    All supplements do is increase the results of the work you put in the gym.

    You can take Peds till the cows come home but if you dont hit the gym and train hard you wont see any results.

    I dont have a problem with Athlete's wanting to get a better return on the time the invest working out. Especially if it helps extend a player's career.

    What I do have a problem with is when people try and take Peds on there own and dont do the research or get the supervision they need to take the safely.

    Thats like giving some one the keys to a car and telling them to go drive with out ever giving them the proper training.

    can anyone post the NBA's drug policy related to PED usage, ?

    Baseball's credibility was destroyed by PEDs, I had a feeling that a PED scandal in NBA would be out anytime now........


    Atleast no one is blaming Stern yet

    Nothing sticks to him anyway. He should have been in the unemployment line after the Donaghy scandal. Instead, he sidesteps a firestorm that would have killed the reputation of any other commissioner and somehow walks away looking squeaky clean when we all know things are still not right with NBA officiating.

    I joke when I say the guy is connected way up in the federal government but the longer he sticks around and manages to take all the credit for the good things in the league and none of the blame (or criminal charges) for the bad stuff it makes me wonder it he really does have some juice with the feds.

    PEDs could be running wild in the NBA just like baseball and it still wouldn't be as big a problem as the officials. With the officials fans feel that the league influences games for one team or the other, with PEDs at least everyone is cheating so it's a level playing field.

    I don't think Stern should have been fired over the Donaghy case. Stern's actions after the scandal are what should have gotten him fired: He promised the fans transparency into the world of NBA officiating and nothing has come about. There was some lame investigation the league conducted and the officiating is as bad as ever.
