The situation with one of our baseball players made me think
Would you use PED's if you were a marginal player but it would guarantee that you could play baseball at MSU for a year- would you do it? Caveat is you would also get caught and suspended and get kicked off the team after a year and your career is over.
I'd probably do it.
-
I'd do it. The pro's outweigh the cons and honestly, getting caught using PEDs is looked at much differently than getting caught with hard drugs. You could recover socially from a PED scandal.
-
I'm still not convinced it was PED's that Plumlee was using, and probably won't be until its explicitly called out by a reputable source.
-
But I am curious, what would have happened had we won the series and he had pitched? Forfeit?

FWIW a failed test for marijuana is I think is six months. A failed PED test is one year which is what the length of Plumlee's suspension is.

I'm not sure- probably vacate any games won in which ineligible player appeared in?

Plumlee did not test positive for PEDs or marijuana

So, you care nothing about your long-term health?
This is one of the problems with today's instant society, will do anything for a flash headline.

Yes. The same thread where a list was created of a large number of posters who should never become narcs or undercover cops.

Well...what really happened?

Could be add medication. I think it is considered a performance enhancing drug that you have to have a script for.

Hell no! For a year plus putting yourself ahead of the team and school, that ain't right by no means.

I wouldn't use regardless of caught or not caught. I wouldn't use knowing it would get me a $15,000,000 contract. Wouldn't do it.

This. I was on ADHD medication in high school. The guy giving me my test asked me if I was on ADHD meds and I said yes. I had been on them since I was 7 so it wasn't like it was something new to me. Well the idiot forgot to mark it on my test notes and I got a positive test for heroin (and a call to my mom which did not go well). Luckily that got cleared up, but unless you have a prescription, it will come up as a positive drug test, and you better be able to show proof of a prescription or you get hammered.
Now I'm not privy to what Plumlee got popped for, but I do know what ADHD medication will do to a drug test. And to be honest, I'm stunned more athletes don't get popped for a positive test on ADHD medication anymore. That's the drug of choice now in a lot of high schools and colleges.

I assure you your ADHD medication didnt show up as heroin. Its an amphetamine most likely.

Wouldn't do it.
Did anyone else notice Plumlee hitting upwards of 93mph in the regionals...when he barely could hit 90 in the regular season?

You're right. I don't know why I said heroin. It did show up as a methamphetamine.
