Palmiero: "Teammate gave me substance"

Report: Palmeiro says teammate gave him substance

ESPN.com news services

Rafael Palmeiro reportedly told a three-member baseball arbitration panel that a teammate gave him a substance that might be responsible for his positive steroid test, a source told the Baltimore Sun.

A second source told the Sun that Palmeiro named the teammate when he presented his defense when appealing his suspension. However, a source told the newspaper that while he told the panel that he had received a substance from a teammate, he didn't make the case that the substance in question caused his positive test result.

The House Committee on Government Reform is investigating whether Palmeiro's statements to the panel have merit, the Sun reported, by interviewing people, including members of the Orioles such as Palmeiro himself and the team's head trainer, Richie Bancells.

Bancells confirmed to the newspaper that he had spoken to the committee.

2. Yeah, I'll bet that teammate was Jose Conseco

5. I believe that he is pointing towards Tejada.

Stupid bastard. All he has to do is take it like a man with integrity and he would eventually be forgiven. Apparently, Palmeiro doesn't want to do that and wants to play the blame game. In the end, he will get what he deserves.

3. Well, he's just piling them on now...

So not only is he a cheater, a drug user, and a liar, he's also a snitch!

No wonder Bush likes him.

4. Oh yeah, the dog ate my homework, too.

I don't give a shit WHO gave you the stuff. YOU put it in your body. If you didn't know what it was, you should have found out before using it. So now, you throw your teammate under the bus, too? What an ass you turned out to be.
