    Would have to think Conte has a problem if Byrd was still working with him.

    Marlon Byrd, Victor Conte’s Most Famous Client, Suspended For PEDs

    Barry Petchesky

    Marlon Byrd was supposed to be Victor Conte's character witness. For the past three-plus seasons, the journeyman outfield has been the only high-profile client of Conte's supplement business, a product line that's a tough sell since the whole BALCO mess. The BALCO name's gone (it's SNAC now), but Conte could always point to the fact that Byrd never once tested positive for PEDs.
    Until today, when Byrd was suspended for 50 games after testing positive for tamoxifen, and estrogen-blocker often used to treat breast cancer. Tamoxifen's also good for counteracting certain unwanted effects of steroid use, i.e. bitch .
    Here are some "stand by your man" quotes from Byrd in recent years that Conte probably wishes didn't exist:
    June 24, 2009:
    "I don't know if people are blackballing him. I don't know how they will look at me. I'm not worried about it. I don't care. Everybody who ever tested positive can get a second chance but he can't? That doesn't make sense to me."
    July 20, 2010:
    "Victor's supplements have become so much a part of my routine, I can't imagine not using them. I think other guys are missing out."
    Feb. 15, 2011:
    "[They said] 'Why in the world are you working with Victor Conte? It was a choice I made, to work with him. It's me believing in him which a lot of people do not."
    Feb. 20, 2011:
    "The first thing everyone thinks is PR nightmare, steroid king, BALCO. There's nothing positive that comes with Victor's name. But now he's associated himself with positive people and we're going to get his name back out there as being a great guy."
    March 13, 2011:
    I'm not going to say I have a bull's-eye on my back, but I think a lot of people are waiting for me to get my first positive test and miss 50 games. They'd like that just so they can say, 'We told you so.' I know that won't happen. I know I'm clean.
    Byrd is a free agent after being released by the Red Sox earlier this month, but the turnaround on MLB testing and appeals makes it unlikely that this is something Byrd turned to in desperation in just the past couple of weeks. Add this to boxer Andre Berto, another Conte/SNAC client, failing a steroid test last month, and maybe it's time for a new company acronym.

    Dude was juicing for years, tried to get off it this off-season and came in 40 lbs lighter. Strange how his new found "shape" didn't help his bat speed or overall game..........Later dude.

    No sympathy. I'm beginning to hate everyone in a Cubs uniform from 2009-2012. This has been 4 years of embarrassment and it is weighing on me as a Cubs fan.

    Don't be niave he was using it for his steroid cycle. It's like a boxer or fighter that gets popped for diuretics. The diuretics aren't steroids but they are used to mask the presence of steroids when being tested. The drug he used isnt a steroid but serves a purpose in his steroid cycle and there's a reason it's a banned substance.

    Everybody is juicing in todays game. Guys getting banned all over the place for failing drug tests. MLB just needs to allow juicing and let the players play

    Who cares if guys want to juice? Let them juice that way you cant cheat.

    You guys clearly did not read the article. He was using substances that treat steroids, not PEDs themselves.
