Orioles' Palmeiro suspended 10 days for violating steroids policy

NEW YORK (AP) -- Rafael Palmeiro was suspended for violating Major League Baseball's steroids policy Monday, nearly five months after telling Congress that ``I have never used steroids. Period.''
Palmeiro two weeks ago collected his 3,000th hit, joining Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Eddie Murray as the only players with 3,000 hits and 500 homers.
Palmeiro, 40, is the seventh and highest-profile player to test positive for steroids under the major league policy adopted earlier this year.
In remarks prepared for a conference call Monday, Palmeiro said he had accepted his punishment and could not explain how the steroids got into his body.
``I have never intentionally used steroids. Never. Ever. Period,'' he said. ``Ultimately, although I never intentionally put a banned substance into my body, the independent arbitrator ruled that I had to be suspended under the terms of the program.''
A grievance filed by the players' union against the suspension was denied.
Appearing with Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and other baseball stars before a congressional committee on March 17, Palmeiro made an opening statement in which he said: ``Let me start by telling you this: I have never used steroids. Period. I don't know how to say it any more clearly than that. Never.''
Palmeiro seemed in that appearance to be indignant over accusations made by former slugger Jose Canseco, who cited Palmeiro as a steroid user in his tell-all book. In an interview on the CBS television show ``60 Minutes,'' Canseco -- who also testified before Congress -- said he injected the drug into Palmeiro.

" Howard had former porn star and California Gubernatorial candidate, Mary Carey and her friend and also former porn star, Kendra Jade in the studio this morning. Howard and Robin were very happy to see Kendra again as she hasn't been by in a few years. Howard was also very happy to see Mary had lost a lot of the weight she had put on during her political days. Both Kendra and Mary have given up making porn.
Mary said she'd been in about 40 films, but has now been credited with 89 because of the way they repackage scenes these days. She said it seems that all they have to do is put a picture of her on the box and she's automatically counted as in the film. Howard had read that Mary had cut down on her drinking, although you couldn't really tell this morning. Mary said she has cut back a lot, but did admit to having a few drinks last night. She said she had started drinking heavily after her grandmother had died as a way to deal with her depression. Now Mary has a new hobby, sleeping with NBA players.
She said so far she's slept with players from the Lakers, Heat, Magic and Timberwolves. She says all she does is go and sit a few rows behind the team's bench and shouts at the guys, (then they give her their phone numbers). She said one of the Timberwolves players flew her to Minnesota and put her up in a hotel for a few days. She said she would really love to make a porno of her sleeping with at least one player from each NBA team. Mary said some of these players were rather "big". Howard asked if Mary had given up on politics all together, but she said she hadn't. Mary said she thought she would take a shot at the Lieutenant Governors job next, saying she would be a great spokesperson for the state.
Howard told Mary his cousin Isaac, who is an intern on the show this summer, went to the same high school as Mary. Isaac said she had quite a reputation at the school, but Mary said it wasn't so bad -- she even won the founders award there. Isaac said there was something about a prom incident and all Mary would say was "Oh yeah that" and noted her date that night was from another school."

Baltimore Orioles first baseman who has over 550 hr's and over 3000 hits. earlier in the year he testified before US Congress that he did not take steroids EVER! May his nuts suffer permanent shrinkage!
I can only assume he learned to cheat like this early in his career while playing for the Cubs! |

Timing, as always, will tell the tale for Raffy.
Should the tests have been conducted in the last 30 days, this indeed taints his recent asencion to the 3K Club, as well as his HOF ballot. Just when he was becoming an icon in Balmer, this happens. Maybe he lucks out if it is some type of GNC steriod. Looks like Bud Selig found his poster boy. Remember, he pointed his finger at Congress during the steriod hearings saying "I never took steriods?", along the lines of Bubba when he pointed to the press on Miss Blue Dress. What did your mother always tell you? NEVER POINT! |

being as he is the first big name player to be nailed, you can be assured that he will be made an example of. no HOF for him! How nervous do you think Sosa was when it was revealed that an Oriole had tested positive? |

Oh Hell , I forgot all about her !!!!!! Didn't Sandberg even quit the team in order to prevent Cindy from cashing in on anymore of his earnings ?
How many players did she sleep with anyway ?!?!?!

" Maybe Cindy Sandberg chose not to be open with you regarding such matters? She was caught getting boned by Grace in the clubhouse DURING A GAME for chrissakes by Mike Bielicki, who took pictures as a gag. The pictures ended up with Bob Verdi of the Trib, though they were never published of course. "
" Well, if Raffy wasnt boning Sandburg's (now Ex) wife he might have stayed around a bit longer. At least thats the rumor Ive heard. Anyone else?
.. from what I heard he knocked up Sandberg's wife. And I think Dave Martinez did too. No joke. "

He should send for his corked bats muy pronto, since Oriole fans don't find him very entertaining these days, BP or otherwise.

Stanozolol, what runner Ben Johnson was found to have used, is what Raffy has been found to have used.
Palmerio better re-up with Viagra, because he's just lost his HOF ticket.

Exactly, mate! His "Never intentionally used steroids" line is now proven to be a big fat lie. |

Ah ha ha ha!! I hate sports, but let ME play too!!!
******
The Plot Thickens, Part I: Under perhaps the best Washington Post headline of the summer – "Bush Backs Rove, Palmeiro, 'Intelligent Design'" – Dan Froomkin reports that the President goes along with the ex-Ranger's story: "Rafael Palmeiro is a friend. He testified in public and I believe him."
But which Palmeiro does Bush believe? The one who said, "I have never used steroids. Period," in March – or the one who said Monday, "I have never intentionally used steroids. Never. Ever. Period."?
More Bush: "He's the kind of person that's going to stand up in front of the klieg lights and say he didn't use steroids, and I believe him. Still do." Even though Bush hasn't been a baseball owner in more than a decade, he hasn't forgotten how to look the other way. Somehow he still finds time to practice.
Fool Us Once: Meanwhile, the ever-vigilant Congress wants Palmeiro to cheer up. While he may have blown his chance to join the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, he earned the next best thing: a chance to testify again before the House Government Reform Committee.
Palmeiro spoke yesterday with the committee chairman, Rep. Tom Davis (R-VA). Committee staffers told the New York Times that Palmeiro wouldn't face perjury charges because the steroid test he failed was "some weeks" after he denied he'd ever used them. In other words, they "believe him."

I think this can only mean one thing: Paleiro gets a Medal of Freedom!

Oh, you're right, blue - I accidently missed a letter. I would re-post Max's admonition to me to quit being a spell-checker and find the laughter, but I have no idea where it is.
I guess since the name was spelled wrong, everything in the post is null and void. The fact that Bush publicly stands behind a guy even YOU know is lying isn't hilarious at all! (PS are we talking about Karl Rove or Rafael Palmeiro?) And the fact that you won't stand for that kind of shit in BASEBALL but vehemently support it in your government is...well, I don't know WHAT that is.
