Sammy did not use steroids!

Just a quick thought on the steroid scandal rocking baseball right now with the release of the Mitchell report... out of all the players listed of having taken steroids or suspected of doing so, and there are some pretty big names on the list, Sammy Sosa's name does not appear anywhere..

At the time when Balco broke and everyone was talking about Bonds and McGwire and some others, Sosa's name came up often as having been suspect of taking steroids as well. He could not shake the suspicions at the time because of his home run performance. It kind of dogged him down. Now it turns out he is not on any of the lists...

It still could be he took steroids and just has not yet been found out with enough evidence to get into the report, but this was pretty thorough and if his name is not on the list, his reputation should be cleared..

Some people might owe Sammy an apology for those accusations...though he still used a corked bat (at least in one game)..

  2. Sammy cheated. We know for a fact he corked his bat. We also know he went from a scrawny White Sox outfielder to a muscular Cubs slugger. And we know he pretended he didn't speak English at the Steroids hearings in Congress a few years ago. While the list exposed 80 players, it is clear the problem was tremendously widespread, meaning the list should be in the hundreds. Count me among those who believe it is just the fact that Sammy's dealer wasn't busted yet.

  3. ACTUALLY YOU MISUNDERSTOOD THE REPORT.

    tHE LIST OF NAMES GIVEN WERE JUST THOSE WHO DIRECTLY GOT ROIDS FROM THOSE TWO GUYS ONLY. mITCHELL SAYS THERE ARE MANY OTHER DISTRIBUTORS AND manY OTHER PLAYERS ON ROIDS THAT HE COULDN'T NAME W/O MORE PROOF.

    Sorry for all caps - I can't type

  4. it could be, but he is not even on the alleged or suspected list...

    He probably juiced up. He is dominican and they probably have all sorts of stuff the investigators in the US never even heard of. He probably paid for cash while he was spending his winter wit the family in the republic and nobody will ever say a word, if they can even find someone to talk to.

    All the Dominican players are amazing. They are all probably juiced on secret stuff.

    But he is still not on the list.

    Who cares anyway? They all cheat. It is nothing new. They used to put stuff on the ball. Do any of those hall of famers have asteriks nxt to their names?
