burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I really wish these guys would just man up and admit their mistakes. If Cola really did knowingly take it, it looks especially horrible since Bautista and Donaldson just called out PED users a couple of days ago. No way you can look at your teammates again after that.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Certainly feel awful for Colabello. Part of me wants to believe him but too many guys have cried wolf before him. I would also bang the s*** out of Jackie Redmond.
Maahfaace Verified Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 The pills are massive, I have a close friend that used them when he did his cycle, there's no way that he wasn't aware of what he was taking in my opinion. no one eats steriods, and if they do they are retarded. Injection is the only way to go (as it only passes through your liver once, as opposed to twice through ingestion)

KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 O.K. So I missed the big hulabaloo and I'm just getting caught up to this thread. Just a word about some of the comments about broadcasters. We all know this board isn't above discussing looks. I'm pretty sure the thread ranking the looks of the Blue Jays was the most popular of the off-season so I'm not going to be a hypocrite and impose a sexual double standard here but I would ask to maybe curb some of the more lecherous and crude comments. They do attract complains from other posters who just want to talk baseball. It's not a big deal every now and then but when it's constant it gets old very quick which is why Gbill finally got banned by one of the mods.

Injection is the only way to go (as it only passes through your liver once, as opposed to twice through ingestion) I'm aware of that. I never said he took them orally, I said that he's aware of what he was taking. The pills are gigantic, they're like an inch and a quarter long, someone who is using them is fully aware that they're using them. I've been around steroids far too much in my life. I was friends and played football with the guy that provided steroids to the UW football team and a lot of the friends I used to lift with all used as well.
intentional wok Old-Timey Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Is there not a huge Colabello banner on the stadium this year? Wonder how fast it goes. Wonder how fast he gets wiped from promo material too.

Its not fair to be spreading rumors about people either, just seems pretty low. Pretty sure Bryan Burke went after the guys spreading rumors about him and Hazel Mae on the internet a few years ago.

Yeah so and so is hot/not hot is one thing but some of the stuff here borders on creepy fan fiction.
jackie Verified Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 No wonder he was struggling this year. He was appealing the first test in early march and knew the axe was about to fall. Who could concentrate on baseball with all that going on
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 A technicality in the system? I mean, I guess he technically tested positive for a banned substance, but what the f*** could he possibly mean here? http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/10/21/tainted-supplements-sold-after-recalls/17666499/

nextyear Verified Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 If he really used PED's then I can't feel bad for him. He got his 15 minutes of fame and $500,000 last year and now he can probably play in Korea eventually for $1 million as he could have last year.
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Not sure if he intentionally cheated or not, but the odds suggest he probably did. Regardless, I feel bad for the guy. His opportunities were already pretty limited, and this coupled with his bad starts, probably sinks his chances. So, he maybe takes home $300,000 total in his entire MLB career, when he came so close to really cashing in. I'm a lot more sympathetic to a fringe guy taking steroids to stay in the game. It's the difference between $1,000,000 a year and $12/hour. It's the guys like Braun, and Bonds that I don't get. They're already good players, but they need to cheat to be the best.

Article was from two years ago but I doubt much has changed. If this is what happened to Cola then it really, really sucks. If it really was a supplement than Cola should at least name the product if only as a warning to others.
Pendleton Old-Timey Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I would have supported a longer suspension. 20 games for every letter in the name of the substance.
RealAccountant Old-Timey Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 At what point did the Jays front office know. Today or March 13
King Old-Timey Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 At what point did the Jays front office know. Today or March 13 Atkins said he found out this morning
HERPDERP Old-Timey Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Has there even been a player that knowingly and admitted to taking supplements to get better? it seems either they don't know how it got in there or they didn't know it was illegal (the Stroman excuse)
RealAccountant Old-Timey Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Atkins said he found out this morning So when a player files an apeal the front office doesn't even know Wondering if he would have been sitting more of they did know
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 There's likely a ton of players even stars taking PEDs right now. Just its so easy to beat a test so thats why you see hardly anyone getting caught.

Lmao it Has testosterone in the name of the supplement

He's probably taking multiple supplements so it'd be tough to find out. I mean the only thing he could do to try and clear his name would be to test all of his supplements and see if they were laced. But it seems like its too late for that.
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Zaun and Pillar believe he didn't do it Zaun has first hand knowledge of using lol
FrozenRopes Verified Member Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 For a guy who lived as clean as cc (as per kp) you know he did it. He knew what he was ingesting. Sorry kp, your boys BABIP gets an asterisk.
