The parents of Efran Marrero, a high school baseball player who committed suicide after the use of anabolic steroids, provided testimony at the congressional hearing entitled “The Mitchell Report: The Illegal Use of Steroids in Major League Baseball.” Three and half weeks after he quit using steroids “cold turkey” my son took his own life […]

Therapeutic Use Exemptions for Amphetamines in Major League Baseball
The congressional hearing entitled “The Mitchell Report: The Illegal Use of Steroids in Major League Baseball” is underway right now. I have previously discussed the loophole offered by therapeutic use exemptions that allow professional athletes to use performance enhancing drugs, including steroids, growth hormone and/or testosterone. The number of therapeutic use exemptions or TUEs were not […]
Misconception that Anabolic Steroids “Enhance Looks, Strength and Speed”
I regularly read the coverage of the Signature Pharmacy steroid distribution investigation by journalist Brendan Lyons of the Albany Times Union. This is primarily because he seems to have the best access to information related to the investigation since it is an Albany-based investigation initiated by District Attorney David Soares. However, articles are not very […]
American Gladiators Tested for Anabolic Steroids
The current cast of the American Gladiators television show agreed to be tested for anabolic steroids at any time by the shows producers at NBC. According to the Broadcast & Cable website, they were required to sign a statement that they did not use steroids as part of their employment contract. The anti-steroid clause was […]
Model Janice Dickinson Claim Sylvester Stallone Used Steroids
Model Janice Dickinson said that she regularly witnessed Sylvester Stallone using anabolic steroids. Not only that, but she also claims he gave her steroids too. I’d wake up and my arm was as big as Popeye – steroids, testosterone, all that stuff. Of course, all anabolic steroid users know that is how steroids work – you […]
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Steroid Use in 2008
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is once again going to be confronted with his own admitted use of anabolic steroids as a former professional bodybuilder with his promotion of the 2008 Arnold Classic Bodybuilding contest in Columbus next month. This has become an annual ritual with the steroid-addicted media and it is sure to continue as long […]
Roger Clemens and Lidocaine
I am shocked at the misinformation regarding lidocaine that has circulated the media news sites and blogosphere as it relates to major league baseball player Roger Clemens. The addition of lidocaine to a B-12 injection didn’t seem unusual to me or even in need of an explanation. I didn’t think I need bother to comment upon […]
Hypocrisy of Roger Clemens
Roger Clemens attorney should be fired. Obviously, attorney Rusty Hardin must have devised the strategy used by Roger Clemens in his interview with Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes tonight. Brian McNamee’s attorney, Richard Emery, was spot on when he identified the likely legal strategy: I think that this is a lawyers’ game, which allows him […]
Proof that Roger Clemens Did Not Use Steroids
The regular denials by athletes accused of using anabolic steroids and growth hormone has become relatively commonplace and quite boring. So, I didn’t expect much from Mike Wallace’s 60 Minutes interview of baseball player Roger Clemens (who was accused by trainer Brian McNamee of using testosterone and growth hormone in the Mitchell Report). But I […]
Roger Clemens Will Be Crucified in the Media
The Roger Clemens interview with Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes will turn out to be a disaster for Clemens. Attorney Rusty Hardin should be fired for advising him and speaking out for him in the press. Hardin told the press recently that Clemens received multiple injections throughout his career. He even compared the use of, […]
