Byrd has been working with Victor Conte, said this in ST ("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.") and then tests positive for Tamoxifen -- its brand name in the United States is Nolvadex -- a medicine that blocks the effects of the estrogen hormone in the body and is used to treat breast cancer in women or men and is used by steroid users to prevent the growth of breast tissues in men and to stop post-cycle crashes.
Sounds fishy as all heck to me, Marlon.San Francisco Giants, World Series Champions in 2010, 2012, and 2014!!!

"I made an inexcusable mistake," Byrd said. "Several years ago, I had surgery for a condition that was private and unrelated to baseball. Last winter, I suffered a recurrence of that condition and I was provided with a medication that resulted in my positive test. Although that medication is on the banned list, I absolutely did not use it for performance-enhancement reasons.San Francisco Giants, World Series Champions in 2010, 2012, and 2014!!!

Not because of my love for the game; because of all the stitches in my head.

It was pretty stupid that he used em but I gotta give him some credit for admitting to it."(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball. I always thought he was more sinned against than sinning." -- Connie Mack
"I have the ultimate respect for Whitesox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Redsox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country."--Jim Caple, ESPN (Jan. 12, 2011)
