OT: Arod Tests Positive

This actually sucks. I don't like a-rod, don't like anything about him as a person, but he was one of those guys who just produced as a player. Seemed like he was one of the few guys who got their accomplishments off of striaght talent and no bullsh*t steroid crap.

Wheres the proof? Im not saying he didnt juice, he probably did, but "a source told SI.com." Those tests are confidential and cant be talked about, so basically nobody can confirm that he cheated other than sources and hearsay and a likely Canseco interview that will come sometime this week.

I believe the results were released because the government took control of the tests when they got involved in the Balco investigation. I don't know why it took so long for this to go public though.

Another black eye on baseball. A-Rod pretty much lied to the nation on "60 Minutes" a year ago when he said he's never taken steroids. Congrats A-Roid.

I could see Lee on them. Definitely during the Dusty years. In 04 he increased his homerun total almost 50% going from 32 to 46, then was 'injured' the following year. Smells like the Bonds injury trick. Ok I"m getting carried away here with speculation, but its fun.

How convenient would it be to blame his power outage on a wrist injury.

This really came as a shock to me when I heard Arod did the roids. I've never been a big fan of his, but I've always believed he did it legitimately.
