Prolly Ban on energy drinks comes next... GOVT needs to get a life seriously. and stay out of ours

**RJstrong** · 02-13-2008, 12:10 PM

I'm a bit surprised that the liberals seem to be on the attack and the conservatives are defending clemens. Obviously it's all bullshit... our govt needs to find something better to do with their time and our money!

It wouldn't be a Government issue if the MLB didn't ask them to get involved or if all the owners didn't ask for millions of dollars a year from the Government. The day the taxpayers stop paying for the stadiums of all the teams in their cities will be a day towards stopping the government in looking into situations like this. Until then, they have all the right and duty to do so.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one. I just seem to think, call me crazy, that with all the problems that face our country and the world for that matter that pro athletes taking steriods should be at the bottom of the priority list or actually not be on the list at all. I mean come on athletes taking steriods what a surprise... it's shocking! lol. Everybody is going to lie, nobody's going to give and ultimatley everone's time and money will be wasted. If you feel that it's money well spent then please I beg of you never run for office!!!

I agree that there are more important issues out there but that doesn't mean that congress should ignore a smaller issue that their duty requires them to take care of. It's like saying cops shouldn't pull people over for traffic violations when there are murders that aren't solved. It's all hearsay, different people have different jobs they're entitled to.

What would me being on a internet forum have anything to do with congressional hearings with Roger Clemens and his trainer? All I'm saying is that congress if following their judicial duties so to argue that is pointless. I may not agree with their intentions completely but they're doing what they're elected into office to do, unfortunately. Cop? Nope.

**longhorn814** · 02-13-2008, 12:44 PM

this one guy is giving clemens shit about taking B12 shots now..saying he's not amenic or eldery and wants to know why he needed them

**xero** · 02-13-2008, 01:01 PM

Was really kind of strange to watch a congressman defend Clemens and attack McNamee.

The government initiates the investigating into mlb AAS use, they get the the reality of the situation handed to them in the mitchell report confirming wide spread use, and now they are up there defending Clemens.

Get the impression that they cant deal with the reality of mlb being tainted so crucify the messenger. Bizarre.

**MuscleScience** · 02-13-2008, 01:02 PM

I just came to the understanding that this community basically has now voice at all. When compared to those that bash steroids and HGH. Its pretty powerful when a congressman stands up and says that steroids are bad and we have heard stories of people lossing legs and committing suicide because of steroids. WTF!!!

**MuscleScience** · 02-13-2008, 01:04 PM

Thanks to Senator Foxx, if you heard what she just said.

**Elusive** · 02-13-2008, 01:12 PM

Im watching. That chairman is a d!ck. Stop messing with Roger!!!

Fvck steroids . The congress needs to go after the Patriots for cheating for the past 7 years.

Pats

**kman** · 02-13-2008, 01:50 PM

Clemens is doing the right thing, Deny Deny Deny, even though while listening to him and the facts it is quite obvious he did use HGH. He needs to learn to speak and project his innocence better!!! McNamee is being labeled, and called to his face by congress right now as a drug dealer. Some stated there is no difference between him and a drug dealer on the street selling rec. drugs, which I find to be a really bad comparison. Both him and Andy Pettite are rats IMO...My father always taught me growing up the worst and lowest thing to be in life is a rat. Take a few years for purjury and be in a federal prison which in some cases is like a country club, but don't rat a friend out.. Congressman love this attention, and if it was not baseball it would be something else!!!! Football will be next in a few years, and the media will eat it up and we will be right back to the steroid scandal!!!

You and your Father are right... nothing worse than a rat!!!

**TatMan** · 02-13-2008, 10:09 PM

It really is a sad fact that the government would rather go after steroids instead of getting our troops home and ending the war! Im just sick of all this bullcrap! There are so many other things they should be doing with OUR money then trying to figure out who took steroids or hgh in baseball! Just sickening!!

***El Diablo*** · 02-14-2008, 03:06 AM

I dont know about this really but it seems that where most of you guys are (USA) that the government serioulsy doesnt have any better things to do!! Im from SA and i dont even think the Goverment even knows what Steroids are let alone GH! .. The assholes in my country is to busy spending money on Preventing HIV/AIDS , what da hell man i say if you do wanna gamble then you gotta pay the price man, Rather spend the cash on bringing the Death Penalty back and prosecute the rapisits etc.... I dont understand the monkeys in govement, all of them are obese and look like sh*t, It really boggles my mind..
