PALMEIRO SUSPENDED FOR STEROIDS
Posted By: PHISHERMAN
No, you are not in denial. I think we may be rushing to judgement a bit because baseball hasn't identified the substance he tested positive for, but since he adamantly denied steroid use in his statement, we can infer that that is what he tested + for. What an idiot he is if it is true... |

I believe every word that Jose Canseco put into that book regarding others taking steroids. If it were false we would see numerous lawsuits for libel. Bo Jackson was accused of using steroids by some small California paper and he threatened a lawsuit against them and the paper retracted. Thus far not a single player named by Canseco has threatened a libel suit against him.....that speaks volumes to me. |

Why sue Canseco? He has no significant assets. If one sued him it would just draw attention and that is what he wants. |

You sue to clear your name not to get rich. You make Jose Canseco publicly retract the comments he made about you in the book. The only reason they're not suing is because it's true. Palmeiro tests positive - check, McGwire all but admits to steroid use in front of Congress - check, Ivan Rodriguez shows up to spring training 25 pounds lighter than he was last year - check. I know that Canseco is a jerk, but have any of these guys given any reason as to why he's lying? None that I've seen. |

Since it seems most stories about Palmeiro are leaving this out....Stanozolol(Winstrol) can stay in your system for 18 months so this might be a result of use in the past. It is a potent anabolic steroid but will not put much water weight on you and therefore Palmeiro could stay relatively the same size while on this drug. It does increase red blood cell count which helps with stamina and endurance so this could be the benifit he was after. |

Between the ingrate cheater junkie athletes who treat fans like crap and lie to Congress (of course, lying and Congress are somewhat related concepts), the greedy owners who knowingly field crap teams while jacking up prices on everything, and bad television coverage , I've stopped watching baseball entirely this year. I follow two teams: Yankees and Dodgers. The Yankees are soulless hacks. The Dodgers have been decimated in the interests of signing risky players who are willing to back-load salaries so that McCourt can refi his purchase price and then develop the land adjacent to the stadium. As far as tv goes, memo to Bud and Fox: I don't want to see up a player's nose, the manager looking bored or some idiot fan's reactions to what is happening on the field; ever hear of showing the field, you idiots? |

It should also be pointed out that if he was caught with Stanozolol in his system, it virually eliminates the "I didnt know" defense. even if you want to believe that a professional athlete didnt know what he was putting into his system, that excuse doesnt hold water since Stanozolol reportedly is not found in any dietary supplements. |

Let me first say that I do believe steriods should be banned. I think the damage done by dangerous drugs goes beyond the athletes and can be found all the way into grade school these days. |

As always, times are different now. Baseball has a much greater impact on kids and adults than it formerly did, because in part your child could earn serious income, even from just his signature! |

I was under the impression that this forum was only for the discussion of vintage baseball cards. What gives with this modern day event about steroids and all these names? We can say what ever we want to say about these modern day players, but there is only TWO TRUE HOME RUN HITTER THAT IS HANK AARON & BABE RUTH! FORGET THE REST THESE TWO ARE STILL THE BEST! |

If you click on that little link at the top that says "FAQ's" you will see that this sort of stuff is permitted by board participants, occasionally....As for home run hitters I agree with you. |

The inherent problem with MLB's 10 day penalty is that steroids stay in the body for weeks to over six months. In other words, MLB's system okays players to play baseball while on steroids and while retaining the physical benefits they gained from steroids (The benefits don't evaporate in 10 days). |

well, I'll go out on a limb and say that Ken Griffey Jr was also a pure HR hitter and were it not for his injuries, his numbers would reflect it. Otherwise, I think A-Rod is pretty pure and may in fact be the next one to go the distance if Bonds flares out. And I don't take a lot of joy in saying that, cause I can'ts stands A-Rod. |
