Who was juiced as well, like 80% of MLB was at the time, if not more.

R and B, I think that is on the low side. I don't trust any of these bastards, anymore.

Mark Grace may be the only good/ above average player I am sure about.
I think you would have to actually workout to have steroids do you any good. The only thing grace ever worked out was a pack of smokes, a six-pack and the occasional slumpbuster.
I don't think Greg Maddux did either, but I am not as sure about him as I am about Grace.

Thank god, we were running dangerously low on steroid talk. I understand that it's pretty significant news that he tested positive, but I think as a nation we have steroid fatigue. Yeah it's bad. A-Rod...Boooooooo Next story.

It just adds to a miserable offseason for Alex Rodriguez. :( Yankee fans booed "A-Rod" at the end of last season, when #13 kept making outs in the White Sox last visit to old Yankee Stadium last September, and he's always a constant target whenever they fall short of winning a World Series title in the eyes & ears of Yankee fans in New York alone. There's also the nasty divorce, the Madonna rumors, and that in the Joe Torre book, he's referred to as "A-Fraud". While he won't face disciplinary action because MLB lacked a steroids policy in 2003, I think Rodriguez's Hall of Fame ticket appears as good as gone.

I think you're right, it could be even higher. I'm not a baseball fan but I often hear people say that Fred McGriff was also clean. I don't think Maddux ever had a crazy fastball, did he? Randy Johnson was so skinny but he had bad skin and a horrible temper. I just expect football players to use them or HGH, I don't see how you can't. Those guys are also full of painkillers and speed and rightfully so. And not being a baseball fan, I didn't understand why baseball fans cared so much about the whole issue. I was in high school when the whole McGuire-Sosa thing was going on and it was obvious to me they were juiced. It's the same people that feed you "Americas Pastime" and wax poetic for hours on the history of the game that are so shocked by these stories. Stuck in a time warp and either to naive or in denial to look at what's really going on. But then I watch LeBron James and wonder how he gained 30 pounds of muscle, it seems odd.

This will be huge, as I am sure most of us already know. Given the Bonds trial that is impending, I dont see steroids being out of the news for a bit of time.

This being said, I think if ARod came out in the news earlier, this would have been even bigger then it is right now. Sadly, too many people are sick of the steriods talk, from fans to owners to players to the media. Hopefully this gets people's blood boiling and action continues more then what I expect it will.

Maybe this will finally force Congress to stop this petty discussion on a stimulus package and get back to their real job of cleaning up pro sports. :wink:

Absolutely false. He is already a lock hall of famer, even with steroid abuse.

Seriously, do you think that MLB will allow the Hall of Fame to exist without voters voting ANYONE in, year after year, because of steroid concerns? They'll come up with some guidelines around them (if it becomes obvious that the writers are trying to make a point by withholding votes.)

And Clemens and Bonds get in also.
