Frank Howard Suspended

[SWC75]

This is where my head is at if it was non recreational.

If this is either because of recovery, pain management, or both it's a shame.

It doesn't relieve him of responsibility, but I'm not going to get spun up about it if that's what it turns out to be.

The medical purpose of steroids is to aid people in recovering from physical trauma. In small, Regulated doses, it can do that. For that reason I've always thought they should be controlled, (so you you're not getting it from Jose Canseco and needle in your butt), not banned. What's wrong with getting over an injury quickly?

huh? call who out?

Whoever you were referring to.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Frank Howard, can't live with him, can't live without him. What an enigma.Some people are happy with this predicament, others not so much.

eh all you have to do is look around twitter for a few minutes and it's obvious

 

[bballbeadle]

I don’t see how anyone can be “happy” with this. I think many are trying to make their peace with it by saying that we can win without him, and it’s not too grievous a loss. But it is certainly grievous for Howard.

Really, that's your answer?

 

[Scooch]

Unless of course you follow it up with lie after lie then shred the evidence. Then you lose the election.

Yeah, that makes no sense.

Twitter.

 

[SarasotaPaul]

Yeah, that makes no sense.

Twitter.

Just talking about behavior in general. Whether its twitter or whatever, character comes into play.

 

[pearl31]

Really, that's your answer?

seem awfully concerned

 

[Scooch]

Sigh.

Reading these posts, has me realize, I'm not as crazy as I think I am.

That’s EXACTLY what a crazy person would say...

The same response that serves so many other questions: abuse.
How would you regulate "small, regulated doses?" Apparently, you can pay a doctor to say you're in the finest health of any presidential candidate ever, so i have to imagine those who want to abuse the system/the drug can find someone to administer it without purely therapeutic objectives.

 

[A Clockwork Orange]

A few of us tried to lead the horses to water, precious few drank.

Which is amazing, frankly.

 

[GoSU96]

What little I've heard today is that what he did was a result of the injury.

What if the NCAA or professional league had to approve the doctors?

Again, you or i could use steroids to get over an injury, why not an athlete who is more likely to get them?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

What if the PEDs (if it is that) was giving to him by training staff. And it wasn't the kids fault? Then you would be behind JB and his staff getting the boot right? I mean zero tolerance and all?

Then the program will burn. You really thing think the staff is giving PEDs. This isn't Mac's football team.

If it's what is being implied in the latter part of this thread, I can easily understand why a kid would do it. He's not recovering from an injury fast enough, he sees his senior season going to hell while he's been relegated to the bench more often, and he's desperate to find a way to fix the situation.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Nobody on here knows, they say they do but really know as much as the rest of us.

I bet CTO knows

 

[Chalupa_24]

I’m to lazy to browse thru 38 pages cause y’all are insane and have nothing to do all day... is there a timetable as to when frank will be back? Or he gone forever? He’s shooting up roids from some of y’alls post.

No inside info to what caused the suspension...but to answer your question anabolic steroids aren’t given to people to recover from injury. Corticosteroids like cortisone shot, prednisone, etc are given but are completely different and wouldn’t trigger any type of PED positive.

 

[Sherman20]

its pretty simple what happened. he tried to smuggle a gun and drugs on the plane, got caught, now hes being held in a turkish prison.

LOL! This is everything.

 

[JeffCuse]

Yeah great run we made. Thanks Frank.

Note for the future for all fans- when your starting PG is removed from the lineup the day before the tourney, it is not a positive. It never will be.

Good for you.

Unfortunately for him this is his legacy.
