Rocker admits steroid use, says Selig looked the other way

You guys are missing the point. The story here isn't so much that Selig or baseball in general knew and did nothing. It's that Rocker is saying doctors hired by baseball and the players union were actively helping players (aiding and abetting, as it were) perform the illegal act of taking steroids for non-medical purposes. Isn't that the big bombshell here? Well, that and A-Rod's name coming up.

 

Steroids (yawn) are soooooo yesterday. The kids are all into illegal taping of practices these days.

 

Yes, doctors trying to keep people from killing themselves. What a scandal!

Seriously, it wouldn't surprise me to find out that doctors and/or trainers who suspected someone to warn that person about particularly dangerous types of usage, which is what I got from the article. Doctors treat people with all sorts of unhealthy behaviors. If they can't get them to stop that unhealthy behavior, the next step is to try and modify the behavior so it's less harmful. Doctors aren't cops nor should they be.

 

Just because the messenger is a moron doesn't mean his message is completely off. Yeah, Canseco's pretty much a major douche, but he wasn't wrong about everything he said.

 

Canseco said yesterday or the day before that Clemens is innocent and McNamee is a liar. We're to the point now where we have morons refuting morons.

 

Seriously. Just what we need. Another admitted cheat and proven jackass trying to use Alex Rodriguez's name to get a little of the spotlight on himself.

 

Probably just the beginning. Radomski went on probation two days ago so he's probably already shopping for a publisher.

 

Give him a chance. He was quiet because he was in legal jeopardy until about two days ago when he was sentenced. In fact, it was reported that he planned to plead the Fifth Amendment if asked to testify before Congress without immunity. I'd be very surprised if he takes a pass on his 15 minutes.

 

Actually, he's pretty much been 100 percent right on everything he's said...

 

A lot of what he said was take rumors that most of us have heard and put them in print with no consideration at all of being able to back up his claims, including accusations based purely on observation from with no real inside knowledge.

Now he has taken to making claims about Alex Rodriguez in an attempt to drum up more interest even though I doubt he has any real knowledge there.

This isn't some guy we misjudged. This is an admitted steroid cheat who has had other drug and legal problems. This is a man who, if I remember the timing correctly, "wrote" much of his book while he was under house arrest. This is also a man with an axe to grind against Major League Baseball. Remember, he claims his career ended prematurely because he was unfairly blackballed. Never mind that everybody knew he was on steroids, he was a disruption in the clubhouse, he was always hurt and he could no longer run, hit for average or play defense.

I don't care if some of the shit he threw against the wall stuck. I still don't trust a word that scumbag has to say.
