Paul Byrd bought HGH (Williams/Fainaru-Wada)

[ajml]

Byrd is exactly the type of player who is going to take steroids. He is a fringe player who might think he is in danger of being run out of the league. Any extra edge to stick around is a pretty big deal.

vhawk, I said nothing about steroids. Steroids have serious negative side effects. Steroids also make people freaky big. Neither is true of HGH.

You believe that HGH doesn't make people bigger?

Apparently guys aren't clicking the Fox link. He had a prescription.

Not exactly.. from the SF Chronicle article.
"Two of Byrd's prescriptions for growth hormones were not written by a physician, according to a law enforcement source. Instead, the prescriptions were written by a Florida dentist, said the source, who asked not to be quoted by name because he was not authorized to comment. The dentist's license was suspended in 2003 for fraud and incompetence, state records show."

I dont see why that is relevant to my post. Why doesnt the logic apply to steroids just as well as HGH?

I think in an attempt to make his argument look stupid you sort of accidentally made him look right. No one in the history of the steroid scandal has ever been ever to make a convincing/logical argument for drawing the "bad substances"/"allowed substances" where it gets drawn(the current standard is "Whatever substances the media thinks Barry Bonds took").

[censored] steroids threads.


Also, nobody read Paul Byrd's autobiography because it hasn't been published yet, FWIW.

I wasn't trying to make him look stupid at all. I think steroids and HGH should be completely allowed in all sports.
