Palmeiro uses feeble excuse
A major setback for one of the most boring players ever to be considered Hall of Fame material. Major League Baseball suspended Rafael Palmeiro for ten days because he violated the league's steroid policy. This came five months after the Baltimore Orioles first baseman told Congress he never used the banned substances. Palmeiro said he never took them on purpose, and he didn't know how steroids got into his body.
That's just ridiculous. If you're a professional athlete, you're making a living off your body. You should be aware of everything that body is taking in. For Palmeiro to say he didn't know how the drugs got there is just outrageous. Does he really think any intelligent fan will believe that? His 3,000 hits and 500 home runs don't look so impressive now.
