I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
With all the details you've given us, tommy, I am rooting for you to kick their asses.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
A lame excuse, but it does point out the problem with the hysteria about steroids. A lot of players - especially bullpen pitchers - were taking steroids in the nineties because it helps repair muscle damage more quickly. That is, it does have a beneficial and defensible effect as well as as performance enhancing.
As I understand it, the repair of muscle damage is a big part of the appeal of steroids. You can train much harder and more frequently if your recovery is shorter.

I think its time to fib, Tommyrot.
Send them a letter saying "I've consulted an attorney and have been advised that you have no damn case and that I'll win if I fight you. I'd rather, however, just leave at the end of my lease. If you would like me to leave before then you can buy me out."
But more legalishly

“Not dead yet!”
I was just reading about the muscle repair issue with respect to Rick Ankiel. Back when he was still pitching, he had Tommy John surgery and as part of his recovery, his physician had used HGH to aid in recovery, but at the time, it was not a banned substance and Ankiel has been open about it, so he never suffered any penalties or backlash because of it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And when you send that letter Trudy's recommending, be sure to cc it to someone at every tenants' rights group you've spoken with (if you can get specific names, that's even better), and a lawyer. (I had to do something similar once, and I cc'd a tax attorney friend of my mom's--the rental co. won't know who the lawyer is, it'll just scare them stupid to see that menacing "Esq." at the end of the cc list.)

I didn't realize pot counted as a performance-enhancing drug. (Re: Manny Ramirez).
I guess it could be for Kobayashi...
I finally out-stubborned AT&T and their assorted ill-informed collection agencies after a year of demanding erroneous payments for phone service at my former address. Long story short, while I can be worn down to the point of surrender by apathetic bureacracy, people who slur my character and make threats when I'm in the right better plan on wearing thermal underwear when they collect from me because Hell will have frozen over.
