Rafael Palmeiro suspended for steroids

The guy who adamantly denied it to congress and was all for a zero-tolerance policy. In his defense, he says he never "knowingly" took in a banned substance, but in this climate they are going to be looking for sacrificial lamb to show that they are going to be serious about the roids, and since Barry Bonds is not playing now, and Sammy Sosa is mysteriously shrinking in both home run production and physical size, rafael will fit just fine.

The thing is - how could you not be extraordinarily careful about the supplments you are taking now if you are a pro ballplayer?

He didn't even look like a juicer at least. Sosa, Bonds, Giambi, McGwire - anyone whose seen drugs and their effects firsthand knows there was never a question about those guys being artificial.

the rammifications will be much further reachign than the 10 day suspension. he stands a good chance of losing his hall of fame bid. he is on the downward side of his career anyhow.

I agree with hate though, the whole era's records should be shitcanned.

Bonds and McGwire and Sosa should have every record they may have set taken away from them.

i don't think they should be banned

they should be mandated to start their own league while continuing steroids

a suitable punishment for extreme cheating

So true........

Look at Pete Rose...... betting cost him his Hall of fame.... So I think.....that those records of "juced up, lying, cheaters" should loose their records as well...... Talk about a false sence of accomplishments......
