I have been thinking about all the arguments about who did and who didn't do steroids and it occurs to me that there is a way to test for it that is not being done now. Currently MLB does a urination test where things can pass from your body given a certain amount of time, and as many of our pot smoking people can tell you there are tons of masking agents. However, if you take a hair sample, it will conclusively tell you what each person has put in their body for as long as that hair has been around. Each day your body's hair grows a bit and whatever you put into your body during that day microscopic pieces of it are in the hair. Now, I know Barroid has a shaved head, but any body hair will do. So, the biggest problem is that MLB has let it go on too long and they are still not cracking down as hard as they could. IMHO. DD
I've always felt that Barroid's stats should be completely erased out of the record books. Because we cannot effecitively quanitfy the stats he garnered while on the juice and it'll show the rest of the league that The commish means business. But Selig's a chump and MLB's a joke.
That's easy to evade. Just shave your entire body everyday Drug testing like that is expensive as hell though, not like it matters to the mlb. But you would need player union's approval, which would be unlikelky
because... he's a cheater? and half his homeruns were hit on steroids? trust me, i have all the proof. my team of attorney's merely needs to put it all together.
Blood testing would be just as effective, and you wouldn't have to worry about people shaving their bodies. But as has been pointed out, neither the player's union nor MLB itself cares to even consider pursuing different testing. As stringent as testing is right now is probably as stringent as it will be for a long time
The allegations of Barry on steroids is bollocks. Its kind of like when Bush II said Iraq had WMD's and most people believed it. It looked like Iraq had WMD's, but in the end they did not. Same situation here. History has weird way of repeating itself.
Don't forget, we're throwing out everything before integration too. We might as well just take the record books and have a bonfire.
