regina jacobs testing positive for taking "roids

In article said:

now why am i not surprised to hear that she has been taking a designer steroid. for a 40 year old
to be running the times she has been running she had to be on something.

Sadly these allegations, if true, will lead people to devalue performances which nevertheless are
remarkable.

I can't say I entirely agree with your reasoning. Had steroids been available the 1950s people
might have said (wrongly) of Roger Bannister, "he must have been on something to run the mile in
under 4 minutes."

"Say it ain't So"....I've seen her run for 25 yrs.....we're from the same home town. Even now you
can always catch her running around Lake Merrit (in Oakland)...."an urban lake".

what's odd is that reportedly....

"....and Regina Jacobs, who are listed as customers on the Web site maintained by SNAC Systems, a
subsidiary of BALCO, the California-based nutritional supplement company which allegedly engineered
the steroid".

Jeeeeezzz....I can't understand how/why RJ and her management/people would allow her name to be
listed like this.....

Getting ready to rip ? Looks like your Home Girl is a cheater. All of her records are suspect. They
should be wiped from the books. Guess there's a newly available spot in " 10 greatest women, middle
distance runners worldwide" list. She should be banned from racing. No 2004 Olympics for her ... she
ain't got a chance without the juice.

I started this thread with Regina Jacobs as I come from the same home town and have watched her
career before Stanford. The day Regina is convicted and found guilty as Mary Decker Slaney has been
I'll be consistent and rip Regina. Example? As I said, I am from Oakland, as is Regina...as is
Kelli White. Right now we're seeing Kelli White....I saw Kelli once in High School in Union City
(about 15 miles South of Oakland) at a meet....and on TV at UT. Well now she's very much on
trial...and if she's found guilty.....I would rip her as I am Mary Decker Slaney.

All these athletes that get caught doping manage to find an excuse, a plausible reason to justify
their getting caught. This one blames birth control pills, that one blames cold medicene, the other
blames headache pills...blah blah blah, give me a friggen break. These folks know every single
thing that goes in their body people.

a race. here a example from a horse to a human in my opinion only...... Strawberry hills horse races
in the old days were simple. run to and around tree and back. everyone had beer and food and fun in
a field. The race ran and the winner won. bets were made. and game was over. Now a days one has to
[censored] in a cup , bend over. get there whole life and people around them to point of all butt not the
bend over or pissing a cup thing. for what a prize that is regal by a purse of a part of a billing
dollars. Now here comes the 50 people that get part of this purse. and all the others. seems only
one having a good time our the winners...... sorry if I offended anyone on this not sharing wealth
thing. when my leg is better I well run again and be in the part of group that sweat and no how to
run part. might not win. butt running is the name of the game... as far as money we know it takes 50
billing people to get the purse right. who f ing cares..... if this runners had drugs in her [censored].
well there it is. my opinion. now the billings zillions well get a 50 more in the law part of said
purse... maybe 6 month time they can get the world to build a oil country for billions and the owner
of the world bank well say....you well be rewarded 1 way or the other. under 6 month......Not
bad..........only thing I here is labor is 8 bucks per hour for me. I well pick up 10 cent cans.
build place your self from you e offices.......... county bld official still giving work to
brothers. what else is new. as long as there mothers hand wash a 10 buck bill,. cheap scathe.....
hay this for 8 bucks an hour........... funny last war there it was 17.50 and one before that it was
14.00 gee let me think. If I flew to irac and work for 8 bucks and hout . The world bank well say I
well be rewarded. Yes I well learn to run faster this is true.yes.very true........ maybe I get to
kiss the wall. talk about road rage....... oh I know all the billions goes to The office people for
what they do............okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk bill me I owe time to go and pick up 10 cent cans. I am a

I can't say I entirely agree with your reasoning. Had steroids been available the 1950s people
might have said (wrongly) of Roger Bannister, "he must have been on something to run the mile in
under 4 minutes."

And people would be justified if Roger had tested positive as it appears is about to happen to quite
a few in several sports.

Is it a coincidence that in MLB, in 2003, when it was announced that testing would be taking place,
that no one hit 50 homeruns. In recent years 60-70+ where hit by several players in the same year ?

It appears that one can do "remarkable" things with a little help.

did not know you were such a fan of mine. you actually bothered to dig up/google stuff i posted
months ago?

Nope, wasn't difficult to forget the thread where you started with Regina, moved on to talking about
your friends in jail, and ended with the President getting oral.

It's setting right here in my news client. Almost guessed its location to the week.

Well, two of the guys who have been up there (Bonds and Sosa) missed a lot of games this year.
I do not have their stats handy, but if you take the HR:AB ratio and assumed they would hit
HRs at the same rate, it might get close. This is not really a defense of Bonds or Sosa, but
is not proof of the "effectiveness" of the MLB "plan".

She was very embarrassed and apologetic at the news conference. Her throat was so dry when she was
trying to explain herself at that podium, that you could see her adam's apple going up and down,
up and down.
