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.

I still don't buy it Mick.
Only a fool would not spend the coupla hundred bucks & the time to pee in a cup & verify through a private lab that none of the supplements he's taking would be flagged as a banned substance.
IOW there is no good reason for him to find himself in this trouble.

Dan,
Foolishness and ignorance can surely be offered as excuses, or reasons. For those there is no defense. Just is.
But with no one talking substance, quanity, quality or source, I maintain my contention that the process is foul.

BTW: I don't feel anything for Raphael Palmeiro one way or another.
I only use my seat belt because it will cost me $75.00, if I don't.
