MLB will supposedly announce this afternoon.
WBAL is reading a statement from him now. He claims he did not "knowingly" take a band substance.
You make take that with as many grains of salt as you'd like.
Sports Illustrated has sources saying it is 'roids. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050801/ap_on_sp_ba_ne/bba_drugs_palmeiro_1
I have never used steriods, never, ever.
About the same time that ESPN announced it. They are talking Cowboys now. But I suspect The Hardline will talk about this for most of the show.
If 'some' will be protected, then they would have never busted Palmeiro. A future hall of famer who just a few days ago was honored as only the 4th player to hit a certain milestone (IIRC it was 3000 hits and 500 homers).
Bayless is a weinie....
BTW, Scott MCClellan was just asked about this during the White House Press Briefing...he answered that the President has confidence that MLB will clean up the drug use..
He was then asked how Bush was taking this, since he is such good friends with Raffy from when Raffy played for him on the Texas Rangers....
McClellan said he doesn't know...this just came down..and walked out of the room.
I'd like to see the test that he failed, was it the testosteron/epi-test ratio thingamajig? Guess I'll have to wait a bit..
Wasn't "Raffi" the guy who wrote "Going to the zoo, zoo, zoo. How 'bout you, you, you?"
Oh well. I don't get out much, but I do know this: I always take my steroids with my Wheaties!
Skip Bayless is a liar, fraud, and conman. He's faked accusations before in his tabloid articles.
2005 Palmeiro HR Numbers- April: 1, May: 6, June: 5 , July: 6.
Bayless skipped DFW years ago. (Rock me!!)
Exactly,....and that is why he is no longer on TheTicket in Dallas..
BTW, for those not in the D/FW area, this sports talk show station is up for a Marconi Radio award for best show in America...it is very good...and is available online.
www.TheTicket.com
OOPS---I meant best STATION in America...sorry!
His defense will be "But oxymegacyclinobol is NOT a steroid, it merely enhances ones own testosteron production, naturally..."..
Bayless just called Raffy a "lying piece of crap"! WHOA, is Skippy gonna do some gloating today!!
Do someone put the flackseed oil or Barry's cream into Raffi's Viagra?
Personally I think the Ticket is tabloid trashy, the only show that isn't Howard Stern perverse is th one with Norm Hitzges. If Palmeiro hangs out with that station's personalities and their strip club humor, well I can't say I'm shocked that he turned out to be dirty. Integrity is not a word I'd associate with that station.
