its because the test in 2003 was supposed to be kept anonymous, but now the results of it are being leaked to the media.

What is hilarious about it, is that George Mitchell kept Red Sox players off of his "Mitchell Report" about baseball players who allegedly juiced. Now everyone is realizing that he is a joke. It was only a matter of time until this all came out.

Congrats George Mitchell!

Also, did anyone see Ortiz's 'playing stupid' when he claimed that IN HIS YOUTH he drank protein shakes at a GNC in the Dominican Republic and that he does not know if it would have caused a positive test if there were things in his shake. Rightttttt, Ortiz couldnt even come up with a reasonable excuse.

Yay, keep going after the guys who aren't bothering anyone. Let those people on the streets trying to score their next rock or fix keep on keepin on. Sad, I swear. I could care less if these guys are on gear.

Me neither. Youd think after all this steroid coverage, people would be more educated on the subject....sad

so true. instead they just keep thinking that steroids magically helps batters hit the ball squarely and turns guys who can't hit into home run machines.

This will do one thing for sure,anybody on that list can pretty much kiss the Hall of fame good bye.The people who have votes have all pretty much said they will not vote for anyone with a positive test.

It won't but it will help put a warning track shot about 10 rows deep.Also gives advantage with recovery in a grueling 162 game season.Also helps keep the strength and size built up in the off season.So in many ways it helps.

that's true, but a lot of times the media has been saying about how it turned a guys career around and i've always asked "how does steroids allow you to put the bat on the ball or be able to read a pitch better?" its just sad that very few writers and others with votes will ever vote for any of these guys when it comes to the HOF, especially seeing as this time period has already been deemed the steroid era and both the batters and pitchers were using.

Exactly.

so true. instead they just keep thinking that steroids magically helps batters hit the ball squarely and turns guys who can't hit into home run machines.

Just like the guys who think they'll look like Dorian Yates if they take steroids.

Not gonna happen. lol
