I read something about this on another sports discussion board earlier today. The rumor said that one of the other ones was a certain centerfielder for Boston (Johnny Damon).

Mike Schmidt was my baseball hero back in the day. I wonder what his stats may have been if he could have been on the juice. I consider all the records from the last ten or so years to be tainted.

I actually think that there have been MORE pitchers on the juice than hitters...

That said, the Rocket has had some back problems since at least mid-June and maybe earlier than that...

we will see what happens....

Take it with a grain of salt but it wouldn't suprise me in the least if this comes out in the next few days.

Things are beginning to look suspicious in the opposite direction as far as I can tell.

People who wouldn't need steroids are getting caught. People who Clearly know better and who _clearly_ know they can't get away with it any more.

It just sounds fishy to me.

If MLB was really serious about not having players use steroids, they would test every player every 2 months. It would end.

face it, most American athletes are taking some sort of performance enhancing drug and have been since the Olympics during WW2.

Jason Giambi has the right idea. So on some serious drugs for a month right after you're tested, then go back off 'em when they think of testing you again.

That would explain the good pitching and idiotic behavior over the years.

I don't watch any pro sports because they have been ruined for a couple of reasons, steroid use being one of them.

All the cheaters' records should be thrown out. Ther are fake, phonies and frauds.

Posted on the Boston Dirt Dogs website:

Major League Baseball officials received at least a dozen phone calls yesterday regarding a rumor MLB was about to announce that Roger Clemens and Johnny Damon had tested positive for steroids, with an announcement coming today. "Total BS," one official said. MLB and the players' union had released a joint press release last week, vehemently denying that more prominent players had tested positive in the aftermath of Rafael Palmeiro's failed test. -- 8.18, from Gordon Edes' Red Sox notebook

"I just think people want to start something with anybody. I'd be more than happy to take any test. There's no way. If I tested positive for something, it's going to be because someone threw something in a drink or did something like that. I'm used to that stuff happening to me this year. There's been so many rumors in my personal life in Boston that it's been absolutely crazy. Rumors don't bother me. I know the person I am. What else can you do about it? You're in the spotlight. There's people in Hollywood that deal with it all the time. Our team is the closest thing to Hollywood in baseball." -- 8.18, Johnny Damon on the bogus internet chat board steroid rumors that have littered email inboxes over the last few days
