Seen last night on Yahoo Sports was this little red flag about Mike Cameron.
Suspended for 25 games for banned stimulant as of Jun 20, 2009
Now, true, he was suspended for two games for bumping an umpire (later reduced to one game) but is there anything else to the story? Is this just a mistake? Or should we just file this under slow sports day? Cameron never struck me as a steroid user because he never had any huge spikes in performance. However, the fact that he’s 36 and has seen no drop off in production is a bit of a red flag, maybe? I don’t care. I’m currently under the assumption that everyone ever is using steroids.

Prob a mistake, but there’s this:

Is there even a 25 game suspension? I thought that your first failed test is a 50 gamer (see Ramirez, Manny)?
This isnt even the first time this fucker has tested positive.
$20 says the yahoo editor puts a strike mark through it and says he was drunk. Any takers?
No such thing as 25 game suspension.
Should have read Nick’s link first, I guess if it isn’t steroids then it is 25 games?
Mike Cameron’s awesome, btw. In hindsight, the Reds shouldn’t have traded him straight up for Griffey. Maybe even in foresight, if they realized how dogshit Griffey’s defense was (even back then).
Throwing in true-roider Bret Boone and a couple org players made it one of the worst trades in my lifetime.
Yes!
If he would have just used the magical eye drops, this never would have happened.
who knew polish sausage and cheese curds were on the banned stimulants list?
/wisconsin’d
fried cheese curds are the fucking bomb. heading to wisco for a week on friday, can’t wait.
i tried cheese curs once and fucking gagged. nasty.
@Ark: Are you headed for something called SummerFest?
I have 5-6 co-workers from UW who say that it’s the tits.
no, i wish, summerfest is the shit, usually a solid line-up of bands.
going to see the fam and stay at the lake for a week, so hard to complain.
Mike Cameron was suspended 25 games last year because he used Amphetamines or as known in baseball circles “Greenies”

I guess the economy is on its way back. Ive had a recruiter call me for 2 jobs in the past week. Problem is Ive been smoking dro for the past week. I need a masking agent what is my best bet?
/We have this conversation once every 3 months but I forgot what you guys told me.
paint thinner, drink a gallon of that and wont ever have any problems with a drug test again
Lets try this again. Does anybody but Mrejr have any suggestions.
Tampa, work out a lot, drink a lot of water, hope for magic pee.
Yes there is. Amphetamines are viewed differently from steroids.
Players who test positive for amphetamines for the first time will be subject to mandatory evaluation and follow-up testing. Subsequent positive tests for amphetamines will carry suspensions of 25 games, 80 games and up to a lifetime ban.

as mentioned before, he has once been suspended for 25 games. looks like the second suspension should be 80 games.
They got those detox drinks at head shops. Those work, Right?
Never tried those, I’d be skeptical.
im telling you paint thinner
I am Skeptical. CBH how long did it take you to get that shit out of your system?
7 days, but thats extremely rare. Everything I was reading was saying 30 days but it also depends on how much and how often you have smoked.
i used one that didn’t work, but i had also smoked a coupel days before. if you can take a week off and then use some of that detox drink stuff it should work. those drinks taste like shit though, but i guess it’s worth it if you pass it.
Ive been smoking on and off for the past 2 months. I have golden seal and niacin. But this dude I know said that there’s a drink that flushes your shit out. Im going to try it and start taking Nacin and drinking Hella water.
Thanks Gonzo.
HAHA
I once had to take a random test because I wrecked a fork lift. I’d smoked 2 days before but still ended up passing. I think it’s cause the lady in HR liked me.
You banged Gladys in HR to keep your job? Nice.
Only Toby works in HR ever since he got back from Costa Rica. Triston’s got some ’splainin to do.
yeah, that job didn’t work out that well.
be careful with that niacin and golden seal stuff. if your piss is too diluted with stuff like that they may not pass you. i don’t think it’s a fail, but it’s inconclusive which brings up red flags all over.
Call your local health store and ask for a detox drink. it tastes like shit. then drink and whole bunch of water and workout. take a centrum before the test so your piss has color
forgot: when you workout use a “sauna suit” (like 20 bucks at walmart).
