Such a shame really - so much talent but just didn't think that he could do as well without a little 'help' :wink:

I'll bet he's not going to see a day of suspension by MLB either :lol:

Well, since, per the article:

Baseball's drug policy prohibited the use of steroids without a valid prescription since 1991, but there were no penalties for a positive test in 2003

on what grounds would the suspend?

Yeah, I know... it sucks... but then, A-Rod leads a charmed life.

Man I was really hoping that he was clean, since he has the best shot at catching Bonds I wanted someone clean to get it. What stats can we trust from the last 15 years?

The sad fact is, every top tier player's stats are in question... whether clean or not...

I know, a whole generation of baseball is now almost ruined and questioned because of all this steroid stuff. I hope players like Manny, Pujols, and Teixeira don't get mentioned or accused of any of this. It would be nice to know or at least think that some top players like them did it the right way.

That's pretty much right on.

At least Frank Howard was clean...

I hope...

at least its kind of obvious that he didnt take as much as Bonds.. just look how much bigger Bonds is, his head is the size of a basketball for crying out loud.

Ah, yes... the "he's only a partial cheater" defense.

Kind of like being only a "little" pregnant...

Talk about another steriod use, player that got caught with, his pants down! :twisted:

I used to care, but now, I feel like everyone was juiced, and if that is the case, there's no advantage except skill and talent. If A-rod amped up and hits a home run off an amped up Roger Clemens, then it was a level playing field and A-Rod got the best of it.
My 2 cents

I demand the release of the other names on the list, whether it's really 103 individuals or just 60 or so that tested positive twice or more.
I have no problem vilifying gay-Rod...but I want everybody to be subjected to the same scrutiny, even if they're not currently in pursuit of a hallowed record.
