BREAKING NEWS: Sosa Tested Positive for PED in ‘03

by jeter2jeter on Jun 16, 2009 7:09 PM EDT

News has broken out that former MLB-slugger Sammy Sosa tested positive for PED's in 2003, the same year Alex Rodriguez tested positive. They were just 2 of the 104 that tested positive that year.

While it's no surprise Sammy Sosa might have cheated, it always hurts America's favorite pastime when something like this occurs.

This just made it official

but its really been common knowledge that he was one of the roiders.

They need to make all these other names public if they are gonna out Sosa and A-Rod.

Unless they testified in court like Sosa, they should NOT be punished either at least by law.

It would get rid of a whole lot of confusion.

This just in, Gaylord Perry threw spitballs.

And later on, investigative reporting reveals bats are made of wood!

Someone has a list of 102 players who are confirmed cheaters and its remaining sealed?
Why was A-rod and Sosa villafied while the rest get off scottfree? Because they were the biggest names?
The only way MLB can get past the steriod era is full disclosure, then we can move on.

We'll hear about that

right after hearing that Beckett tried the boli before he gave it to A-Rod.

2 down, 102 to go

I’m numb to all the roiders at this point. I was watching ESPN last night, and it was interesting to hear Tim Kirchin say he would vote everybody in. (Sosa, Clemens, Bonds,McGwire everybody) We should just face the facts and move on. I mean Hulk Hogan is in the WWE hall of Fame isn’t he?
