"Roids" in Baseball!

Anonymous · 02-23-2005, 02:53 PM

Anyone had the chance to read Jo$e Can$eco's book yet? Anyone see Barry Bonds media sessions the other day?

I think we have the wrong messenger in Jo$e but lets face it. These guys were / are on the juice!

Bleh, when did athletes become like pop stars?

There should be a *MUCH* smaller salary cap. Maybe they should have half of their salaries paid by fan donations. I bet players would care more about the game, and less about fast cars, fast women, and drugs.

I seriously doubt Pudge was on the juice. Seriously. I mean come on, what's the point of doing something illegal when you intend to stay with the Rangers and you have no chance whatsoever of going to the playoffs. I think Canseco is full of dung.

On Jan. 13, Major League Baseball and the Players Association announced a tougher testing policy in response to continuing revelations about steroid use among the game's best players in connection to the BALCO investigation. Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield all reportedly told a grand jury in San Francisco that they knowingly or unknowingly used steroids

You don't tell it to a grand jury unless it is the truth. They had nothing to gain, and a lot to lose if they were not telling the truth. I think Bonds used steroids, but did not realize what he was taking (just like he said). I also believe him when he says he is clean now.

I agree that Canseco is the wrong messanger for this. The problem with the book is that there are places where he's obviously lying (a 3.9 40 yard-dash?) so you don't know what's truth and what's fiction. But I don't believe Bonds' story about not-knowing. Everything written and said about him suggests he's a control freak, and combine that with all the money he has on the line and I don't think he'd take anything that he didn't know about. Maybe this year with the new testing policy we'll actually get some names and some proof and not just conjecture.
