| Mike Cameron Suspended For 25 Games
Audio (it'll open an external player)
by Marty Caswell- Mike Cameron has been an integral part of the San Diego Padres both on and off the field since he was traded by the New York Mets in 2005 and his value in the clubhouse is unquestionable.
But Cameron, who is expected to file for free agency any day, dropped a bombshell on the Scott & BR show today, announcing he has been suspended by MLB for 25 games for testing for a banned substance. Cameron reiterated it was not a steroid, and said the hardest part for him is the hit on his previously unblemished reputation and having to explain this to his family and teammates. But Cameron said it was important to speak to the fans of San Diego.
Padres CEO Sandy Alderson released this statement: "Mike has been a valuable member of the Padres over the last two seasons who has been respected for his contributions on the field, his stature in the clubhouse and his involvement in the San Diego community."
"Accordingly, the Padres are extremely disappointed that Mike has tested positive for a stimulant banned by MLB's drug policy. Nonetheless, the Padres staunchly support that policy and hope that Mike's suspension serves as a reminder that performance-enhancing drugs have no place in professional sports." | |

| What an idiot! If you want to take speed, go see ANY shrink and tell them you can't concentrate. They'll give you all the drugs you want. I tried that last year. For a long, boring story about me read the spoiler. - Spoiler:
Unfortunately the stuff doesn't make you less lazy. I quit taking it after a couple months. Anyone that knows me knows I clearly do not have ADD. I'm too calm as it is. I told the shrink that I thought I needed some and she asked me if I had problems when I was a little kid being hyper...I said no. She asked if I was hyper now, I said no. She asked if I had trouble in school growing up...I said no. She asked if I did now, I said no although I'd like to do better. She asked if had trouble concentrating when I study, I said only if I'm trying to play videogames or watch TV or do something else at the same time. She said I clearly had ADHD and drugs would help. I find it funny though because if you look at the DSM-IV-TR (Diagnotic and Statistical Manual Version 4 Text Revision) I don't even come close to meeting the criteria - especially the one in bold letters stating symptoms must have originally appeared by age 6. She concluded I wasn't suicidal or depressed or bipoloar or schizophrenic or something else so I either had no psychological problems or ADHD. If I didn't have problems why would I be seeing her? That's why I got the drugs. And think, she doesn't have to do anything or follow the DSM-IV-TR and she gets paid $30,000 or so a month. The only real problem I have she didn't even address - I don't like needles being stuck in me. Look at the criteria for a phobia and you need like 2-3 things from a list. I meet every single thing on the list. Every time I get a shot I throw up and pass out afterwards....It's kind of funny actually!
