A source in Florida with knowledge of Signature Pharmacy's client list alleges that between October 2003 and July 2005, Gibbons received six separate shipments of Genotropin (a brand name for synthetic Human Growth Hormone), two shipments of testosterone and two shipments of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a hormone produced naturally during pregnancy, but taken by anabolic steroid users to stimulate the production of testosterone, which is suppressed as a result of steroid use. The information regarding Gibbons only pertains to receipt and not actual use of the drugs.

I'm not sure who has more alleged juicers, the Orioles or the Oakland A's.
And guess who's played for both of them? Miguel Tejada.

Not sure if anybody really cares about these outings anymore. It seems like everybody was on something; we just haven't heard about the dealers for most other players getting busted yet..

Good, now we can try to void Gibbons' contract.

Wasn't Gibbons one of the players that Grimsley listed last year?

The only people who really care about any of these outings anymore are people who don't care about baseball. Have a solid drug testing system and go forward, all this is anymore is a ridiculous witch hunt.

I don't want to defend Tejada and you may be right but keep in mind that Tejada has been accused by a player who got busted and made himself look like a fool in front congress. Palmeiro may not be too credible of a source.

With that said remember Gibbons played on the same Orioles team with Rafael Palmeiro, Jason Grimsley and David Segui. All of whom have been busted for using illegal substances.

Someone need to make a thread of all the MLB players that have been busted.

It was obvious dude was on something. He looks way smaller now then he did a few years ago. He can barely get the ball out the infield, forget a home run.

Wikipedia has one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...d_for_steroids

It's like a list of nobodies though aside from Palmeiro. Lawton, Rincon, Grimsley, and Mota are/were solid major leaguers.

When all is said and done it may be easier to list the players that don't get busted.

Funny you should mention...

Baltimore Could Void Gibbons' Contract

The Orioles could release veteran outfielder Jay Gibbons by voiding the final two seasons of his four-year, $21 million contract if allegations of his involvement with performance-enhancing drugs are true, a high-ranking source close to the team said Monday.
