Fact remains Mick, he tested positive for the banned substance shortly after felt the need to blatantly deny in no uncertain terms to a congressional subcommittee that he used them.

Kinda like Pete Rose denying he had a gambling problem, no?
Dan,

Not even close to the Pete Rose denials. Gambling is an addictive sickness. Steroids are used with purpose.

Wasn't that on March 14th that he flatly denied that useage?
Anyway, like I hoped to imply, maybe he really didn't know back then; maybe he got a bad batch of milkshakes like Sanchez. Or, maybe a masking substance didn't work this time or was subsequently identified.

Thing is, for me, stuff happens out of an athlete's control and I need to be shown intent.
