yeah - that made me happy as well. I am so disappointed that the lakers look better then I thought they would, but they are already starting to show the wear and tear of the season so let's see how long that lasts.

I feel confident in saying that wiggs will never test positive for hgh. Weed is a different story.

LOL - lips guy accidentally took HGH - why do they always say that? Are they buying their supplements in China?

[AbeVigodaLive]

They have to say that. At least they're not blaming others (lying) like that clown Ryan Braun did.

Interesting though that it's the 2nd prominent young big to get busted. Something must have changed in what they're taking... or the testing itself?

Because usually only the Don McLeans of the world get busted.

They need to use LeBrons guy, from Miami.

John Collins said he has always been extremely careful about what he puts in his body. I give guys the benefit of the doubt on some of this stuff but I'm not buying he was EXTREMELY cautious and then he got busted. I'm glad they don't test me for donuts since I claim to be extremely cautious about what I put in my body. I mean I do only eat donuts with the fruit filling.

Darius Garland is off to a horrible start. His Field Goal % and 3 PT FG% are worse than Culver's.

At least they're testing and catching people now. Remember when NBA players and analysts used to say that steroids weren't a problem in the NBA because of the nature of athleticism required for the sport? As if running faster and jumping higher wouldn't be an advantage for a basketball player. Hockey people used to say the same thing too and their testing protocols are a joke. To think that steroids are only a problem in baseball is crazy.

I think blood packing would be a much bigger thing in BB considering the grind of it all. If a person did it right, they could store up enough of their own rested and chuck full of red blood cell blood for each game day and it would never be detected.
