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.

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.
