    What I find interesting is what the interaction will be between Canseco, McGwire, and Giambi in the courtroom.
    I know its sad. No blood tests as requested by the players. Geez no ****. HGH can only be detected by blood tests and they have the nerve to say this process will work. Unbelievable.

        This Donald Hooton Sr. guy is pretty serious. He called players who use steroids cowards that hide behind the skirts of the players union.

        His son was a steroid user who committed suicide.

            I was more touched by the Garibaldi's story. The mother really got to me with her testimony. Mr. Hooton is quite serious as you said. The statistic about HS football players and steroids just blew me away.

                But what test would that be? There's no test for most of this stuff.

                    Blood Tests are the most effective and the drugs are harder to hide. Its all just a matter of getting the tests done and paying for them(they are quite expensive).

                        Most likely blood and urine tests very similar to what WADA does. (World Anti Doping Agency) WADA is the main body that conducts the testing and research in designer drugs. In fact WADA intercepted a brand new designer drug which was being smuggled across the border. Luckily said drug hasn't gotten out into usage.
