Ramon Laureano suspended 80 games for PEDs

No wonder his arm was so good.

Piece of shit. I hope the A’ths tank

The A's have been so over rated since that Moneyball stuff was hyped. Sure, they have been good but not that good. No championships or series appearances.

Lots of other teams have been better with different approaches. And for all the nerdy praise, where has the attendence been this century? Hardly a fan pleasing team. 

Ironic that the 'Bash Brothers' were exposed as mega cheaters and now another A gets caught for the same thing. Nice to see tradition is still alive there.

Laureano when he comes back from suspension.  

[Slegnaac]

His statement includes a reference to Baseball Factory, I find that unsettling.

I'm surprised that the MLBPA hasn't formed an investigative unit to try and combat the illuminati from going around and injecting these guys with roids while they sleep.

Same…but only if the Angels don’t get the 2nd WC spot

[zenmaster]

So he claims he ate an injectable anabolic steroid? And didn't they just trade for Marte at the deadline who was suspended for the same thing once?

Let these guys do whatever they want and stop pretending like this is shocking news.

They are just trying to get clicks on a slow news day.

This isn't shocking news, it's good news.

Fuck the A's.

They won't. 

I fucking hate that team. I hate playing them. I hate their dumb stadium. 

Also, a good reminder that so many around the League praise Nelson Cruz for his solid seasons the last three years and forget that, he too, was busted for PED use years ago, recovered, and signed a multi-year deal, showing that it pays to take the risk of using.

I like that the Angels have not had an instance of PED use (but we do have drug use, RIP Tyler), but it sure pisses me off that a lot of competitors out there seem to turn a goddamn blind eye to their players using and creating marginal edges on their rosters that push them up the win curve, while teams like the Angels suffer for it.... "Why can't the Angels build a winner around Mike Trout?", blah blah blah blah. Of course I would be remiss in not saying the Angels do not have their own issues like the aforementioned Skaggs, hiring sexual predators, etc., but this is so annoying, especially because Laureano has been so dominant against us.

Once again, not a shock. MLB is a business and when there is money at stake, there will be people who will try to take advantage of getting good money by cheating. Look at Bonds (after 1998), Clemens (after 1997), the steroid boys in Boston (Manny and Ortiz), and Bauer (deserves to go to prison). Laureano won't be the last.

I once heard that PED use can lead to nagging injuries. Troy Glaus?

"I hate Oakland, hate everything about Oakland," Anaheim reliever Brendan Donnelly said.

"Even Jack London Square?" he was asked.

"What's that?" Donnelly asked.

Brendan Donnelly has seen enough of the seedy side of Oakland to not care.

Depends. There are certain injuries that would seem like it. If these guys are running bodybuilder stacks, and they tear tendons, i could see that being a reason.

He’s probably on TRT and then decided to add a low dose (maybe like 50mg) of Nandrolone to help with his joints

Deca , Dbol , & Tren  3 most common steroids ,,, wouldn't surprised me if Laureano walking around with Tren cough during his off seasons
