Gio should come clean and not hide behind someone's skirt. man up if you are guilty and my gut says he is guilty. name one instance when a story like this broke and it turned out to be not true or proven to be not true. i can't think of one single instance. anyone?JSLSaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655587162162482636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-12012318182329978262013-02-04T19:36:33.860-05:002013-02-04T19:36:33.860-05:00I find it completely ludicrous the suggestion that...I find it completely ludicrous the suggestion that somehow the front office is responsible. NatsLady needs a dole of reality. Let's see now...players decide when to take themselves out not management. Oh, don't use the Strasburg example. How long before Adam, Ian, Danny, Ryan, blah blah blah came clean with injuries? Why does NatsLady think that players would listen to managemet? These guys are not babies, so lets stop treating them like they are. They are grown men who don't seem to have a problem making their own decisions. If Gio used, then I hope he gets suspended because unlike some people on this site, I care more about baseball than a team or individual. I have read some of the posts and realize that the problem isn't PEDS but rather fans who will fan any excuse to explain away their guy or team.

As of right now, Gio has been tagged with guilty verdict by association and that's just plain wrong.<br /><br />Gio Gonzalez is not deserving the disrespect he's been getting because of this.<br /><br />I should add that I made major edits to this comment, because the original wording was much more expressive and was filled with harsh words towards the 5th estate.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021420959564812072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-30838661930176791322013-02-04T18:46:40.341-05:002013-02-04T18:46:40.341-05:00"Believing Gio is innocent requires believing..."Believing Gio is innocent requires believing in a lot of weird theories and coincidences."<br /><br />WHOA.<br /><br />Believing Gio is GUILTY requires believing that a whole lot of things are true that you wouldn't believe of anyone else.<br /><br />- Before this story, had you ever heard of the Miami New Times? If not, there's a reason for that. It is not a well known paper, with circulation of 66,000/week. (By comparison, the WaPo is > 500,000/day.) Why would one trust their veracity?<br />- Then there's the actual accusation. Who wrote it? Why should we believe it? What proof do we have that its author is in the position this reporter says it is? Does it come from a source with a good reputation for honest reporting? <br />- Let's say I have a piece of paper with your name, and 200 other people's names on it, one of them being Alex Rodriguez. The paper also says "pink cream" on it. Why would one trust this paper to mean that 201 people on my list are using pink cream?<br />- As far as you know, I'm nobody, or at least, you don't know me. But yet, I take my piece of paper with 201 names to the Washington City Paper (circulation 50,000/wk) and tell them I work or worked for the guy that made that sheet of paper, a company that handed that stuff out. I then say it's proof of PED use by those 201 people. Why would one believe that it is?<br /><br />Quite simply, there is zero authentication of this accusation. We don't know who wrote it, and we don't have any reason to trust this anonymous person. The people accused in it have denied it, but we are asked to believe the nameless person that says it's true. But it's the denials that are hard to believe?

I agree with you, the Rule of Law is absolutely crucial. I am saying it isn't the only relevant channel. For now at least, Gio isn't in trouble with the law, or even the rules of MLB. Assuming this is all as BS as he says, his main exposure here IMO is public perception, his rep. That matters because he is a normal human being and it affects him, but also because he is not normal in that he gets paid to endorse stuff, and the law can't help him there.Holden Baroquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941566402992955387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-90857866133959748822013-02-04T16:43:07.081-05:002013-02-04T16:43:07.081-05:00*from*fromHolden Baroquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941566402992955387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-74887044086709212972013-02-04T16:39:28.185-05:002013-02-04T16:39:28.185-05:00Did that lose my itals?
