I don't have a huge Tatis stash, maybe three graded cads, but damn, what the hell is wrong with these athletes? You have The world by the nuts and you throw it away.

How much value will card values loose overnight?

If its significant 50% or so then it might be good to buy now and sell right away once he is back.

It's actually really easy to take something that would cause you to fail a drug test, stuff in supplements that you could buy over the counter at GNC. You can't accidently take nandrolone.

Also every pro (hell every college) organization is gonna know/set your supplement regime and triple check every supplement you are taking. I can't imagine any pro athlete would even take a supplement (if they have 3rd party trainers etc) without clearing it with the org first that it won't cause you to fail any tests.

The most common defense it cross contamination or accidently taking wrong supplements, but again thats gonna be for over the counter GNC stuff

When you have $350M already in the bank…I would imagine your give crap meter is pretty low.

Too late to get the therapeutic exemption, I guess.

I think we've come to the point where if he thought he'd done something wrong he would have admitted it. His apology did not provide that. You can tell he wanted to skewer the testing system but he probably couldn't for whatever reason.

Anyone else find this weird that two different posters posted the same thing?

This is what I was thinking.

Write a clause in any contacts that stipulate a positive PED test nullifies the remainder of the contract.

If the MLB was actually serious about cleaning up PED use, this is the obvious solution.

i don't know why there's no stipulation in a contract that stats the contract is voided if caught using banned substances.

According to Phil Hughes this won’t affect his cards prices lol.

Can you say “denial?”
