Oziumrules 0 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Manny said he went to a doctor last month for a "personal issue" and was given a medication that triggered a positive test. He said it wasnt a steroid or PHD. Link to post Share on other sites

PMJackson21 0 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Manny said he went to a doctor last month for a "personal issue" and was given a medication that triggered a positive test. He said it wasnt a steroid or PHD.Whatever, if that is the case he should be appealing it. GG easy season (West is bad enough and they have a head start), but I guess Manny will be well rested for the 2nd half...Pretty sure I'm going to need to change avatars though, Stars better not give me any shit. I need to find a good pic of Andre now lol.Sigh, ruined my day to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites

Flushgarden 0 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Ok, it's for erectile dysfunction.http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ys-r...o&type=lgnsCould this help him play baseball any better? lol I don't see how he deserves any suspension. His reputation is ruined because the world now thinks he's been on steroids his whole career. I feel bad for him. Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 He's one of the few players who I give the benefit of the doubt. The man does not need steroids, and it sounds like there's a decent chance it is a false positive. Or that it was a true positive but the substance was prescribed by a doctor for non-baseball-related activities, in which case I don't see how they could suspend him (hopefully for Manny's sake it was an American doctor). Edit: Okay so I actually decided to read the articles at least partially, and it seems the drug is used "primarily" for men whose balls stopped working because of previous steroid use. Say it ain't so Manny!!! (Thank you for not being on the Red Sox right now.)And PMJ, Stars will totally let you change your picture. For a player like you they'd let you change it every week I bet .

rcgs59 15 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 the sad part of this is that baseball has considered PHD banned substances. Any males with any PE or EDD problems should know that treatment medication wise are Hormone based or HCG. Being hormone based includes testosterone which is banned even in the Olympics. How could he not ask his doctor these type of questions. Being in sports with strick drug restrictions. Better yet the team doctor would for sure know this and not prescribe such a substance. Was he not up front with the Team physican. Risking this or not being honest with his team physican is a bigger question. Why didn't he seek a specialist in that area in with a sports medicine consult. He has the money for that. I know it's a matter of pride with the ladies as well but use common sense. Medicine has moved a long way since the dark ages but honesty has to go with it. In other words he knew what he was taking. Link to post Share on other sites
El Guapo 8 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I don't understand the Major League Drug policy. I used to write drug policies for corporations. And if someone tested positive for a prescribed drug, as long as their was a valid reason someone used that drug it was ok. The most common one was amphetamines, in cold medication.Why does the MLB not recognize a prescription? Link to post Share on other sites

The most common one was amphetamines, in cold medication.Why does the MLB not recognize a prescription? It does, but they have to approve the prescription in advance of using it.For example, the year MLB banned amphetamines they got a flood of guys suddenly needing a prescription for their newly diagnosed attention deficit disorder. Just a coincidence I'm sure, but since these guys had a legit prescription they are allowed to use those drugs.I'm going to go way out on a limb here and guess Manny didn't get permission because it was being used as a masking agent. Just a hunch. Link to post Share on other sites
