Glad that PED testing in MLB is working.

Normal test levels for his age group are in the 600 range...Average levels on someone using even moderate doses are in the 2,000 - 4,000 range. You are clueless if you think steroids couldn't help someone just because their test levels are high at a young age. The levels steroids help you achieve are absolutely inhuman.

The most popular and only PED that even matters is Testosterone do some research of someone under the age of 30 taking and what the actual benefits are of using it at a young age.

The benefits are huge to anyone of any age. I ask you again, if it is such a benefit to people over 30 why isn't there more of them in pro sports?? You want to tell me that the avg size of OL in the NFL has jumped prob 25 lbs in the past 20 years and this is due to better training?? Its steroids and none of them are over 30 coming out of college. Athletes are in their prime from 18-25, and they are using them to get the most out of their bodies that they can. PED's aren't just steriods either, HGH's are more powerful then steriods and also used by many. Also detectable only through tissue samples.

Anyone who knows anything about steroids knows that the benefit Mike Trout would get from any PED's would be slim. Guys who benefit from PED's are older guys Trout is young very young his body is already producing alot of testosterone, his body is not at the age where he is losing any of his ability. Some one like say Roger Clemons would need them to speed recovery and build more muscle then his body would be able to because of his age and low testosterone levels. Taking testosterone when you are at the age of Clemons would make you feel like you are Trouts age so why would Trout benefit from taking them?

Obviously you know nothing about PED's, how they work and what they do. Do some research. Do you think that Trout is body recovers in some superhuman way or produces more testosterone?? Trouts body doesn't produce anymore testosterone then ours does or did at his age naturally. If what you say is true, then why isn't there more 35+ players in MLB or other pro sports ripping it up if PED's help them more????

Yup. People seem to take a blind eye towards it when it comes to fotball.

If you don't use them you don't get to the NFL. Everyone is on them and you have to use them to compete. The testing is so far behind athletes that it is pathetic. If they can't catch them at the olympics, they aren't going to get them in the NFL where the testing isn't as stringent. Chemists can make up a synthetic testosterone like the did with Balco and if it hadn't been for the USTA guy that ratted them out they still wouldn't know what Marion Jones and Barry Bonds were on or what to look for.

[rothdawg]

I'm pretty sure 90 percent of the players in the NFL are on them, or have at least tried them.

They definitely test the players quite frequently. I have a co-worker who as a side job has been a part of the group testing the Phillies all season long. Guy has been going to Phila. every few weeks to do this.

Now as to what they are testing for, I have no idea.
