DEA: The Angels were aware of Tyler Skaggs' drug habit

[Trojan 24]

Think about how Straw, Doc, and a lot of the black players from the Pittsburgh Drug Trials were treated and how they had to clean up the game.

Think about how steroids wasn’t a problem until Barry started using them and then they had to clean up the game.

Now look at this shyt. This isn’t even the first one. It won’t be the last. They know a high percentage (5-10%) of their white players are hooked on opioids. There won’t be any cleaning of the game. They are going to continue handing average dope fiends millions until a black or brown player ODs and then they’ll clean it up because their mostly white consumer base demands it.

Sosa not black?

Look up the Mitchell Report (2006) and why baseball didn’t begin testing for steroids until 2003 after 22 years of it being a banned substance.

First off don't make the Mitchell Report about race. Bonds was one of the 3 main defendants(Giambi, Sheffield) and the biggest name in the Balco Investigation. Ask yourself how much Steroid allegations destroyed Mcguire, Clemens and Palmero.

Think about how Straw, Doc, and a lot of the black players from the Pittsburgh Drug Trials were treated and how they had to clean up the game.

Are you really about to compare opiods/pills to crack and coke breh. You're reaching again. Besides, Doc despite all his shyt got to come back along with Strawberry and wasn't black listed.

I knew this story was going to take a turn. Soon as dude died I knew something was fishy and being covered up

Let's be frank, this is only being brought up because he OD'd. No team is willingly reporting any drug use from a player or making rehab mandatory unless they fail a test.

Welp it’s about to get ugly for my favorite baseball team

They about to look up your skirts real good

If baseball players are using opioids like crazy and that sport is mostly just standing around then you know football players are damn near drowning in them

It’s ironic that football players would rather smoke weed then use opioids and painkillers but weed is the one banned

 

[Dorian Breh]

It’s racist that football players would rather smoke weed then use opioids and painkillers but weed is the one banned

Fixed that for you

Besides being racist that NFL and NBA players get tested while MLB players clearly do not

It's also all of the money big pharma pushes in to turn injured professional athletes into dope fiends

:Cacpls2:
But football players have said all you have to do is pass the test one time during the summer then you’re straight. I guess some are in so much pain they just say fukk it

baseball and drugs are quite fond of one another

snorted 3 lines of oxy before he died

Sosa not black?

Why don’t you ask him?

 

[FaTaL]

snorted 3 lines of oxy before he died

Isn’t that normal?

Baseball had always tested for it. They were very lax about the punishment for it and what they tested for. The stuff McGwire took in ‘98 wasn’t even punishable because it wasn’t considered a banned substance. Before they’d just issue you a warning and keep it on the low. Now they drop the hammer. Steroid suspicion in the sport predated Bonds.

Why do some of yall come on this site and just outright lie, it is disgusting and destroys any argument you make everybody knows baseball didn't start testing for steroids until 2003 or 2004 after they did the secret test too see if it was a problem in the league, like it was banned substance but wasn't enforced at all

A timeline of steroids in baseball – The Denver Post

Please they didn't start testing to Bonds, and steroids wasn't a problem to Bonds and BALCO and Bonds nasty attitude to the media gave the something to get at him about...too bad Clemons and Pettitie got caught with stray AK 47 in their process of trying to take down Bonds
