Thread: Manny Being Manny... PWND! (Manny Suspended 50 games for PED use)

Under the current agreement it's 50 games for the 1st offense, 100 games for the 2nd offense, and lifetime ban for the 3rd offense.

A buddy of mine just said he'd heard from his friend that the MAJORITY of kids of players taking PEDs end up having a noticable, if not debilitating disability.

Anyone else heard this?

The story I read said he tested positive for it in spring training and was recently retested and failed.

Great book! I recommend it for those that want to wade into the deep end of performance enhancing drugs in sports. It really hammers on Barry Bonds (deservingly, in my opinion), Marion Jones, Gary Sheffield and other track and baseball players.

what a ****ing blow.....

Talk about getting the shaft.

Really? I'd rather see my team with a World Series in the past decade. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Decade, hell. How about the last century? I'd settle for my team just to make it TO the World Series in my lifetime let alone win it! LOL
