And lost in all of this was your original mischaracterization of the memo, citing ESPN, which convienently quoted the memo out of context and failed to mention in any coverage that it did not prohibit presecription steroids.

It was a misguided attempt to imply that all steroids were banned, when they weren't.

I never said, or tried to imply, that legally prescribed steroids were banned by the memo.

Essentially, your argument has been:

I: said the memo banned steroids.
You: said OH NOES IT DIDN'T -- look, only steroids that aren't prescribed.
I: LDO, of course not, why would anyone try to ban legally prescribed steroids? and why is that even significant?
You: therefore, the memo didn't ban steroids. Ah HAH!
I: WTF?

This makes no sense to me.

You keep trotting out this fact as if it is some smoking gun. Again, why does this matter at all?

Why exactly is this so crucial to you? So the memo didn't ban prescribed steroids--so what? When has anyone claimed that prescribed steroids were banned?

Do you agree that the memo banned illegal steroids?

Please answer that question.

Did the memo ban illegal steroids?

Wait a minute, I know you're going to start blathering about the CBA.

New question:

Did the 1991 memo purport to ban illegal steroids in MLB?
