And I wonder why this wasn't in the Mitchell Report.

That is a good question. His name wasn't in there at all. Pretty much every guy who has suspicion or admitted to any kind of wrong doing was in that report. Plus that report was very accurate and brought out alot of players to admit to wrong doing.

so will A-Fraud now at the least have to serve a 50 game suspension

He can't serve any kind of suspension. The reported test is from 2003 before there where any type of penalties at all.

This is still america and where you are innocent until PROVEN guilty. Yeah there where alot of guys taking it but it wouldn't be fair to assume that everybody was doing it.

yup i wouldn't be the least bit suprised if Tiger is or was taking them, i mean look how that guy has bulked up over the past few years.

I believe it was. I think on the mitchell report it touched on 103 players testing positive, but the tests were not allowed to be shown to the public.

It just happens that ARod's name leaked in the sealed documents. I imagine if their were any more salacious names in of the 103, they would have leaked as well.

Ah, okay, that makes sense then.

Also, it'll be interesting to see how Arod plays this year with this having come to light. He's gonna get hell on the road.

I agree and Arod still has 9-10 years left of his career, while Bonds got most of the fan abuse for his last couple years mainly

He also gets $6MM bonus for each HOF player he passes in HRs. Wonder how the Yanks feel about this latest news?

Re: A-Rod tested positive for 'roids in '03

Seriously, no one saw this coming? All of them used roids, erase every single stat from 86 - 06 or put an * next to all of them. Every single stat/record.

I think all stats before Jackie Robinson should have an *

Strip all the new records by dopers. The Olympic Committee has no problems doing it. Selig needs to grow some balls and wipe the new records clean and put Aaron, Maris and Ruth back at the top where they belong.

I personally don't have a problem with steroids. Humans ingest chemicals from a variety of sources (food, vitamins, liquids, the air, etc), so I think it's hypocritical and pointless to ban one source of nutrients. I can understand that certain substances harm the body, but I think it's wrong to tell someone they can't take steroids, but drinking or taking pain killers is ok.

Still, this is really bad, and it only proves what I've said all along - nobody is untouchable. I expect 99% of ball players to have taken some sort of illegal supplement.

Kudos to the MLB Network for being so real about this.

You can't prove Aaron, Maris, and Ruth avoided any available supplement that would have separated them from the other ball players.

But yes, I think anyone who's been proven to have taken something should be given an asterisk.

I think the biggest deal in all of this is Orza tipping off the players to the test.

He's going to go down hard if that's true.

It's not hypocritical if that "nutrient" is known to kill you. Ask Lyle Alzado and any other steroid user that has had serious health problems or have died due to their using. It's not like they're taking multivitamins.

Or, if we are going to legalize steriods, let's just legalize crack and heroin also. Why should we pick and choose? Really, why should we let boards of medical professionals and hundreds if not thousands of medical trials tell us what's good or bad for our bodies. We should just do whatever we want and nobody should be able to tell us any different.
