Jose Conseco was right: Rafael Palmeiro is suspended for using steroids
Remember the March 17 congressional hearings? Remember the Boston Red Sox’ Curt Schilling snearing at Jose Conseco’s allegations that Major League Baseball players cheated by using steroids?
And remember Rafael Palmeiro of the Baltimore Orioles pointing his finger as he testified under oath, “I have never used steroids. Period”?
Now we return to Palmeiro, as he is suspended 10 days for using steroids:
“Today I am telling the truth again that I did not do this intentionally or knowingly.”
Conseco was right. Are perjury charges pending?

I think the media does a great job of diverting attention away from the real story.
The real story should be; What is going on in irag?
I dont believe Palmeiro did steroids!
I think its just another story to avoid discussing the truth about whats going on in irag and how our soldiers are being massacred.
So i congratulate our government for once again diverting our attention away from whats really going on.
To Mr. palmeiro i congratulate you for your accomplishment in baseball and as we say in the city, Hold your head!!

The three decades of sports before Iraq's liberation, it's clear from your comments, were a diversion from what Saddam Hussein was doing in Iraq.
While you were watching baseball, Saddam was compiling the most awesome statistics. By 2003, he held the world record among living dictators for deaths by genocide, war and state-ordered murder.
Writer, because of people like you, who can't pay attention to more than one thing a year, sports should be abolished.

I just wanted to tell Raffy that there are a lot of people that support you. Just look in the editorial pages of today's Sun and you will finally see some positive comments. Yesterday Cal Ripken had a nice article in the sports pages. Please send this on to Raffy and let him know we still love him and can't wait for him to play.

We can't wait for him to try baseball without steroids.
If he played fair, how well would he do?

well i guess we could be stupid like all of you and read these pointless articles instead of just watching baseball. steroids cant help you have good hands and help you make contact with the ball you retards. if you take steroids you stil have to be a good player for it to even help you. pay attention to whats really going on

Building muscle sure helps get that bat around to make contact with the ball.
Why do I want to watch a game where players cheat? Why do they keep all these baseball statistics when today's players use advantages that were not available decades ago. Throw out the statistics; they have been rendered meaningless.
