Palmiero suspended for steroids

[Doctor_J]

Rafael Palmiero - famous for his appearance at the steroid hearings as an example of a "clean" player, and for being an "athlete for Bush" - has been suspended for 10 games for steroid use.

Another GOP hypocrite.

1. Hide the sharp implements from Kleeb.

Nice going - telling lies to Congress...I hope they bust his ass for perjury.

2. I don't know anything about RP's politics

I know he's of Cuban descent, and I know how conservative they are.
He should be done, as far as the Hall of Fame is concerned. Taking steroids is bad enough. Lying the way he did before Congress should get him blackballed.

6. Lying before Congress has become not much of a crime

over the last 5 years. Perjury charges are unlikely.

4. Damn.....

That is just too depressing.

5. Stupid Idiot.

Everyone gave Mark McGwire shit for pleading the fifth and not saying anything at the steroid hearings. They said it "tainted" his image. My response was this: I am assured that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has done steroids. And when we find out the truth, every one of them EXCEPT MCGWIRE will be rung up for perjury.

LEt's hope I'm right. Sammy Sosa's next. (SOrry Kleeb)

7. I said this in the sports forum

I didn't expect to see this in the news today . . . and damn this is going to give all the ammunition the "Anti-Hall of Famers" need and I can't really disagree with them now. Steroid use and Perjury . . Palmiero Palmiero Palmiero...

8. On the White Sox broadcast just now

they put up a graphic with the top 9 all-time HR hitters and 4 of them are (suspected) juicers - Bonds, Palmiero, McGwire, and Sosa. How sad. Where have you gone, Joe D?
