DROY brian cushing busted for roids

[pbmax]

If Cushing got caught cheating why was he still eligible to win the award on this second go-around?? To me this whole re-vote is a joke if the guy who cheated was not removed from consideration.

It was poorly thought out and ended up having both the AP staff who administer the thing and the writers themselves looking for the other make a statement.

The writers didn't want to re-vote on limited notice (2 days) or thought he should be ineligible. The AP wanted to writers to determine whether this would be disqualifying or not. He ended up winning because many writers voted the same as a protest of the re-vote. One more example that once you say "we need to do something", you usually end up doing something dumb.

those writers are pompous idiots. one of them actually changed a vote from Byrd to Cushing just to show that he didn't like the process. these self-righteous key bangers live to crucify athletes that step out of line and break the rules. so what was this protest crap? the kid is now spinning some bullshit story about thinking a tumor caused his levels to be off, because they're the only other thing aside from an injection that could be the culprit. so he had a tumor,a tumor he never decided to have treatment for as he was playing football all year long. pathetic. another role model.

IMO, those ap voters need to be removed from their duties

Someone, the first week of camp when he hits the podium again, needs to ask two questions:

1. Did you have any tumors discovered?

2. Did the tests you said you were going to undergo reveal the source of the HCG?

As far as I can tell "naturally occurring" (non-ingested) HcG is only associated with pregnancy and testicular cancer. Shouldn't have been too hard to rule the first potential cause out, and a quick self-examination would probably have told him whether he had anything to worry about on the second count. Unless, of course, his 'nads were already hard to locate.

Dis this occur naturally?

Maybe the NFL should award these post season individual awards like MLB does instead of having media folks who have their own personal agendas.

this new info thats come out today really makes a lot of sense after the whole man boob discussion, doesn't it?

so let me see if i got this straight?

in a nut shell

a guy takes an roids to get ahead. the roids cause his body to stop making testosterone leading to his nuts shrinking and the gyno problem that leads to the man boobs. when the guy is then done with the roid cycle (i guess you use these in cycles, not all the time?), so once he's done with the roids he uses this HCG to kick start the the testosterone again. which would lead to the nuts getting bigger and the gyno boobs going away?

is that kind of the ballpark?

pft also mentioned that doctors are saying that yes, this does occur naturally in the body, but not in level that would be detected in a healthy person. they then mention that the fact that he didn't fail another test after the first proves that the HCG at that level is not naturally in his body, he had to put it there.

The gyno problem is actually caused because such an overload of testosterone (roids) forces the body to convert to estrogen which causes bitch tits or man boobs. It also causes a converstion to DHT which causes hairloss if you are already susceptible to hair loss. The nuts shrinking is because your body has so much unnatural T using the receptors that it shuts down production.

HCG is a female pregnancy hormone. It triggers normal testosterone production in men to get the body jump started again after a cycle (and a "normal" cycle is 9 weeks). Its also used for weight loss, but i'm not sure how it works. People seem to be able to live on 500 calories a day while on it and not get hungry.

The timeline that PFT lines up with

Cushing injures his knee in August
Cushing takes his mandatory scheduled drug test, passes
Knee isn't healing as fast as Cushing wants it to.
Cushing takes 'roids to speed up the recovery processs.
Cushing takes hCG coming off the 'roid cycle.
Cushing gets nailed by a random drug test in September.

That seems to be pretty plausible.

Roids won't help a knee (or any joint) heal, but they will allow quick recovery off muscle after it heals on its own or surgery. HgH on the other hand is a miracle for joints....even "heals" arthritis.....hmmmmm, why won't the FDA approve HgH for people suffering serious arthritis problems?

wow. this kid fell out of the stupid tree and hitting every f-ing branch on the way down, i think.

[MJZiggy]

Dis this occur naturally?

That is ridiculously unattractive...
