Law suit against SMRTL and the MLB regarding oral turinabol (same amount as Jones)

[UsernameLOL]

https://www.classaction.org/media/barrera-v-major-league-baseball-et-al.pdf

Cliffs:

- Tres Barrera (Baseball player) tests positive for oral turinabol metabolite m3 (same as Jon Jones).

- He tests positive for 10 pg/ml

- His test history

- Dr. Eichner opined in front of the MLB that detection window would be about 50 days and that Barrera's positive test was likely from exposure between July 2019 and January 2020

- Barrera's claims this runs completely counter to the Jones arbitration

- Dr. Eichner later recants his opinion and admits that it is possible for the metabolite to stay in someones system for at least 3 years

- Barrera again points out the testimony in front of the UFC and his testimony in front of the MLB run counter to each other

Will be interesting to see how this lawsuit plays out. From my point of view it seems like Eichner is making contradictory claims but I could be wrong. There could be some (relevant) nuances that I'm missing.

Sounds like Cabrera's been hanging out with Picto.

Baseball was better with steroids anyway... actually watchable.

Obligatory

It’s Felipe “Tres” Barrera....not Cabrera.

Confused him with some other baseball that got suspended for steroids. My bad. Fixed.

 

[Captain Herb]

He needs to claim he was hanging out with Jon Jones type people, powerlifting and doing a lot of tbol prior to 2016, when he was first tested. Maybe come up with some dick pill receipts, etc. Crying helps.

Melky Cabrera? The bonehead who tried to set up a fake website to show where he ordered tainted supplements? Lol that was such an idiotic move.

Sammy Soso and Mark McSmash agree. That was actually the last few years I paid attention to baseball.

I think the fact in this case is that he tested positive. Regardless of when he took it, he took it.

MLB isn't going to play games like UFC

yeeeeahhhh butty

 

[Deleted member 512089]

So basically we got proof that the USADA doctor either has lied to protect Jon Jones or is totally incompetent

*magically doesn't speak English in front of congress*


Also, congress has more important shit to worry about.

But then it does mean that Jon Jones took it too and the UFC corrupted USADA into covering Jones and giving him a pass.

While Sosa (So-so) might have needed the juice, McGwire didn't.

He hit 49 HRs in his first full season, as a skinny little kid. He always had power, the juice just helped him hit a few extra a year.

The plaintiff contends that he ingested before employment (3+ years) and therefore cannot be punished and references Dr. Eichner's statements from the Jones arbitration which run counter to Dr. Eichner's initial statements from the Barrera testimony. At least that's the way I see it.

Edit: as a side note there are no long term excretory studies on oral turinabol so I don't know what "objective scientific evidence" they are referring to. Maybe they are referring to his test history, in that case they are using circular logic.

Did anyone summon @dim_ yet?

My opinion on this has changed. Contradictory statements can also come from the science behind those statements not being foolproof. What is possible and what is likely. So you get these long-winded cases.

Choosing to go that route is a waste of time. What you put in your body is your responsibility. If you can't prove it's a tainted supplement, that's on you. Arbitration is not needed. You test positive and you get the same penalty across the board. Makes things much more simple.
