coincidence half of the greatest hitters of all time played in the steroid era, and almost none did in the mid 60's through the late 80's.

I will say this, anyone trying to come up with a formula factoring in steroid inflation and how it prolonged careers and boosted counting stats, just compare Will Clark and Raffy.

Let’s not forget he was using spaces meant to be used by people like me. People whose brother in law is a dentist and can get a note to obtain a handicap tag.

This one of the 4 doctors Moore allowed Nassar to use as experts.
