What's your reasoning other than guilty by association?

It's not. It wasn't against the rules in 2003.

That isn't true. Only Yankees players are on steroids.

They were banned in 1991.
Commissioner Fay Vincent sent the clubs a memo in 1991 reminding them that players were forbidden from taking any illegal substance. He specifically mention steroids in the memo and encouraged the clubs to take a get-tough policy on players thought to be using steroids.
eta: just because no testing was being done to enforce the policy, doesn't mean they weren't banned

Well frick! 
Not at all surprised though, I'm a little surprised that it took this long for something on Ortiz to come out.

Look at his size and tell me you get that way by simply working hard in the gym. Pujols without a doubt has used a banned substance. The manufacturers of these substances are ahead of the curve in regards to testing. Like I said before, I wish they all would use them. I just wish baseball would quit being so hypocritcal.

Legalize is so went don't have to hear this shite anymore. Next thing you know Vince Mcmahon will be on steroids or even Bud selig himself.

But wait! George Mitchell didn't even put those guys in the Mitchell Report. I don't get it.
Posted on 7/30/09 at 12:00 pm to eyeran
But, they weren't in the Mitchell Report!! I don't believe it for a second!

I love how before it came out the news was "several prominent Yankees are on the list" and it was all 100% true and people shite bricks. Now shite like this happens and it is no big deal and probably false
IDGAF either way but i just find that funny. Has Gammons spit his statement yet about how it was probably accidental and the tests weren't done when he was under Boston control?
Posted on 7/30/09 at 1:26 pm to Srbtiger06
Ahh man. I hadn't thought about Gammons yet. Hes going to be crushed. First Manny now Big Papi? A tainted Title? Peter is probably sobbing into his hands right now. How could you Big Papi, how could you?

This might make for his most entertaining column ever.
The Mitchell Report was a joke, he was chairman of the Red Sox for a while, and the only prominent former Red Sox on the list (Mo Vaughn and Roger Clemens) didn't start using until they left Boston (according to the report). Selig should have hired John Dowd for the investigation, the findings would have been more legit

Yeah, Kurkjian looked like he was about to cry when he was talking about it. He was so shook up about it.
Posted on 7/30/09 at 2:52 pm to hendersonshands
Well, we still have Griffey....I think...?

Gammons deserves it. He's such a fricking chode.
