I’ve had some reasonable results from a product known as Natural Energy Max, It did take some time but I think this is always going to be the case with legal products. Since utilizing it though, the results have been steady and I’ve really gained from it. They’re offering a free trial currently so it’d be a good time to check it out. It’s at http://bit.ly/itsNRG

I guess the label wasn’t clear enough to him…
6-OXO (3;6;17-androstenetrione) 300 mg

Just another lesson to you youngsters, stay in school and learn to read.

Fair enough. There was a lot of nonsense with how the story has been told.

Thanks for the clarification.

Patrick, when this post was written, the sources said androstenedione. Now that it’s known to be androstenetrione there is an obvious difference.

This does not contain the andro that McGwire used. Its androstenetrione in oxo6, McGwire was using androstendione.

Different chemicals, please don’t be lazy and say ‘andro’. Use the full name.

More like good business. Ever since McGwire got caught with it, the uneducated out there went on a craze for it without knowing what it is. Probably trying to take advantage of that.

And it’s not marketed towards professional athletes, just to people who workout.

I think you might be reading too much into this. Basically, Romero is a victim. The MLBPA failed him, Major League Baseball failed him, and the trainer and the nutritionist failed him. Romero did everything he was supposed to do when it comes to using these supplements — and every single baseball player uses supplements — and he got victimized by an incompetent system.

MLB is essentially making an example out of Romero. It’s unfortunate because they’re toying with someone’s reputation and livelihood, not to mention calling into question the validity of the world championship just won by his team. I don’t think you could ask Major League Baseball to handle the issue of PED’s any more poorly.

Exactly, it would be poor marketing. But if a player goes to someone being paid to evaluate supplements and determine if they are safe to use, I would fully expect that employee to investigate whether any of these banned substances are included in the supplements. Something very fishy happened here.
