5 other players on that shyt. Clubhouse was LIT!
This is probably every baseball and football team. Even college football teams.
Any new manager walking into this is crazy. 6 players (at least) using oxy while an employee is supplying and likely for profit of course.
you’d think their priority would be on winning a division yet somehow there’s enough time to do drugs. Crazy.

Mike Trout one of the five?

This should be interesting, I wonder if this makes the Angels liable for his death
It likely will since they knew and did nothing to get him off.

Think about how Straw, Doc, and a lot of the black players from the Pittsburgh Drug Trials were treated and how they had to clean up the game.
Think about how steroids wasn’t a problem until Barry started using them and then they had to clean up the game.
Now look at this shyt. This isn’t even the first one. It won’t be the last. They know a high percentage (5-10%) of their white players are hooked on opioids. There won’t be any cleaning of the game. They are going to continue handing average dope fiends millions until a black or brown player ODs and then they’ll clean it up because their mostly white consumer base demands it.

Think about how false this is.
If baseball players are using opioids like crazy and that sport is mostly just standing around then you know football players are damn near drowning in them

Look up the Mitchell Report (2006) and why baseball didn’t begin testing for steroids until 2003 after 22 years of it being a banned substance.

Baseball had always tested for it. They were very lax about the punishment for it and what they tested for. The stuff McGwire took in ‘98 wasn’t even punishable because it wasn’t considered a banned substance. Before they’d just issue you a warning and keep it on the low. Now they drop the hammer. Steroid suspicion in the sport predated Bonds.

They tested in the minor leagues, in season with irregularity, but the MLBPA had never agreed to any testing even to the point of you had played 1 season in MLB you were considered untestable. In fact, the first year of testing there was no penalty. That’s when A-Rod got “caught” and he “quit” using. 5 to 7% of the testing pool got caught. Barry didn’t. That’s why they started digging in on BALCO through the feds. They wanted to know how he didn’t get caught.
