A-FRAUD!

This just keeps getting better. He was seen as the next clean guy to overtake Bonds... there goes that!

It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

Uh-oh...

Man that's disappointing.
Just another asterisk in the books for the future it looks.

ESPN is leg humping this story, and rightfully so.

Sports Illustrated's site is blowing the lid off of everything. GREAT coverage and completely out of the blue.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Interesting that this news is only on CNNSI.com and MLB.com (pretty surprised its on there at all), but ESPN, FoxSports, CBS, Yahoo, etc have no mention of it.

That's because it's an exclusive for SI.

It's all over ESPN right now... just not on the website yet. Probably finding a cute picture to add.

They'll all catch up soon. Just an odd time to go exclusive with it. Probably caught everyone off guard!

MLB Network is covering it. They even cut off David Cone's 19 K performance to talk about it right now.

Proof that EVERYONE in this era has taken something.

Kinda fishy that this is gonna take attention away from Barry.

This is going to get REALLY messy now.

If one of MLB's posterboys has been juicing, EVERYONE is in play now. There's going to be questions about every player in the friggin' league.

Wow.

Thanks for the heads up. Wow.

I still can't believe they're covering it on the official MLB channel. MLB used to sweep this sort of thing under the rug.

Harold Reynolds is brilliant. Just an aside.

I would bet anything that Manny is clean.

Well... as clean as you can get.

When A-Rod's contract is up, he better be ignored by every team like Bonds as well.
