Palmeiro Suspended For Steroid Use

August 1st, 2005 · No Comments

Rafael Palmeiro was suspended for 10 days for testing positive for steroids. I’m finding this to be very strange as either he’s a complete idiot or took something on accident. He really laid it on the line in front of Congress in March and this test would have been relatively recent. He’d have to be a complete moron to have purposely taken a steroid after having a Clinton/Lewinsky moment by wagging his finger at Congress. For the moment I still tend to believe Palmeiro but he could prove to be a moron. He needs to tell the world about what types of supplements he takes (I wonder if Viagra would show a postive as a banned substance), how often and anything else that might open up the story. Now, if he decides to clam up then he will look as guilty as Mark McGwire did last March.

FURTHER THOUGHTS: Why the heck would a guy who’s already got Hall of Fame numbers go and take steroids within the last 2 months. Again, is he that big of a moron?
