No. They will be tested again in the future, but testing "before" they are
allowed to play doesn't make any sense, because steroids can stay in ones
system for months. Whatever use caused him to test positive before would
trigger a positive result again.

OK
Let him stay out until he tests positive

No, the price you pay is a 10 game (day?) suspension. That's the agreed
upon penalty in the CBA.

No; the price he pays is a ten day suspension. That's what was agreed to.

Yeah, but I don't care about what they agreed to. The State of Maryland
should have him arrested for trafficing in a controlled substance and let
him sit in jail for a few years.

Riiiight. Maryland will become so much safer once that notorious drug
lord Palmeiro is off the streets. Little black kids and little white
kids won't get into turf fights once Raffy "Tony Montana" Palmeiro is
behind bars. Jesus.
You know, honestly, the way this board has lit up since Palmeiro was
suspended has really pissed me off. The vitrol being spewed at a guy
for testing positive for a banned substance is stunning. We have a
community in Ohio mourning over the loss of their sons in Iraq, either
a White House advisor or a former CNN journalist who might have outed a
CIA operative, and all these folks want to talk about is whether a 40
year old guy should be banned from the Hall of Fame for using steroids.
Steroids were NOT illegal in baseball until recently. They have been
around in various forms since the 1930s, and have been used commonly to
increase athletic performance since the 1950s. There's a very good
chance that some of the baseball heros of the `50s and `60s were just
as drugged out as an East German weightlifter. Even if Palmeiro was
taking steroids during the course of his entire 20 year career, he
wasn't doing ANYTHING illegal as far as baseball is concerned until
this year's test. Ex post facto, perhaps?
He made a mistake; he's paying for it. If he did in fact lie in front
of Congress, he'll pay for that, too. Personally, I don't think they
should bother investigating baseball until they can figure out what
when on with Valerie Plame, but, since when have politicians ever put
values in front of a good story?
If lying in front of Congress is all you new posters are mad about,
where were you on the Clinton impeachment? How about those WMDs? Or, is
baseball more important to you than a war?

Your personal views aside, the use and trafficing in a controlled
substance is a felony, even in Maryland. Lets not pretend that this is
not a criminal matter. And BTW, there is good reason why these drugs are
illegal and CII controlled narcotics under the law.

What are you saying? Your saying that Baseball is in an alternate
universe and doesn't need to conform to the law like the rest of the world.
If ballplayers want to rape groupies, Hey - its not "illegal" in baseball.
This is a bullshit argument.

Because they're dangerous, and addicting as substaneated in previous
quoted works, including repeated artciled accross the entire spectrum of
medical journals. So who give a fuck what you think AMA may have once
said. The medical evidence stands on its own.
But by all means, good look having them removed from CII status!

The AMA has little to do with policing peer review articles on medicine
(thank god). There membrship, has been busted repeatedly for taking
bribes and kickbacks for misrepresenting data and in ordering practices
or drug. But they are not the healthcare publishering police.

"The U.S. Senate on Oct. 6 passed legislation to ban over-the-counter
sales of dietary supplements containing anabolic steroids, drawing
praise from the AMA.
The Anabolic Steroid Control Act (S. 2195) is an important step toward
a nationwide ban, but must first be reconciled with the House version
(H.R. 3866) before it can be signed into law.
"Increasing numbers of Americans, particularly young athletes, are
placing themselves at risk for serious health problems from the use of
anabolic steroids, particularly through use of over-the-counter dietary
supplements," said AMA Trustee Ronald M. Davis, MD. "These health risks
have irreversible, toxic effects - including death."
Provisions of S. 2195 include adding 18 substances to the list of
banned anabolic steroids, providing $15 million toward educating
children about the dangers of steroids and increasing criminal
penalties for those caught selling the supplements.
"Physicians, parents, educators and legislators must do everything in
their power to stem the tide of anabolic steroid use," Dr. Davis
continued. "Education and legislation are needed to stop this abuse and
protect our high school students, and others, from the dangers of
anabolic steroids."
A) NEOPLASM
* 1) Fatal hepatomas, adenocarcinoma of the prostate and sigmoid
colon, Wilms tumour, hepatic angiosarcoma, and acute myeloid leukemia
have been reported in patients and athletes taking anabolic steroids.
Linkage between malignancies and abuse of anabolic steroids has not
been clearly established (Overly et al, 1984; Graham & Kennedy, 1990).

Great. So all Maryland would have to do is prove that Palmeiro used or
trafficked in a controlled substance. In the state of Maryland. Good luck
with that one.

Yeah -- otherwise federal bureaucrats might have to get real jobs instead of
leeching off taxpayers.
It's unusual on usenet for someone asked to provide evidence to actually do
so. It's even more unusual that when asked to provide evidence, someone
provides evidence... that actually contradicts their claim.
Please read the last sentence of your citation.
Read the entire original article. The carcenogenic effects of steroids is
very established, and not all original works show a corellation. That's
why assays really suck and one much read the whole article, which includes
the context and raw data.

No. He's saying that baseball -- like the rest of the world -- doesn't need
to enforce the law. When the legislature passes moronic laws, police are
obligated to enforce those laws and courts are obligated to adjudicate cases
of those accused of breaking those laws. Private citizens and entities such
as MLB are not obligated to punish people accused of violating those laws.
> If ballplayers want to rape groupies, Hey - its not "illegal" in baseball.
Correct.
> This is a bullshit argument.
Your failure to understand an argument does not make it "bullshit."
An employer is not required to fire or discipline employees that break the
law. Employers have a set of rules which may or may not be coterminous with
the legal code. If you violate those rules, you are disciplined by your
employer. It works the other way, as well: employers are entitled to
discipline you for breaking a rule even if the behavior is permitted under
the law. No law requires you to wear a suit to work, but an employer is
free to fire you for not doing so.

Well, you know, this just happens to be a *baseball* newsgroup. So,
it shouldn't be all that surprising when people get all involved about
baseball-related topics. Honestly, it seems pretty bizarre that
someone would get pissed off about baseball fans discussing baseball
in a baseball discussion group.
That's a pretty big oversimplification of the facts. Firstly, is
there any evidence of any kind whatsoever that Palmiero was doing
anything more than using the Steriod? Is there any evidence as to the
amount that he had in his possession? Is any quantity of the product
considered to only be a misdemeanor?
In Maryland, for example, possesson and use is only a misdemeanor.
(One with a pretty hefty amount of jail time (up to one year and a
thousand dollars... but still just a misdemeanor. Sale and
cultivation are, of course, a different story. And of course we do not
know which jurisdiction the Steroids were used in. He could have
legally used them outside the United States and had the impact of them
shown up in the US. That would not be an "illegal" use of Steroids,
merely one in violation of the rules of baseball.
Since this crime has also occured over state lines, it is likely that
the FBI might need to get involved as well.
If congress and the government is serious about shutting down the
steroid ring in baseball, it won't really take much. A few serious
prosecutions and investigations which affect the balence sheet on the
owners will speed things up real fast.

Do you know which substance Palmiero tested positive for, and if so, is
it merely a substance banned by MLB or one which is actually illegal?
Also, steroids are not narcotics. Look it up. They are in two distinctly
different classes of drugs.
There could be bovine growth hormone in the beef, which is a steroid. :)
I guess it is possible he could be using a designer steroid, but I
doubt it.

it.

"Before arguing again that the AMA agrees with you, please read this:
See, http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/13782.html.
"The U.S. Senate on Oct. 6 passed legislation to ban over-the-counter
sales of dietary supplements containing anabolic steroids, drawing
praise from the AMA.
The Anabolic Steroid Control Act (S. 2195) is an important step toward
a nationwide ban, but must first be reconciled with the House version
(H.R. 3866) before it can be signed into law.
"Increasing numbers of Americans, particularly young athletes, are
placing themselves at risk for serious health problems from the use of
anabolic steroids, particularly through use of over-the-counter dietary
supplements," said AMA Trustee Ronald M. Davis, MD. "These health risks
have irreversible, toxic effects - including death." "
I am assuming you understand the difference between "over the counter"
and prescription medications, and the difference between a prescription
medication and a "controlled substance". As I said before and as David
pointed out, the AMA was not in favor of "scheduling steroids as
controlled substances" back in 1990. Of course they would be in favor
of banning the OTC sale of ANY substance that should only be available
by prescription, controlled substance or not, as they should be.

stanozolol, though the person who provided the newspapers with this
info asked to remain anonymous.
Yes, this is a banned substance under the MLB steroid policy and no, it
is not illegal if you have a prescription.
Raffi must not have had a prescription, because he said that he did not
knowingly take it.

Wow, Ray, there are so many red herrings in there, I hardly know where
to begin. Baseball fans want to talk, and argue, about baseball.
That doesn't mean that we can't talk politics too, but your complaints
here sound silly. Next, you'll be arguing that kindergarten teachers
should be paid the same as left fielders because of the value of the
service they provide to the community.

Congress has a lot of nerve grandstanding about steroids when they
didn't get around to banning ephedrine - a *truly* harmful supplement -
until *after* MLB did. Though, still, no one champions this cause. I
guess it's just not as stylish as the steroids issue.

Good post.
Safe?
Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many
thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions
of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known
perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:
* Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
* Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
* Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically
* life-threatening side-effects.
* DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
* Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
* Contributes to soil erosion.
* Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
* Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
* Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
* Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
* Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere.
* Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino
* weather effect.

Um... no. Steroids are under Scedule III and are not narcotics (the
word "narcotic" comes from Greek & Latin words that mean "sleep" &
"numbness").
