[/ QUOTE ]This excuse does not work though, with as many people testing positive this year, both in the Majors and in the minor leagues, all players need to be much more careful. If Raffy did unkowningly take roids, then he is a [censored] moron. No excuses anymore.

Re: Palmiero tests positive for steroids?
[ QUOTE ]
In a prepared statement, Palmeiro said he could not explain how the steroids got into his body. "I have never intentionally used steroids. Never. Ever. Period," he said. "Ultimately, although I never intentionally put a banned substance into my body, the independent arbitrator ruled that I had to be suspended under the terms of the program." [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Palmeiro made headlines on March 17 when he vehemently denied ever taking performance-enhancing drugs during a congressional hearing on steroid use in baseball. Palmeiro's statement before Congress read as follows: "Good morning, Mr. Chairman and members of the committee. My name is Rafael Palmeiro and I am a professional baseball player. I'll be brief in my remarks today. Let me start by telling you this: I have never used steroids. Period. I don't know how to say it any more clearly than that. Never. The reference to me in Mr. Canseco's book is absolutely false. I am against the use of steroids. I don't think athletes should use steroids and I don't think our kids should use them. That point of view is one, unfortunately, that is not shared by our former colleague, Jose Canseco. Mr. Canseco is an unashamed advocate for increased steroid use by all athletes." [/ QUOTE ]

However, the MANAGER of a team betting on baseball brings up suspicion of Pete Rose throwing games.

Re: Palmiero tests positive for steroids?
Palmiero has already been quoted today as saying something to the effect that he has never, "knowingly" used performance enhancing drugs.
I HATE THIS DEFENSE...I [censored] HATE IT. At what point did we lose taking responsibility for your own actions?
