...busted and suspended for steroid use. He still claims he was unaware and doesn't understand how he could have tested positive...Hmm, thats gotta suck.

It sucks even more for all the kids who bought his jersey and looked up to him. I think we need to investigate Phizer and see if they laced his Viagra with steroids!!

I played professionally for 3 years for Kansas City and I must say I laugh when I hear these guys denying use. I for one did not ever take steroids, but if I wanted I could have got it as easy as a can of chew or a bag of sunflower seeds. The sad part about it is the scarred reputations of these players. It is one thing to knowingly take them, but then to knowingly lie takes it to a whole new level.

The saddest part of all is that he's not man enough to admit what he did. Saying he never "knowingly" ingested steroids is parsing words, at best. It's his responsibility to know everything he's putting on or in his body when playing at that level. Hell, the 23 yr old kid who got fired from our store today for a dirty piss test showed more balls that this "superstar" Palmeiro. At least the kid admitted he did it.

I knew I would get that one for sure, but truthfully I did not!! I won't say I did not think about it, but I never went through with it. What is sad is in the minors you see guys come back from the offseason alot bigger, stronger and faster and it gives you that false sense of "Needing steroids to make it to the next level!"

I have a feeling that steroids, or other performance enhancing drugs, have been around baseball for a very, very long time.
I would have to agree 100%.

You'd think a guy that testified before a congressional hearing on steroids would be a little more careful about what he ingested.
I'm sure that will come back to bite him in the ass...

That is exactly right Nord. Gagne has been on the shelf for weeks now that he cant juice. He was and is one of the biggest juicers in the game.

If you do crime you and get caught you must pay the time. Sucks because I know that much of it is recovery based, but its still worng by their standards.

we go to padres games,my kids are into it,so am I.I watched that footage last night on this guy ,then heard the phone statement he made and was kinda sickened by it.Plus he was giving Consenco crap about his book,well looks like the book may have been correct,although I havent read it.Its all about the parents,your kids rolemodels should be you,in a perfect world.My only real encounter with a proball player was Hank Blalock,texas rangers,he and his wife bought our old house last year,the nicest guy you would ever meet,he let us rent it back until our house was done,really cheap,just because he didnt want to see us in rental somewhere,,,,im just bitter cause the padres are gonna suck the rest of the year

At least now there are somewhat legitimate independent arbitrators that will actually call these guys out instead of trying to cover it up. It used to be the inconsequential no-namers that were called out and suspended to keep focus away from the top players.....now it's everyone regardless of their playing status...even future, errrrr former future hall of famers.
Fock 'em. Damn greedy liars that get big multi-million dollar contracts because they're artificially pumped up and lying to their employers & fans...even their families & kids. It's a total focken joke IMO. :burningm:
