Might as well just be smoking weed. It's not performance enhancing.

Riiiiiiiiight

After the Mariners sweep Oakland this weekend the A's will be outside looking in.

O's are my only hope.

Davis admits he took Adderall. He had an exemption in the past, but did not have it for this year. So, any claims about him not being clean in the past are null/void.

Yeah, amphetamines aren't performance enhancing at all.



(not a statement on Davis, just a statement on the idiotic comment)

Was the suspension system changed? I thought a first offense was 50 games???

Isn't is weird how many players have ADHD these days?

No shock whatsoever. Just saying.

 

[podsox]

this is the definition of a player/agent just being a dumbasses. he had a pass for it in the past but didn't fill out the paper work this season.

Interesting........

What are the chances the suspension could be overturned????

Probably zero. Even if a player has a condition that warrants having a prescription for amphetamines, it is still the player's responsibility to have a therapeutic exemption (TUE).

Not as big a loss this years as it would have been last year. He has had a down year at the plate. He has reminded me of Dan Uggla this year,Sure he has hit homeruns but he Ks a lot.

THis is not really a PED.


It is legal treatment drug that is quite common in MLB. Fully 12% of the league have exemptions.


The OP's team (A's) leads the league in exemptions.


Something like 130 players now have legal exemptions and nearly 30% of all MLB ready minor leaguers.




This was more STUPIDITY at the highest level.


He never bothered to complete the waiver extensions which is quite easy to obtain.

Exactly. He still hit 53 HR's clean.
