What would you do? (Tejada)
« on: February 11, 2009, 07:12:59 AM »

Put yourself in his shoes.

You used AAS several years ago and lied about it to the Feds when they questioned you under oath about it.

Had you told the truth, probably nothing  happens (Giambi), but since you lied, they build a case against you and now you are forced to plea bargain just to save your ass, spending a year in jail in the process.

Was it worth it for the numbers and the money?

Not only to have your accomplishments tainted but to be blacklisted from baseball all because you simply couldn't tell the truth to the Feds?

They don't ask you "if" you used AAS unless they have strong evidence that you did.

Some of these athletes are so stupid.

I'm focusing on Tejada because there was no evidence that he used and I don't think he needed them given his natural ability, but now we don't know how many of those HR's were aided by AAS, and for a SS it's rare to jack HR's like he and A-Rod do.

I was literally in disbelief this morning when I saw the report on ESPN, because this shit is getting out of hand and it's going to continue to trickle down to the end user.....

I feel bad for Tejada, but I also think he now bears the responsibility of having to hold his head in shame......not for using AAS, but for lying and losing his cred in the process.

Sad.  :-\

i think every member of "congress" or any committee "investigating" this bullshit should have to go on a cycle of test to realize that it's no big fuccking deal, it's not gonna turn you into the Incredible Hulk overnight. ::)

I have Erubiel Durazo's jersey from when he was there.

I wonder why he never made it there.

He hit HR's for the D-backs.......he just couldn't play defense at 1st base.

Tejada lies to congress= maybe jail time, probation

congress lies to the people= jack shit

our priorities in America are fucked up to say the least...A man where I live just killed a family in a head on collision because he was driving on the wrong side of the highway and was drunk and by the way this is his 4th DWI now there is a little girl that survived the crash and has no family but yet where going after these guys on steroids cuz there killing people.

But what would I do just tell the truth and be done with it...the lies just dig you in bigger holes look at Clemens he truely believes he hasn't done anything when the evidence has just plied up on him and he just looks stupid.  Everyone has not forgot Giambi or Petite but there stories are a non issue.  Thank God for Favre's retirement because I am sick of seeing A-Frauds face and his story is bullshit also "I don't exactly know what I was taking" give me a break these guys know exactly what there doing.

I got in a agruement with my in-laws about this on super bowl sunday and they believe it makes athletes...it doesn't AAS don't give you the God given ability to hit a 95mph fastball ...162 games a year,  on the road sleeping in hotels on air planes, day games after night games, eating like shit sometimes.  They are millionaires but they are humans and that will where you down not including nagging injuries.  It has prolonged players career and gave them the recovery time to play at a high level night after night.

well many kids look up to these athletes and if the kids are aspiring to be something that is chemically enhanced, that is not good.  Since they are role models they need to act like them.

It's just a case of an All-American beef.

If "they" want to get you, they'll find a way to get you.

Otherwise ALL of these guys would be getting jail time.

Gotta agree. The average american would be worried about prison time. These guys are only worried about their image.

Average american might lose his job, Arod has 250 million contract locked in place, hell would freeze before he was fired.

Part of the shit you take to live in this country and be working class

I'd hate to be A-Rod and be rich and miserable.......

He's hated in NY.....

He's now known as a AAS user....

His records are all tainted.

At some point you have to ask yourself about the "quality of life" trade-off and I'm sorry but no amount of money is worth your dignity and pride.

Once you sell your soul, there's no turning back and that is a much different type of "Darkside".

That type of "Darkside" is something that stains your soul.......your legacy.   :-X

Your right about one thing....he's rich! But A-rod isn't miserable. 8)

He's to into himself and blind of anything outside his world.....to be miserable. He's made hundreds of millions of dollars playing a game he loves....that's right a game!!!  :D

Im prett sure A-rod is able to sleep at night ;)

Now Bonds and clemens.....that's another story.....their records are tainted plus they have the added stress of court cases and a big question mark about their future! Now that's miseralbe. ;)

A-Rod has publicly stated that he sees a Psychiatrist, bro.

That alone should tell you something about the man and his sense of things.

Sure he has money, but to quote Tupac "currency means nothing if you still ain't free.  Money breeds jealousy, take the game from me".....

Money will not free your mind nor make you completely happy and if you think it will you will be consumed by it...

The simple things are what make up your life.

You should have learned this by your late twenties, hopefully by your early thirties...   :-X

I never felt bad for using AAS.

It's not a moral decision and has no implications on my soul.

AAS help me maintain my strength levels and recover faster than most.
