Roids Report: A Whole Lotta *Steriskin' Going On.

Written by Dave Howard

How many times do I have to explain that YOU NEVER USE A CHECK FOR ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES !?!?!

A receipt for a Roid Delivery.

I have to admit awaiting the Mitchell report was quite similar to the last reel of “The Great Escape.” I’ve been waiting to hear the list to see if my buddies were on it.

Yes, my buddies were. Nothing earth shattering.. if Zen master Barry Zito had been on the list. That would be shocking.

Paul LoDuca's Note to his roid dealer

Well, now it comes clear (and creamy). The ranging ‘roids controversy has now leveled the playing field. And it’s a big FUCK YOU to all of you high and mighty asterisk waving, baseball branding, Holy Joe Jacksons out there. This note from still loved former Dodger Paul LoDuca to the New York Mets (where he ended up) drug connection is pretty heartbreaking stuff. He was taking and scoring for Gagne. LoDuca portion of the report is the biggest heartbreaker, a shown by this note (pictured after ‘read more’)

So Dodger and Yankee fans:

Hello Yankees!

Clemens,Sheffield, Pettite and Kevin Brown— I have always thought that Clemens is the worst sportsman in baseball. Mr. Beanball will throw at batters when he has a shutout going. Roid rage? Perhaps. According the Mitchell report, this occurred during their 4 years of World Series wins. Perhaps the Yankees need to forfeit some rings?

Hello Dodgers!—

Gagne, LoDuca Kevin Brown - I have suffered through so many Dodger/Giants games as they have waved asterisks. A good portion of the fans still wear Gagne “Game Over” shirts.

Now I feel vindicated. Your guy is on the list too. Your guy is getting an asterisk too. The report seems to narrow down the usage to two BIG OFFENDERS. They are the Yankees and Dodgers . Now we also know that a number of these players (Giambi, Gagne) have cleaned up their acts because they suck now. Of course, the Cansecos, Caminiti and Ankiel are no surprise. These guys LOVE drugs… doesn’t matter what kind.

Now you can’t just blame the players. The trainers need to shoulder the blame. Just from what I have seen from the BALCO scandal these guys have developed a very Hollywood mentality. They want to be known as miracle workers and get all the perks of having an all-star roster. They are the gym teachers of the sports world. My guess is that half of these guys didn’t know (at least at first) what they were putting in their bodies. The trainers has a good reputation. If my doctor prescribes something for me, I take his word for it. I don’t research it. I just take it. I’m sure the athletes felt the same way.

I have to admit there are few names on the list I just can’t bring myself to gloat about.

Barry Bonds—We all knew this was coming. But at least we know now he was the rule not the exception.
