SI: Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in '03...

I blame this on George Bush and his willingness to trash the constitution

 

I agree that the entire thing is a joke Fen. The players would be crazy, or insanely stupid, to trust any promises made by anyone.

All of this is just more evidence that the moralizing about people like Bonds and McGwire needs to end forever. Put them both in the HOF. Put A-Rod in the HOF. Stop trying to pretend that some people hit home runs virtuously while others did not.

BTW, way to go Gene Orza, tipping off players when a steroid test was about to pop up. You certainly can't say he wasn't looking out for the best interests of his members. Until they die of massive heart failure at age 50, that is.

 

Love this quote from story :

"Unlike Bonds, Rodriguez has never played under suspicion that his performance was enhanced by drugs, and he is not expected to be named as part of the Mitchell Report. The knock on Rodriguez was one of far less substance: that the 10-year, $252 million contract Texas gave him seven years ago made him a mercenary, a reputation his agent, Scott Boras, enhanced when he announced during Game 4 of the World Series that Rodriguez was opting out of that contract with the Yankees."


Once again Vercucci show us that he had a real nose for the steroid era stories

 

The whole 'investigation' has been such a farce from the start. How many names have already been revealed through leaks and the Mitchell ordeal? And just now, this comes out? 104 names, and only ARod revealed this time?

And now what? You have two people 'familiar' with the evidence and two more 'with knowledge' of the results. Why even bother to seal the evidence if everyone who sees it has the compelling need to leak it?

 

It's going to be hilarious to watch the Steinbrenner Boys claim A-Rod is not a real Yankee, and that they should be able to void his contract because this comes as a total surprise to them.

And please, please, please let Curt Schilling, the King of All Douches, say something dickish about A-Rod, only to have it revealed two weeks later he was mainlining stanzobol for the second half of his career.

 

Lost in the excitement of ARod is the real story - Selena Roberts finaly brings something of value to SI

 

btw, however they got the story, great job by Selena Roberts and David Epstein. Glad to see SI can still break some news.

(edit, I see Boom said it first, he types a lot faster...)

 

I'm with you on this.

What I want to know is which players tested positive for Valtrex. If we are going to be salacious and disregard any semblance of privacy rights - lets get the juicy stuff (no pun intended)

 

The timing of this--in the middle of the Bonds hearing--is just too convenient to overlook.

Fenian's comment about Novitzsky...is this new leak (come on, FOUR SOURCES revealing sealed evidence??) meant to bolster the public perception of 'even ARod did it, so Bonds has to be guilty too'?

Fishy.

 

Jesus, night now Jose Canseco's smile must reach around his entire head.

 

104 players, and only A-Rod's name is leaked, and now? Definitely fishy.
