Zimmerman, Howard, Teagarden all Accused of being PED users

[Second Base]

Along with Payton Manning and Clay Matthews in the NFL.  This one isn't going to go away.  There's going to be a lot of denial on all parts.  But watch the 50 minute long video, and I think you'll agree that at the most basic levels, this is truth.  I can almost guarantee these guys will probably get off with a slap in their collective wrists.  But I think the current world of doping is well illuminated here.  There are still a TON of performance enhancing drugs being used, and I wouldn't be so naive to believe that there aren't at least 4 or 5 players currently on the Angels that are using.

 

Anyway, here's the shortened MLBTR version - http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/12/documentary-reportedly-links-ryan-howard-ryan-zimmerman-taylor-teagarden-to-ped-claims.html

 

And here's the full story from Al Jazeera - 

 

If you have 50 minutes of free time, give the full version a try.  It's definitely worth it.

This has already been pretty heavily proven wrong.  The dude that was the primary source recanted everything.

When a drug dealer says he didn't do it, we should definitely take it at face value.

Not defending the report. Haven't watched. But denials are ALWAYS the first response and have a bad relationship with the eventual truth.

Pay attention.

 

The source was an intern who was there for only three months that had no direct contact with anyone named in the report.

 

Basically the Al Jazeera dude that published it was jut looking for publicity.

Al Jazeera will regret publishing this story, to the tune of millions of dollars in defamation lawsuits.

I think the thread title is really bad Scotty. Very misleading.

[bloodbrother]

The guy already recanted everything and will be silenced by the NFL/Peyton's lawyers. That'll be the end of this

Agreed and fixed

[seenoevil]

how about LeBron?

[QuinlansMinion]

Can we give some of that secret HGH to Pujols?  Id be more than okay with a World Series if it meant some cheating was going on.  

 

Hey the Red Sox did it and I dont see anyone complaining about it.  

[Second Base]

Agreed and fixed

Thanks gents, I'm in favor of changing the title.

Anyway, because of who the source is and Al Jazeera's ties to terrorism, I don't think the investigation will come to many punitive measures. Except for Teagraden. Being on video and talking about taking them is a pretty damning.

Scotty is the King of clickbait thread titles.

This is just a new form of terrorism, defaming our heroes...

[gotbeer]

And just a bit less than AW.com....forums. 

 

You know you are bad, when Yahoo has more reputable breaking stories than your news station.  Well except for the info from terrorists.

[Ohtaniland]

We hear the rumors of stonings, hangings and beheadings but Al Jazeera usually has the video to back it up. They're legit. Edited December 28, 2015 by CALZONE

What has that got to do with Nate's statement?

[Hollyw00d]

They wouldn't release a story without shit to.back it up

[Hollyw00d]

Imagine if BALCO was found to be a hoax. Yeah that's not gonna happen

[Frieri Meatball]

They wouldn't release a story without shit to.back it up

The guy that they got this information from basically came out and said he lied. What's so hard to understand about that?

[Hollyw00d]

Ok

[Hollyw00d]

IMO this will take a similar path that pujols-Clark did
