    What ever happened to steroids?

    Is it just me or did MLB stop steroid testing? Haven't heard of any suspensions in months. ALso what happened to that investigation the MLB was conducting on Barry Bonds? Everyone said it was a sham, but Selig insisted it would be legit. Well it's been a whole summer and nothing.

    Well, maybe no names are dropping because the testing is actually working. Working in the sense that the old designer steroids have become obsolete and new untestable steroids are likely already on the market, at least.

    Tom Verducci had a small column in this week's SI about the investigation where he said that the questions asked of trainers and the like were very generic and not likely to produce any new or relevent information. No one really knows when it will be complete or when we will know any information, but the chances of anything important coming about are quite slim.

      Steroids have just kind of disappeared haven't they?

      What's even more interesting with me is how the whole NFL steroid scandal disappeared quickly. It had only a few passing mentions on ESPN and it has seemed to disappeared.

      I'd rather hear about trying to clean up the game, both the NFL and the MLB, than about A-Rod struggling or Terrell Owens again.

        True, the whole Carolina Panther thing got swept under the rug.

          Yeah, it's sick how that entire thing just got a passing mention and that was it. Amazing how a scandal surrounding a Super Bowl team can go essentially unnoticed in this day and time.

            It did but there was a story recently...

            As for the MLB thing...Yeah it has been swept under the rug. I blame some of this on the public at large who really don't give a damn about the story. This means there's no public outcry to get collumnists to write pieces that would get huge publicity. It's kinda sad when the media types won't pursue a story because of the lack of public popularity to do so.

                Yeah but MLB decided to give Clemens the MJ suspension. Every commish gets 1.

                      Go back far enough in this forum and there was supposed to be one released about a year ago. Im still waiting.

                        The MLB did all the tests: They are just stuck.

                        They saw the results, and realized that a great majority of their league was juiced, not just Bonds. They're currently in the process of thinking up a believable story that they can tell us through ESPN.
