Nice going. No wonder dude is unstoppable !

It's all downhill from here.

LMAO did anyone not see this coming?

I remember mentioning it to SteveO in t he off season. Everyone attributed his success to his "workout"......I guess he was working out with Barroid Bonds :)

i remember how the local press hyped up his "workouts" and how he was supposed to be even better this year.

great. though im not surprised.

Le sad



we'll see what happens when all the facts are out.

i wonder if he just started juicing or if this has been an ongoing thing

hes probably been juicing since high school just like every other NFL player

It was the "supplements" he took. :rofl:

Where do they sell these "supplements" ?

Don't be so quick to judge. The facts have not been reveled yet. This guy has a ton of focus on him, I highly doubt he purposely did anything to jeopardize his entire career.

PLEAZZZZE. Yeah right. Bonds , Giambi and Sheff also have used the same lame excuse. It was almost hilarious to hear him and his lawyer shit through their mouths. I bet we could test the entire GNC store and Nutri sport etc.....and nothing on the counter has steroids in it. No company would put their name on the line selling that. It's a lame excuse for a roider who got caught. I'm just pissed the penalties in Baseball and the NFL are so lame.

think about this, EVEN Balco's otc supplements like ZMA NEVER tested positive for steroids, and Balco supplied countless athletes with hardcore stuff...

I think the worst part is when we hear from the Lawyers that represent these guys. It makes more comical than anything. It would be more believable if only the player spoke. Once the paid LIAR starts dribbling , you know the guy is guilty. I also read that the Chargers had knowledge of possible roid use , before they even signed him.

that was Castillo, who tested positive for steroids when he was in college, before the chargers drafted him. looks like san diego's shittiest team is becoming another version of the oakland raiders..bunch of cheaters and criminals

Why doesn't he tell us the name of the supplement so we can go pick it off the shelf and independently test it ? That would clear up all confusion and totally exonarate him.

that is a good question

I had a chance to watch the game around a bunch of Charger fans. These are the same people that yell at Barroid Bonds at Padre games. They are the same people now spinning and making excuses for Merriman. Hilarious. The announcer even mentioned he was surprised at how the fans cheered him on during the game. I better never hear anyone in SD say crap about any other team or player.....and substance abuse. This is from the town that gave you Alan Wiggins, Lamar Hoyt, Ken Caminitti, and now the Chargers defense.

Did the effect of the roids wear off after 4 weeks ? He will be in uniform Sunday and ready to sport his custom muscles.

i wouldn't be surprised if he had a monster game against buffalo next week

He's had 4 weeks of full "supplements" .

i wonder if they test you more after you get caught

i wonder if they test you more after you get caught
i'm pretty sure that they do and it's random as well.

He only took supplements. Get off his back ! :)

Not to mention he had 4 weeks to heal all his achs and wounds.
