Open it wide! And, yea...I want to open that door! Open it wide! And, yeah, you need to have a really good excuse for why you legitimately need increased testosterone. As my brother said, unless the medical condition is a lack of homerun power, there's really few things you need to take these drugs for.Fernando Alejandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051242696406856273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-81681303747982407492011-12-19T10:50:58.135-08:002011-12-19T10:50:58.135-08:00I didn't know that about Romero, that's fa...I didn't know that about Romero, that's fascinating. There must be a cottage industry in sports medicine of doctors reviewing everything a player takes to see if it will cause a failed test.<br /><br />We've yet to see if Braun will use "private medical issue" as his story (probably not - it's a bad excuse, even if it's true, since failing a drug test is a strict liability offense), but I imagine that the list of medical conditions that require drugs that will fail a test, but still permit a player to turn in an MVP season is very short. And if the story that Braun's test revealed "insanely high" amounts of testosterone is true, I doubt he failed the test for taking Ny-Quil. Plus, whatever was in his system was out when he submitted a second test, so he wasn't taking something for a chronic condition. So we should soon learn if there's any possible validity to this story.<br /><br />Braun won't lose his MVP even if he tested positive for a special combination of steroids, HGH and unicorn blood that gives you the strength of ten gorillas. No one wants to open the door to reviewing each year's major awards and deciding whether they should be given to someone else because the winner cheated.Rich Mahoganyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078545531672950308noreply@blogger.com
