McGwire admits to steroid use

I never suspected this??

Why Mark why???

Can someone bring in Ja Rule to make sense of all this for me?

Why?
 
This is about as shocking as when Clay Aiken revealed he was gay.
 
Surprise, surprise. I can now live my life now knowing that the truth is out now. :rolleyes2:
 
This is why i dont care.
Issue #1
Steroids were first created in the 1930's and they show up in sports in the 1950's in the Olympics. Why do the players from the 1950's-1980's get a free pass that they couldn't have used steroids? think about it 1961 two players on the same team explode for over 50 HR's and one breaks the Home Run record at 61.

Issue #2
Baseball strikes in 1994 and is devastated by low fan attendance and no one cares about the sport. Baseball isnt one of the fan favs for years while basketball and football draw attention away from the sport. McGwire and Sosa have a historic steroid HR race and save the game. That keeps baseball alive and saves the sport (whats a hall of fame with out a league?).

Issue #3
I was a smoker. I did it because for the first few months it made me feel different. after the initial effect it made me guilty and i wanted to quit for the next 8 years.
When these guys started using Steroids it wasnt that big a deal and when it became a big deal they couldnt just quit. and anyone that has smoked knows that the physical addiction to nicotine is gone in 3 days but the habit/mental addiction last for years.
Who's to say these guys didn't want to quit after they started but couldn't.

Steroid users saved the game and the game **** on them. i don't agree with it and i hate it that ***ot sports writers make these guys that provide them with something to report out to be devils.

It does not matter to me if these guys do it. It's their bodies and they can put into it what they want in my eyes. But don't lie and deny what you did. If you are man enough to stick that needle in your ***, be man enough to own up to it.
 
Or I love when they throw the team trainer under the bus. I had know idea he was shooting that into my ***. I thought they were vitamins.

They didn't save the game. Baseball would exist even with the Yankees only spending 50 mil, travesty though that may be. For a lot of us the sport would be far more enjoyable if there wasn't this disconnect between the player and fan because of the obscene amount of money they make.
 
mark was acting like we would be surprised.the only thing surprising was that his home run opponent sammy sosa was auditioning for a role in twilight.
 
Canseco says McGwire still lying


Jose Canseco says Mark McGwire is still lying about his use of steroids and his former manager Tony La Russa isn't telling the truth either.

McGwire admitted Monday he used steroids for a decade, including when he hit 70 home runs in 1998, but denied Canseco's claims that he injected himself and McGwire with steroids in bathroom stalls.

"I've defended Mark, I know a lot of good things about him," Canseco told ESPN 1000 radio in Chicago on Tuesday. "I can't believe he just called me a a liar. Umm, there's something very strange going on here.

"I even polygraphed that I injected him, and I passed it completely. So I want to challenge him on national TV to a polygraph examination. I want to see him call me a liar under a polygraph examination."

In Canseco's 2005 book, Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball Got Big, Canseco claimed he introduced McGwire and other stars to steroids and performance-enhancing drugs. He wrote about injecting himself and McGwire in bathroom stalls, and how the effects of the drugs were the reason he hit 462 career home runs.

Canseco and McGwire helped lead the Athletics to a World Series sweep in 1989.

"Jose is out there doing what he's doing, but I'm not going to stoop down to his level," McGwire told ESPN on Tuesday. "None of that stuff happened. He knows it. I know it. I'm not going to stoop down to that level."

La Russa was McGwire's manager for nearly all of his 16-year career in both Oakland and St. Louis. He was also his fiercest defender, especially after the Associated Press reported McGwire used androstenedione during his record-breaking season in '98. Andro, as it was known, was made a controlled substance until 2004, when it also was banned by baseball.

The manager said he didn't know until Monday that McGwire used steroids.
"That's a blatant lie," Canseco said. "There are some things here that are so ridiculous, and so disrespectful for the public and the media to believe.

I just can't believe it. I'm in total shock. These guys remind me of politicians that go up and just lie to the public and expect to get elected."
