ESPN: Marlon Byrd banned 50 games

Outfielder Marlon Byrd,... has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs.

... Byrd was released by the Boston Red Sox earlier this month.

... Byrd admitted that [he] was the only player in baseball who still worked with Victor Conte. His Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative was at the center of the steroid scandal surrounding Barry Bonds, among others.

I wonder how many others there are who are still using PEDS and managing to get past the current tests?

From Spring Training last year-

"I'm always going to watch what I take. I'm not going to say I have a bull's-eye on my back, but I think a lot of people are waiting for me to get my first positive test and miss 50 games. They'd like that just so they can say, 'We told you so.' I know that won't happen. I know I'm clean. I know the supplements I take are clean. I'm going to make sure of that."

We told you so.

In the heyday the reports I have heard were approaching 85%. Now? I would not suppose more than 20% get away with anything that really enhances performance. Unless they are blood doping, and then you know that that can be hidden

Did you know Adam Jones and Robert Andino are in charge of keeping the list of current suspended players in MLB?

They just put a Byrd on it.
