Ranger admits using Conte supplements
Rangers outfielder Marlon Byrd confirmed a Yahoo Sports report that said he is using supplements provided by BALCO founder Victor Conte, who supplied banned performance-enhancing drugs to several athletes and is linked to all-time home-run leader Barry Bonds. The relationship started 18 months ago, according to the report, and Byrd said he trusts Conte unconditionally. Byrd stressed that he only uses supplements that are approved by the National Sanitation Foundation, which is the organization that provides major-league baseball with a list of approved and banned substances.

That was my thought. Why would MLB get advice from the guys that haul away the trash?

Gee, it seems only 18 months ago that Marlon Byrd was nearly out of the league before ressurecting himself with the Rangers. Just goes to show with how lousy this team hits now that Rudy Jaramillo is no genius like everyone proclaims. A lot fo the past numbers were performance enhanced on this team. Look at the names on the reports: Canseco, Gonzales, Palmeiro, Rodriguez, Byrd, Matthews, Hairston, A-Fraud, not to mention pitchers Gagne and Rocker. The past is so dirty in Texas and all those bloated stats made Jaramillo the highest paid hitting coach. Now they can't hit their weight and strike out ten times every game. OVERRATED!!

The NFL and the WADA use the NSF too, apparently it's a big organization for product standards/certifications.

Where's the story if he only uses supplements that are approved by the organization that provides major-league baseball with a list of approved and banned substances?
Has anyone told Manny Ramirez about this particular well-know organization? Would he even give a sht if they did?

Give us something more interesting. He'd be better off admiting he's been cheating on his wife.

Conte bought up several cases of 5-Hour Energy Drink, re-labeled them, and sold them to Byrd at a 500% markup.
