This guy must think everyone out in the world is stupid.

Vitamin B12 is much much different than the STEROID that was found in his system (stanozolol).

What a complete crock.

ah...ah....errrr..maybe someone will believe me now syndrome

For your Baseball pinglist....

FYI, Congress is looking to slap the MLB (and by extension the NFL, NHL and NBA) with stern penalties since they all seem to not be able to get their thumbs out.

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

that's exactly what it is....

ahhh but they can prove it, they has the pi$$ tests that went hot :)

[misterrob]

Here's what I don't understand. He knows that he is being tested. He knows that he is talking before a Senate panel. If he's juicing then why not just take the 5th? The truth is going to come out anyway but at least he's not going to perjure himself. Is it possible that someone did slip him something as it seems like an exercise in stupidity to do roids with that type of scrutiny over him.

Stern penalties. I like the sound of that. (Union chief reference.)

Has he blamed Viagra yet?

[Continental Soldier]

Palmeiro, stop it! Just plain STOP IT!!!

Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode where Elane ate poppy seeds that gave her a positive heroine test?

[MikefromOhio]

That's what I don't understand.

I never took Palmeiro as an arrogant guy but maybe he thought he could get away with it?

Maybe that also explains what he is saying now.

No way in heck a B12 vitamin shot comes up as an anabolic steroid or even a corticosteroid....

[TomGuy]

I suppose there is an outside chance he could have acquired the drug through other means.

I recently had to use an ointment on my eyelids for an eye infection. The Dr. cautioned me against using it for more than 10 days, as it contains a steriod.

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

no but I am sure that's coming too LOL

[MikefromOhio]

yeah.

I don't want Congress involved, but since Congress granted the MLB their anti-trust agreement, I guess they have something simliar to a right if they want it.

I would have figured that the leagues themselves would have been smart enough to get it right, but apparently not.

[mbraynard]

Why should congress fine anyone?

[MikefromOhio]

yeah, but if that was the case, why lie now?

Why say B12? I mean that is about the most innoucuous thing he COULD have taken...

[Stellar Dendrite]

i really dont care if palmeiro was juicing, thats something baseball should take care of by itself....congress has MORE IMPORTANT things to do than have hearings about steroids in baseball.

Why should congress fine anyone?

It's not that they will fine them, but, especially since Baseball as an anti-trust agreement with Congress, they don't want to lose that (even though they shouldn't have it in the first place, but that's another day)....
