I came across this list today. Several sites are claiming that this is the ”unofficial” MLB steroid users list from the 2003 anonymous test the league put together. I’ve been wondering why no other players, besides Arod, have been exposed from the findings in 2003. Typical Yankee-bashing from the haters.
I can’t say this list shocks me. It almost looks like someone scraped together a bunch of big name players to create this. I have my doubts. Then again, what can you believe anymore? The MLB Players Union, Bud Selig and the players themselves are all the lowest of the low.
Some noteworthy players that are NOT listed include Mariano Rivera, Trevor Hoffman, Albert Puljos, Jorge Posada, Roy Halladay, Johan Santana, Ken Griffey, Jr. or Tanyon Sturtze (ok, Im joking about Sturtze). If this list is the real deal, these guys are men amongst boys in my opinion.

I think it is real. Just look at the names, most of these guys had great seasons from 2003-2005. Most if not all of them had injuries over the past two years or they are retired. Other than a few of those listed had significant drop in production. All signs of possible steriod or HGH use. It could be a hoax but I’m a believer.
If it is true the MLB should do like the NCAA and take away all wins and championships from teams that had substance abusers, if the players don’t suffer then the teams should. It might be the best way to stop the drug use, force teams to be aware of what their players are doing to their bodies.
Guess roids can help break one curse but not the other see Cubs pitching staff and Red Sox names on the list - Francona and Epstein suck they get credit for winning because they have a bunch of roid ragers which they had to know about the whole time.

I cant be sure about the list and its authenticity, but what I am sure about is that the entire league… players, managers, front offices, players union and, most importantly, the Commissioner, who reaps the benefits of positive news (i.e - profits, high attendance) and should be at the forefront of controversies.
Another thought - do we really need to gov’t to intervene in MLB regulations?!? What the hell do we have a commish for? Its in plain view that performance-enhancing drugs have been and will continue to be a problem. Somebody (Selig), step up and take charge. Its unbelievable. Bud, get your thumb out of your ass and do your job!

I could believe this list. MLB has to come out and publicly acknowledge what happened. But I think even if they do, nothing more will happen. It wasn’t illegal at the time so as sad as that argument is, it’s gonna protect them. Good thing is a large majority of those players aren’t HOF worthy. If they are, they should be reviewed case by case to see if they can get in.
Years later, we’re gonna realize what a crazy motherfuckin time we live in.
