		<description>...Yummy.  When it comes to baseball my heart may belong to another man (who I, embarrassingly enough, can identify by just his left ear), but Mikey is a solid second!

Just the fix I needed before I leave tomorrow.  I had to learn cricket because that&#039;s as close as I&#039;ll be able to get to watching baseball for almost a month.  Hopefully I&#039;ll be able to get to an internet cafe to check the latest news.  Your site is so great; you always have the most important news and goings-on.

		<description>FYI... You&#039;re right no medical test is 100% accurate.  However, they tend to combine tests to minimize that--for example, first they&#039;ll run a test that has more false positives, then one that has more false negatives, and so on.

So, he has a point, BUT... the false positive results shouldn&#039;t be the focus.  Those errors are the fault of a machine, but the way to really muck it up is to let human beings handle the results.

The key is knowing the quality of the work and the testing protocol. knowing how to explain statistics to the public... it is do-able with tests as it is, but the way careers get ruined or saved is more a question of the PR, public education and what the appropriate response to positive results would be.

The point isn&#039;t of the testing isn&#039;t the testing in and of itself, from what I understand, by the way.  The testing is in place to scare players away from doing HGH.


And yes, he&#039;s awfully handsome.  Old-school Hollywood hotness.  I&#039;ll bet he takes Handsome Guy Hormone.

But has he ever explained that demi-stache?
