Soooooooooooooo Has Usada and Nsac sued Thomas Hauser yet???

[Lester Tutor]

Nope there are many things that USADA claimed were not factual such as what they were paid by TMT. Misstatements of fact are the most comon forms of libel. If USADA were telling the truth they would sue Hauser. However, they know Hauser has the original contract so they can claim he is wrong but they know that is not true.

I think he meant the iv thing...not the ****** slander lawsuit that wasted the courts time.

it did not waste Pac's time.

[Rath]

Why would they sue him? moreover it would be a difficult process to go through. He comes out with allegation and they counter it and put it to bed in the eyes of normal people...Its over and simple.

Pac did not find it a difficult process to go through.

[FeFist]

you might as well look back yourself in a mirror...

generic rhetoric is all you have here...

If I look in the mirror, I will an individual that has studied defamation of character and understand the area more than an overzealous twit on the internet.

The fact of the matter is Hauser has carefully presented his interpretation on a series of facts. He has carefully mentioned what he has heard from unknown sources as opposed to giving the information first hand.

[jqSide]

It would be oxymoronic if they sue. They're the ones that should be sued by the feds for the corrupt practices they bring to the sport.

are your eyes still good?

you need good eyes to see clearly who is staring at you back in the mirror..

and, you have to be true enough to admit that you see a stranger looking back at you..

They are too busy investigating Manny and his Toradol abuse .

http://www.nationalsarmrace.com/?p=4932

The latest salvo in the “Questionable Performance Enhancing Drug” storyline in today’s professional baseball landscape was this interesting statement from Jonathan Papelbon last week; he and other Boston teammates frequently were injected with the drug Toradol by team doctors when they were feeling “run-down” or overly fatigued in order to get a quick pick-me-up for a game. Apparently Toradol had the effect of giving players a four hour window of feeling “pretty damn good” and it was used by a portion of the Boston clubhouse. Its also in use in many other clubhouses (though apparently not in Philadelphia, who told Papelbon his Toradol days were over).

Ok, how is Toradol not a Performance Enhancing Drug? It certainly seems to qualify based on WADA’s “Three Criteria” for PEDs:
1.The capacity to enhance performance (clearly, as discussed by Papelbon)
2.Use can result in negative health consequences (absolutely; Jon Lester suffered some of them and had a serious internal bleeding issue, and now Boston is reportedly reviewing its use of the drug)
3.Violate the spirit of sports. (opinion based .. but after reading what Toradol can do, how can you NOT argue that its use violates the “spirit of sports?”)

In an intriguing feature included in tonight’s new Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel (HBO, 10o p.m. ET/PT), Andrea Kremer explores the NFL’s “magic potion” that “masks pain from head to toe.”


The wonder drug goes by the name of Toradol. It’s not a narcotic, it’s not addictive, it’s legal to use.
And plenty of players are using it.

Former NFL center Jeremy Newberry tells Kremer that, when he played for the 49ers, players lined up for a dose of Toradol before games. “I’ve seen lines of 20 or 30 of them standing there waiting for a shot,” Newberry.

But the Super Bowl? With little hesitance, Holt asked for and received a Toradol shot.

"I felt like new money," Holt said. "You get that shot and you feel like you're 18, 19 years old. It's like a sheet of armor. I was a new man."
Several hours later, after making seven catches for 109 yards, including a 9-yard touchdown grab, Holt was also a Super Bowl champion with the Rams edging the Titans 23-16.

Everything about the day felt great. Until the Toradol faded.
"It was very, very, very painful once that medication wore off," Holt said. "When you get that Toradol shot, you feel like you have a whole new body on you.

I don't think USADA not suing Hauser carries any more meaning than Hauser not suing them ... they made claims in their refutation that his report contained false information, which in legal theory smears his reputation as a journalist, but he isn't suing them for harming his reputation.

Lack of a lawsuit on either part isn't the same as affirmation of the other side. That's just silly.

What!? Why the hell would Hauser sue USADA for saying his facts are wrong? If that was standard practice, the majority of journalists would sue anyone who opposed what they say or write.
