Funny how he's "coming clean" about it now after flat out lying about it during the 07 60 Minutes interview.

What a joke.

Usually if you come clean, people will eventually forgive you.

However, in A-Rod's case, it is going to take a trade or a miracle for New Yorkers/ the New York Media to forget about it.

They'll never come clean, they'll only admit to what can be proven and lie about the rest.

I still think Griffey and Frank Thomas were the two best players of that era. It's a shame that those guys were forgotten about when everyone started juicing.

This is my opinion as well. When I followed baseball Frank Thomas was my favorite player by far. At this point it looks like he and Griffey Jr. are the best hitters of the past 20 years.

Seriously it was a medical thing, nothing serious, but they gave me, what they said, was some type of steroid. But if you ask me exactly what it was I couldn't tell you. And it wasn't some shady doc or trainer, this was the V.A. Hospital so my use was on the up and up. lol

cortisone is "some type of steroid" also...so I guess Curt Shilling needed steroids to be able to pitch on his bad ankle

I'm glad he came clean. The worst thing he could have done was pull a Bonds or Clemens and keep on denying it.

Clemens never tested positive, not in the MLB or the World Baseball Classic or anywhere else.

Bonds and ARod both have positive tests.

Gonzalez and Rocker were both Rangers in '02. Canseco's last year there was '94.

jeez I was way off on Canseco. I thought he was on there much later than that, and im a Ranger fan

Guess I'll just have to keep posting stuff like this when we hear so and so never tested positive, etc. It means less than nothing.

I bet you dollars to donuts that Clemens is one of the names on that 2003 list.

all im saying is that is pretty difficult to deny it when you have tested positive. That is the difference between Arod and Clemens. Rodriquez tested positive, while the Clemens situation is "he said, he said"

lol you dont think the feds and others would know that by now? They are looking for stuff on Clemens everywhere.

there is no telling who is on that list. They should release the entire thing before spring training so MLB can move on

Trust me the feds probably have it. I'm thinking those samples they found on Bonds came from that '03 batch. It's only a matter of time before this whole thing is blown wide open IMO.

I agree with you and have said earlier in the thread that MLB should just release the list instead of having the sword of Damocles hanging over their collective heads.

If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you, real cheap too.

I'd like to know who the 103 are, but I sure would be mad if I was promised anonymity on something and then have it brought out. If I was a player I wouldn't trust any kind of secret testing again. Of course, if you are clean you don't have anything to worry about.

I think A-Rod owes Carlos Delgado a 2003 MVP trophey. 242 points to 213 for Delgado.

A-Rod .298 47 HR's 118 RBI's .997 OPS
Delgado .302 42 HR's 145 RBI's 1.019 OPS


...of course Delgado was probably using too

I think he owed it to him that year anyway.
