    If you are not cheating you are not trying hard enough. MLB still protects the big names.

    Man these athletes out of all 4 major sports.... are built like brickhouses.

    It's sad to see these professional groups doing "select" testing.

    Everyone should be tested... EVERYONE...

    And if everyone was tested 50% of every league wouldn't have a team.

    Yankees use to be able to buy these steroid freaks and then win the world series but not anymore. The playing field in baseball has leveled out.

    Lets not get carried over here. Gordon is not a big name. Big names are Harper, Gonzalez, Kershaw, etc and I'm not implying these guys aren't clean. Most people could not pick up Gordon in a police lineup.

    All baseball players are tested multiple times per year.

    Yeah, this is no surprise, old player hanging on by a thread a few years ago turns it around and comes to life. Look at those HR totals, he's been getting away with it for a few years it seems. This is the guy that once said you have to be stupid to get caught with peds... and that was after the first time he got caught.

    He did this because you can't build through free agency any more. Steroids are not part of the game. By the time guys hit free agency, they are already on their slide.
