And as for the amount of amphetamines used in MLB, how many people do you know who drink over 5 cups of coffee per day? It's the same addiction. (In case you're wondering, I basically avoid all caffeine all the time and only have it on very rare occasions) It must be noted that since he was suspended, this was his SECOND time getting CAUGHT.

I'm guessing it impacts more the older guys than the younger ones too.. Maybe that's why the Mets ran out of steam in September. Which means in this new era of "clean" baseball, the younger teams are going to have an advantage in terms of stamina and being able to go the distance. I agree.

So this must be his second violation. Bonds reportedly did fail an amphetamines test once and got a warning. That is correct. So this must be his second violation.

If it's a 25-game suspension, that means amphetamines. Not that big of a deal, IMO. At least not as bad as steroids. I don’t think they test for pot or coke.

So if this is his second offense, not sure whether or not we would have heard about a warning.
