A-Rod will go down as dumbest criminal EVER in sports...Must see video
 

Alex Rodriguez the richest player in baseball is the biggest cheapskate the world has ever seen..and now it's cost him his career, his legacy, and more than 25 mil.

Do you know any millionaires who are the cheapest motherfuckers out of all your friends? I do (one of them is probably reading this, hey bro) But you know the type of dude I'm talking about - that guy that makes sure you buy the next round if he buys you a beer - that guy that wont pay a measly 100 agent fee while he's making 7 figures a year on his site...yea that guy... Well dumb lying cheating motherfucking A-Rod is now going down in flames for doping because he's too much of a tight wad to pay a guy a decent sum of money to keep his mouth shut...instead he sends henchmen and death threats...what a tight fucking goon.

The sums of money he was paying his performance enhancing drug mastermind (a brilliant guy with regards to doping) are a joke - pocket change for A-Rod - and once the guy gets caught he offers him 25k per month to go hide in Colombia (easy hit there) hahaha 25K while A-Rod makes more than 2 Million per month???

A-Rod deserves a lifetime ban..welcome to the hall of shame asshole.

I watch the story on 60 Minutes last night and was speechless ……..

Yeah its just crazy, guy is making all that money and still isn't happy, he wants to make a name for himself too.

Craziness.

i know i couldn't live off a measly 25k a month in columbia... wait..

some people

Never snitch:2 cents:

how about never let tv shows or movies influence your legal decisions?

Yeah, that one makes more sense.

if he had gone to colombia he would have disappeared into the jungle permanently

the wait part...oh yea obvious set up to be offed :helpme

Sad day for baseball.

You would think if you were going to do something like that and dope you would do whatever it took to keep it covered up and make sure nobody found out. If there is one thing to not be cheap about it is that.

I also don't understand why some of these players do all this themselves instead of having a third party get the dope for them then using it at home.

Has he ever tested positive?

No. But the regime he was on was timed to pass any post game testing.

If you have a half hour and are/were a baseball fan the 60 Minutes interview is worth watching.

.

I'm not a fan of baseball, and I think arod is a pompous prick. Having said all that, he never tested positive, and they suspended him for a year and he lost 25 mill.

Seems fair. :Oh crap

Taking PEDs is a criminal act?

There are numerous banned substances in baseball. The league now has a police with them. If you get caught taking them you get suspended. The number of games depends on the number of times you get caught.

Who the fuck cares? MLB is about ballz getting hit into the stands. When that occurs, everyone makes money.. Bud Selig knows it.

I think that is why they turned a blind eye to it for so long, but then suddenly people started breaking all these old, sacred records and baseball purest started questioning what was going on. As baseball writers started looking in doping the league was forced into action.

Yeah that's true, but it is still not a criminal act. It's just against MLB rules. They can't put AROD in jail for what he did.

True. But they can suspend him to the tune of 25 million a year.

The issus comes down to fairness and the problems non-cheaters face trying to stay competitive. If you had a son that was a college standout about to sign a pro contract how would you feel if he had to start a regime of drug taking to make it in his new profession?

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

This is the big deal in all of this.

If they league no longer cared and just let the players do as they wish there will be a number of guys who would roid up and cash in. Those that chose not too may not be able to compete on the same level so the choice they would have to make is take the dangerous drugs that could cause them serious side effects down the road, or no longer play.

I kinda see what you're saying but I see it as just like aluminum bats, step up to the bigs and you use wooden bats. USA is a nation of pill poppers, nothing wrong with gh or test etc, it's prescribed to millions every year with no problemo. Remove the ban and have the shit prescribed and monitored by physicians, just like anti-depressants, adhd drugs, amphetimines, etc.

re: a-hole, I watched that 60 minutes segment, it was good, I dislike a-rod just as much as the next guy but I think it's a stretch to claim that he went from taking test and hormones to creating an elaborate ruse to wisk the biogenesis guy off to columbia so he can have him murdered.

25K/month is very generous. Even if you are millionaire 25k/month is 25k/month.

Then again playing baseball isn't an "right" ... Play by established rules or become a janitor somewhere which is only what most are qualified to do.


.

You suggest that 25k is a joke offering. Why would he offer joke offering if he was going to arrange his death? Offer HUGE money in that case so that he would be more tempted.

Exactly. My point wasn't regarding breaking rules, he broke some and is not allowed to play for a season, big whoop really.

My point is as Lichen pointed out, the realization that baseball is big bucks because fans want to see dingers. That's why a-rod is payed the big bucks, not because of his glove, but because of his bat. I'm all for removing the ban on many *performance enhancing* drugs. Most are perfectly legal when prescribed by an authorized physician.

Want to be a member of the 800 dingers club? Well, that takes a lot more than rubbing some test on and a lozenge pre-game. :)

And you draw the line where? He was exciting as shit but again, where do you draw the line?

For those that aren't baseball fans, Barry Bonds before/after.

certainly after. I was attending school in the bay area when the giants snagged bonds from the pirates, the excitement he brought to the team and the city was palpable.

I'm simply being realistic. We the fans are demanding more and more from our athletes. the medicine is there to help them perform, if they want to be the elite of the most elite, and we want them to be also, then let them have the option of taking legal drugs. And let's face it, only the elite get to play professional sports anyway, performance enhancing drugs only give the elite a minor benefit over their already elite status.

So you pick after and every young male in high school and college trying to be like Barry is given the green light to load up on roids?

And "legal" will have so many gray areas and new variants that it won't even make sense. Also MLB doesn't want the billion dollar future lawsuits that a legal drugs side affects might prove unhealthy decades later.

MLB is run by old rich white guys so policy will reflect their beliefs and standards. Never forget that it's a small club.

it's irrelevant whether it's allowed or not allowed people will still take juice eitherway , people still dodge and pass the tests and those who choose not to take more to level up will be at the disadvantage just like they are now.

there's no way steroids are ever leaving sports.

Major League Baseball as a company probably doesn't give a shit they want athletes from a business standpoint to be juiced up and performing better and better all they need to do is have a few scapegoats like a rod and they look like they're taking care of it

They already are, hell, they were when you & I was in hs.

Moreover, I watched a story on the local news about high schoolers and those ciggarette vaporizers, smokeless cigs, and how they are abusing them. Can't ban everything because some kids in high school are dolts. 16 year olds behind the wheel with 4 friends in the car = a statistically guaranteed major accident. HIgh schoolers would drink pine-sol if they heard through the rumor mill it gave them something extra, whatever that may be.

Their primary concern is money, if some fancy mathmatician crunched the #s and showed them an increase in profits if they removed the ban on these drugs, well, you know, ban lifted.

That reminds me of Ray Lewis, dude tore his triceps and was back playing nfl level football in <12 weeks, 1/2 the time of a typical recovery of a pro athlete with that injury. And si had the big story on him using illegal drugs in his recovery, deer antler shit or something. Problem was that particular drug requires a blood test for proof, not a piss test, the league doesn't do blood checks. So they really aren't concerned about it as an issue.

Ray went on to play in the Super Bowl that year and was lauded with accolades.

I just watched the 60 minutes piece. It is pretty interesting and I have to admit I was laughing at the beginning when the spot was sponsored by Viagra.

Professional sports are all run by the mafia anyway.

It's just legalized gambling and money laundering for them. The players are just pawns in their global game and all replaceable.

Damn, so many dark schemes in the world of sports, it's crazy.

Yes, the Gambinos are running the show. :eek7:eek7
