Being a Jays fan I am obviously biased but I believe Collabello when he says he didn't intentionally take a banned substance.

Seems more and more, like the famous tennis player, that new drugs are put on this list that are now deemed as performance enhancing, but I can't help but also think, with what is put in our food/drink nowadays, that some of these steroids also get put in them?

I am all for drug testing and I detest the cheaters to no end, but I also think mistakes are made and/or these are getting into peoples bodies by other means than simply knowingly ingesting them.

when a career indepedent league guy couldn't get a look from an mlb club until his late 20's and was dfa'd by a couple teams suddenly had a great year in his early 30's...i'm gonna go with occam's razor for the explanation. keep digging for what could've caused this colabello like oj is still looking for nicole's murderer.

Damn, I thought this was about the Whitney Houston and daughter deaths.
As I thought the title was referring how Gordon was 'coached' into his statements to the media and live tv. 'insert his tears here' and spouting off at Bobby
My bad, his name was Nick Gordon.

I was very disappointed when Collabello became part of all this. His long trail through to the majors through Independent League Baseball was a feel-good story.

Reminded me of seeing Greg Zaun in the Mitchell Report - After I had seen him 'Call His Shot' in the 1999 Hall-of-Fame Game (Yeah, he actually DID do it!!).

80 games? I haven't kept up with the new guidelines. Does this mean he's been caught before and warned, or is this for 1st time offenses now?

Yeah, a part of me wonders if all the crap they put in livestock nowadays, eventually ends up in our bodies at testable levels.

Not saying that's what happened with these guys, just something I've thought about.

As long as the reward far, far outweighs the risk - this is what you are going to have. 50 million dollars will pay for a lot of shame.

Well, I do put a lot of livestock in my body, but I don't think I'm any stronger.

I encourage you and everyone else not to eat the poison they call food at the supermarket. Do yourself a favor and eat organic. Otherwise you're eating mutants.

I worked at a pioneering health food store for 4 years- don't fool yourself on the organics.
