...anything? The suspicion continues to hang above them all, especially Bonds, and the whole affair is a shame, a shame on the game that Bud Selig allowed to happen by willfully looking away as balls flew and gate receipts soared. Please remember: When McGwire was found to be taking Andro in his big, big year, it wasn't illicit. Then Major League Baseball "studied" Andro in the off-season very quietly, one January or February day, Commissioner Selig announced that the investigation was "inconclusive." I.e.: Andro was okay, and McGwire's record was in no way tainted. Selig thought...
...legislators all but scorned baseball executives' attempts to defend their drug policy. Commissioner Bud Selig, looking at times pained, at times as if he just lost his dog, claimed he didn't become concerned about baseball's steroid problem until the hulking McGwire admitted he took androstenedione in 1998 (andro was legal in baseball at the time). "No manager, no general manager, nobody ever came to me in the '90s," said Selig. At best, it showed big-league naiveté, since those drugs were clearly baseball's dirty little secret in the 1990s. Said Massachusetts Representative Steven Lynch, a Democrat...
Gene-based compounds will be much harder to track than a synthetic steroid like andro or a stimulant like ephedrine. That's because compounds delivered directly to muscle generally remain corralled there, rarely reaching the bloodstream or urine, where they could be traced. Though genetic treatments are not yet out of the lab, WADA has enlisted the help of researchers who have provided them with ideas for identifying competitors taking advantage of the new therapies. (Here's a hint: start with the record breakers.) "I don't think anyone will be competing in Athens with genetic enhancement," says...
...does an end-zone dance). But besides the self-effacing title, the show is at heart about self-flagellation. When Knoxville becomes a human "poo cocktail" in the inverted portable toilet, the joke is that someone would want to do this to himself. Likewise, Comedy Central's paleo-andro variety series The Man Show treats women as sex objects--they jump half-naked on trampolines in its closing credits--while implying that men are morons...
...when they are small--that they don't have to look like these characters." Pope, himself an avid weight lifter, says parents should also educate themselves and their sons on the uses and dangers of supplements such as adrenal hormones. "Any kid can go into a store and buy 'andro' [formerly Mark McGwire's bulk-up drug, androstenedione] legally," he says, "but we still don't know what long-term use will do to a boy's health." Pope believes that up to 15% of high school boys use andro, often in dangerous megadoses. A large percentage will then move...
