Palmeiro Suspended

They found a drug in his system that does not exist. Here is a quote from SI - “The Baltimore Orioles slugger tested positive for the powerful steroid stanozonol, a person with knowledge of the sport’s drug-testing program told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday.” Anybody ever heard of “stanozonol”? Only thing close would be ‘stanozolol’… Boy, the news media sure is dumb. Most 16 yr olds who ever have picked up a ‘Flex’ could at least spell the damn thing right.

Does this remind anyone else of the communist hearings?

Apparently, either I was wrong and they have a new form of testing that picks up the actual substance, or someone at the testing lab is full of SH!T, because now they are syaing that he tested positive for Winny. I thought they could only detect the effect from steroids on natural hormone levels, not the steroid itself.
Can anyone clarify this for me? Cy, perhaps?
