Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 2003

[Spidey-Bat]

As far as I'm concerned, people who leak this kind of confidential information are no better than the guys who did the steroids themselves and that person needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

That's a waste of time and resources. There are more important things than prosecuting a guy who leaked 1 name from a report that had no repercussions on those who failed the test.

It can't be as big a waste of time and money as prosecuting 1 guy because you think he lied under oath about knowingly using steriods.

 

[Soundwave]

I do....get em all out....there is no getting past this unless all the cards are out on the table

None of the names should be released. These guys have a right to their privacy. They took the test under the impression that it was supposed to be anonymous and confidential.

Who are you referring to?

Who are you referring to?

Barry Bonds

He did commit perjury and obstruction of justice during a criminal investigation of BALCO. It's not like they're charging him with perjury b/c he lied in the congressional hearings like Palmeiro and Sosa.

^ to a grand jury no less. That's a felony.

Tough ****....the minute you willingly step in front of a camera, whatever right to privacy you think you have has gone out the window....

Do they have tested from Sosa? He wasnt in the Mitchell report.

When I was watching Alex's interview yesterday I was annoyed with how he said he wanted to start helping kids and doing good things for them. I guess the only way for him to do something good for others is to F*** up so bad that you'll do anything to try an clean up your image.

I do believe A-rods always been active charity wise. Least he used to be.

I think I remember seeing something but its been so long since I stayed in touch with Baseball 24/7 but I really am annoyed that he says hes gonna do stuff for kids whens in the spotlight for the wrong reasons

 

[Addendum]

He did commit perjury and obstruction of justice during a criminal investigation of BALCO. It's not like they're charging him with perjury b/c he lied in the congressional hearings like Palmeiro and Sosa.

Technically, Palmiero didn't lie. The hearings were in March of '05, and the positive result on a drug test was in August.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

He definitely took steroids before then.

 

[Addendum]

And aside from Canseco's book where he claims to have injected Palmiero, where is the proof?

 

[Spidey-Bat]

40-year-old men do not start taking steroids 5 months after they testified in front of Congress.

 

[Addendum]

So you don't have proof, just an accusation from Canseco.

Weak.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Do you really think a 40-year-old man would start taking steroids 5 months after he testified in front of Congress? Besides, look at his statistics. His best year was in 1999 at the age of 35. It was in Texas which has had a lot of juicers.

 

[Addendum]

Oh I'm sure you thought Palmeiro was taking 'roids long before Canseco wrote his book

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Do I think Palmeiro was taking steroids before 2005? Yes.

 

[BlackLantern]

same here and bash Canseco all you want but most of what he has said has panned out....to the letter....

 

[Excel]

Canseco has proven to be extremely knowledgeable. Everything said has come true.

 

[Addendum]

And where have I bashed Canseco? All I've done is express my skepticism and rejection of allegations as evidence of guilt.

So you're not okay with players using illegal means(steroids) to advance their careers but you are okay with reporters and federal agents using illegal methods to advance theirs? The woman who broke this story got her info illegally. Those test results were not supposed to be leaked and it could have been someone in the government who leaked it. Are you really okay with anyone's confidential health info being made public knowledge?

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Getting this kind of info is neither hazardous to your health nor anything new. Journalists have been doing it forever. The union was supposed to have destroyed these test results anyway.
