80 parts per trillion is 0.0000000000008. the moral of the story is, if you're going to get caught you should take much more. might have helped his BA.

This stands out for me, sports and entertainment get cadillac treatment. A regular joe if you $@%! dirty, gone, end of story, even in the military. Sports, you get sympathy and second and third chances

so you can have 20 times the normal testosterone in your body (5 times the highest recording) and you're probably innocent, but you can have 80 parts per trillion, and you're probably a user.

Freddy must appeal the suspension. His doctor gave prescriptions to him with the substance. MLB has no right to impede medical practice.

He really should have asked the appeals board how his sample was handled before he accepted the punishment, maybe he'd get off. But then on second thought, he would have had no chance because he's not the reigning NL MVP!!

which would explain the parts per trillion. Are we using NASA equipment to detect this stuff or something?

what would 80 parts per trillion do for performance anyhow? Wouldn't that be like eating a skittle before every at bat? Can anyone else fathom how small of a trace parts per TRILLION is

That's not what was in his body, that's what was detected in his urine when he was caught.

80 parts per trillion has to be the smallest sample ever taken.

what's odd is 80 parts per 1,000,000,000,000 means you're a cheater, but 20:1 synthetic testosterone means you're clean.

Proof that PEDs alone do not make you hit for power, or hit period.

@jeffsigmaChi In most cases I would totally agree but Freddy is in the majors because of injuries and because of his glove, his bat is very close to being terrible. Cheating is cheating but I do think that MLB and sports in general have gone too far with PED's, its not like he was on the crap Barry Bonds was on that had him go from a skinny kid to Mr. Universe. The stuff that's illegal in the game now can be purchased at your local GNC or health store and really doesn't do that much.

But they're often the difference between making the majors and sitting in the minors.
