Palmeiro - Not Only A Viagra User

Palmeiro swore in court that he has “never used steroids. Period.” Now he claims it was not intentional. Please… Guess he thought that needle was something else poking him in the ass every week.

Are we really supposed to believe any of these clowns anymore? Why in the hell would they be taking supplements and using lotions they know nothing about, especially this season with all the heat from the baseball commission and media? The reason is they know exactly what they’re doing.

When their career begins to fade, a baseball player has to make a choice. Retire and fall back on the ol’ degree they got some 15 years before, or the luckier ones become part of baseball media. Either way the salary is a measly comparison.

Or they can continue to play, sometimes even better than when they were in their “prime” back when they were 28 or 30. They can continue to make millions. They can continue to live in the way they’ve grown accustomed. The hardest part is subsiding a fear of needles. Steroids, not the little blue pill Palmeiro advertises, are the fountain or youth for these guys.

And if you get caught? Deny, Deny, Deny. That’s it! All you get is a slap -more like a flick- on the wrist! Palmeiro will have to miss 10 games and will lose a little over 160 thousand - pocket change to him.

Recently, Palmeiro joined the league of greats by becoming only the 4th player with 3,000 hits and 500 homeruns. In my opinion, it’s all bullshit. The day you cheat, your “records” shouldn’t mean shit. He should be denied a place in the baseball Hall of Fame and I hope he loses all of his multi-million dollar sponsorships.

But until the day comes when the consequences of steroid use match it’s effectiveness, aging baseball players or those looking for an edge have an easy decision to make.
