[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 5157, member: 3"] The second part of the article says this: "Through 2012, the league flagged tests for further review if a player's testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio exceeded four to one. Players like Rodriguez apparently found it possible to stay within acceptable levels by using fast-acting synthetic testosterone. Once the league recognized this fact, in early 2013, it switched to a “biological passport” system. Now it tracks ratios over time, and flags fluctuations.It is hard to say whether the new protocol could have caught Mr. Rodriguez and other Biogenesis clients. [URL="http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/11/29/major-league-baseball-releases-its-annual-drug-test-report/"]No major-league player[/URL] tested positive for steroids in 2013, which might mean that the process is a deterrent, or that some players have already found a loophole. There is always more the league could do to root out steroid use, like more routine use of the highly sensitive carbon isotope test. But realistically, it may be that testing alone will never be enough, and that other methods, like investigations by journalists or the league, will always play a role." There are several experts out there whose main job is to teach players to be ahead of any new test that may come along. They should just let players do what they want with doctor's supervision and present the data they gather on them as a study since they all try to be superhuman to be able to sustain high performance and extremely high compensation. I truly think that hormones may make a man stronger but his ability to play a sport is determined by his practice and abilities that cannot be changed with hormones. We are asking these people for a lot and they are under constant pressure to perform. Only an open, honest access to performance drugs can not only equalize the playing field but also teach us mere humans information that could serve humanity as we all age and start declining in health and productivity.
