You are kidding....right?

I'm dissapointed that results of a confidential test were leaked to the public. I'm NOT defending drug use, but if these players were tested with the promise of anonymity, then names shouldn't be released.

Let's get this straight, all the homeruns we fell in love with are steriod based.

Mac, Bonds (The guy who killed baseball and made it a sud-standard spirt by winning the homerun record, AFraud, Giambi, Palmero, Jose Conseco, Sosa and other steriod freaks all just tainted the sport. These slugger were part of a elite club who get away with it. Bud Selig let this happen knowingly with no action against their bad acts.

Responding to the question now:

No, Steriods was done because Homeruns brought in rating and money and SOSA was part of the money/rating system to bring baseball to such a high level. In the end it all about money and rating, all Bud Selig cared was about money and rating and SOSA just was part of the system.

Just like A-Fraud, Mcgwire, Bonds etc...

Sosa was cheered when we thought he was clean - but now, BYE BYE HALL OF FAME!

come on... it's baseball... NOT IMPORTANT

Who are the 5 people who voted that yes, they are surprised? I've got some beachfront property I'd like to sell you.

If you are going to out Alex and Sammy, why not out all of them and then see who is really surprised?

While the confidentiality might have been compromised...and I can understand the argument for this...the fact remains these jerks are a bunch of overpaid cheaters.

It's why I am crispy fried burnt-out on pro sports. Done.

He looked like someone stuck a bicycle pump in him and inflated him. Who in the world ever thought he was clean?

This is the least surprising news I've heard in a long time. Don't forget Sosa also was caught with a corked bat, and got a slap on the wrist then. If you looked at pictures of Sosa and Giambi from 5,6 years ago they were twice the size they are now.

Next we'll find out that some of these players drank or had sex with people they were not married to ... and the same 5-6 people will be surprised

Bud Selig has no _— _— _— _— s . As in baseballs ? That , my friends , is the true sourse of the drug problems in the sport . And the players assn . is no innocent party . They , most of all , know the scope of drug use by players . Sad , I used to love baseball .

The Babe is still the home run king . Check his 'slugging percentage' .

The 1998 HR chase between Sammy and Big Mac saved baseball. Sammy and Big Mac did roids. Therefore, roids saved baseball. How pathetic!

You all bitch about these stroids but you all new bonds took them but I bet 9 out of ten of you watch him hit his homerun so stop bitching.We got bigger problems in this country of ours to worry about that are serious. Thank You James

this isnt about baseball its about people doing something criminal and no one seems to care, you even have people saying, "it wasnt against the rules in baseball at that time", okay but it always has been against the law!!! how these people still play, draw a pension, walk amongst us is beyond my comprehension? i get drug tested at work, i get a positive for anything, i lose my job minimum...some of you are just straight up ignit!

Damn right the country - er planet - has bigger problems to address. What's at issue here is a microcosim of the big picture. In a word. Ethics.

At the time Sosa took the drugs, they had NOT been  labled as illegal. Sosa was not alone in taking steroids, he just excelled because of them. Baseball, especially the commisioner (Bud Selig) looked the other way, as Sosa and MacGuire were putting "butts in the seats" throughout the major leagues. The fact that this supposedly "confidential" test has been leaked by major league baseballi sthe heighth of hypocricy. Sosa prior to, and since,has never flunked a drug test. In other words, he abided by the rules, as they were drawn out at the time.......he didn't cheat! Baseball allowed this era, and it's they, not the players, that should be put on trial!
