Roger Clemens has been indicted for making false statements to Congress during his February 2008 hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The alleged false statements came during a sometimes contentious hearing featuring contradictory testimony by Clemens and his former trainer, Brian McNamee, about Clemens’ use of performance enhancing drugs. According to the New York Times, the indictment charges Clemens with one count of Obstruction of Congress, three counts of making false statements and two counts of perjury. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 30 years, but again according to the Times, “under the current sentencing…

Reports have surfaced that Roger Clemens has been indicted for perjury.  Yes, the Feds are pretty sure they can bust Clemens for lying to a grand jury. This story isn’t just about Clemens, in my opinion.  It’s about anybody who just makes things harder on themselves by sticking to their guns instead of backing off. Think about all the people who just won’t go away.  We’re not even talking about steroids here; we’re talking about people who need attention.  Roger Clemens fed off of the attention and now the federal government is going to bust his ass for lying about…

Anthony Roberts has been known for the longest time as the guru of steroid use and research, but what do we really know about him? Anthony Roberts markets himself to be an author, elite athlete and coach, counselor, and self-proclaimed steroid “expert.”  The unfortunate reality is that Anthony Roberts is not who he seems to be. It would be easy to take him at his word, as it seems his research and studies are top-notch, but the truth speaks something entirely different. Roberts goes to great lengths to keep the truth out of the conversation. His use of “notable” accomplishments…

From Strikeforce to UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), mixed martial arts has become a part of pop culture. For the uninitiated, mixed martial arts (or MMA for short) is a full-contact combat sport first introduced in the United States through UFC in 1993. MMA has its roots in the mixed-combat styles common in Japan, Europe, and Brazil. MMA styles range from traditional boxing to grappling and striking styles. Combatants can with by knockout (KO), total knockout (TKO), submission, and by decision. A turning point came in 2006 when Chuck Liddell, UFC light heavyweight champ, fought former champ Tito Ortiz and pay-per-view…

So I happen to have a friend who is an Dragon Rep ( and he stays such no matter how much I bash them ) , and we came up with a great idea of a small controlled study putting Dragon Pharma against Kalpa Pharmaceuticals. We are going to match up the subjects by weight , bf % , experience, etc… It will be blind so the participants will not know what brand they are taking, to make sure the results are pure. The idea behind this is , I watch a lot of crap throwing by one of the…

More than 35 years ago a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Tommy John, was desperate enough to try a risky surgery in an attempt to save his career. Dr. Frank Jobe, a noted Hollywood surgeon performed the surgery, and, two years later John was back in the major leagues. In 1977 he won 20 games, 21 games in 1979, and 22 games in 1980. The surgery was more than just a success. In the words of Will Carroll, author of Saving the Pitcher, “Since the invention of the breaking ball there has been no more significant development in baseball…

The PGA Championship always seems to be the “red-headed step-child” of the four majors in golf. It gets little play and it’s at the end of the season. Then Dustin Johnson went to the 18th green with a shot at putting for the title. He missed the putt and had to wait to play a 3-hold playoff. But the PGA rules official tapped him on the shoulder — Dustin had broken the rules. Well, that’s what the PGA says. I know there’s a rulebook for a reason, and golfers are given a “rule sheet” for every tournament, but the “spirit”…

This week, Sluggers and Slugs will cover the past week’s highlights (or low-lights if you’re a Los Angeles Dodgers fan).  We will also look at some of this week’s important match-ups, say goodbye to another team, and pick candidates for the most underrated award in baseball – Coach of the Year. Week 19 Highlights The week started off with the NL Central division leaders squaring off and Brandon Phillips giving us all some bulletin board material – calling the St. Louis Cardinals “little bitches.”  These comments fueled a bench-clearing brawl between the Cards and Cincinnati Reds.  Pitcher Johnny Cueto was…

The world’s oldest seed bank in St. Petersburg, Russia, is within a month of being destroyed.  If neither the president nor prime minster step in, this vital collection of plants and seeds will be lost forever. So what?  Why should you care about some strawberries and raspberries?  Let’s look at the reasons that Pavlovsk in particular, and biodiversity in general, are so important to our health and the health of our planet. Russia’s Proud History During the siege of Leningrad during World War II, which lasted nearly 900 days, scientists chose to lose their lives rather than eat the seeds…

The Stability Ball, often referred to as the Swiss Ball, was originally developed by chiropractors and physical therapists in Switzerland during the 1960s. It was used in patient therapies to both strengthen and stretch muscles. By creating an unstable surface, the stability ball forces you to engage your core muscles throughout each exercise or stretch in order to maintain your balance. The constant shifts to maintain your form and position result in improved balance, coordination, and flexibility. A stability ball can be used for both an intense workout and a dynamic stretch routine. Last time I gave you the tools…
