Re: Tom Brady/Balco Connection
I guess it's interesting, but there really isn't much to it. I wish they said who contacted who. If Brady called Anderson I think that is sort of fishy (but not illegal or anything), but if it was the other way around I don't think it means anything.
I doubt much will come of this.

Re: Tom Brady/Balco Connection
I probably should have elaborated a little more on what I meant by interesting.
~There appears to be smoke -- that does not mean fire. ~Not real consistant w/ TBs image. He is no Barry Bonds. ~This should be ANOTHER warning to many -- those within the NFL and fans -- there is no reason to think that the NFL is not going to get caught up in some performance enhancing drug scandals.

Re: Tom Brady/Balco Connection
I completely agree with all those points. You'd have to be insane to imagine that none of these 6'5'' 280lb guys could run 4.5 40s w/o at least a handful of them juicing.

Re: Tom Brady/Balco Connection
WAIT! I just thought of something.
Maybe this is just the Bay Area's way of getting back at Brady for the "tuck rule" game.

NFL substance abuse punishments are also far more harsh than other sports. To the league office, skipping a test is the same thing as a positive test, and the first strike is a quarter of a season suspension. The next strike is a full season, and a lifetime ban after that. You can't test positive twenty times and still have a career, like you can in baseball and basketball. |

As for drug testing? Do you understand what is going on in baseball? Most of these guy's are not being caught because no one know's how to test for these different muscle enhancers, what do you think this Balco case is all about? It's all word of mouth, these players can continue to do it because they will never test positive because the drug is undetectable. The body puts out growth hormones naturally, but everyone puts out a different amount, so nobody can be judged on a standard level, so they raise the level so high that everyone comes in under the test level if it can be detected at all. Bottom line if anyone thinks that the higharchey of MLB, or the NFL want's performance enhancing drugs out, I have a bridge over here in Jersey I would like to sell you. Higher performance means a higher quality product, which means more money in everyones pocket. ![]() |

Most athletes are genetic freaks, who have been bigger and faster than everyone else their entire lives. While I agree that a lot of players may use supplements, it's a little close minded to assume that a player is juicing simply because he is bigger and stronger than the average person. |

I do not ever want to accuse an individual of cheating, when he's only guilty of hard work, but you have to understand I have been lifting and bodybuilding since I was 15, I am now 42, I have been in and out of gyms all over Jersey I have played semi pro baseball, and have played with and against X MLB players as well as X NFL players, you have no idea what's going on out there, as Defensewins pointed out HS kids are juicing, they were juicing when I was in HS, do really believe that with all the money available if you make a pro team that these guys aren't going to start juicing for the big pay day? Heck a third of my old softball team used to juice as we headed into the playoffs and we only played for a trophy. I understand your stance but that stance is exactly what these pro sports organizations are counting on, they tell everyone we have a strict drug testing program when in fact it's not the frequency in which these players are tested, it's the method in which they are tested, and rest assured nobody is looking for positive results! |

Re: Tom Brady/Balco Connection
There is no connection. There is reputed to be one phone call with a principal in that case. It's meaningless.

Re: Tom Brady/Balco Connection
This is stupid and had nothing to do with Balco.
Brady was on the west coast and needed a place to work out. Someone recommended Anderson's gym so he gave him a call. Anderson wasn't available and Brady didn't pursue. So now there's a connection? That's absolutely ridiculous. |
