Giambi Used Steroids

San Francisco chronicle is reporting this. They said he testified on December 11th, 2003 in the Balco Steroid case that he used them in 2003 and that he started using them before that.

 

Just an FYI and more names I guess are going to be named in the coming days. I guess one of the people at Balco said he was going to name names or something (????).

Nedrow also asked Giambi about several different-colored pills Anderson provided; they were denoted on calendars as "Y" for yellow, "W" for white and "O" for orange, according to the ballplayer. Giambi testified that he didn't know what the pills were, though he thought the white one might have been Clomid, a female fertility drug that can enhance the effectiveness of testosterone. His use of the drug was reflected on a calendar, the prosecutor said.
OMG Giambi pregnant?

ESPN said that now the Yanks are going to try to void the last 4 years of his contract.  I guess that is one way to clear payroll.

There's no way they get by the players union or his lawyers, unless they had something written into his contract..

 

The CBA has no teeth when it comes to steroids, and plenty of teeth when dealing with a players compesation.

 

The yankees will be paying JG for the foreseeable future.

If it reaches the courts, and they find Giambi fraudulent or something, the MLBPA wouldn't have a whole lot that they could say about it.

If Bonds and that other shrinking Violet, Sosa, eventually are forced to admit to taking steroids, what does that do to their HOF eligibilty? If they aren't banned, will anybody vote for them? Will Bonds 72 homers be honored? What about if he hits number 756? This is a nightmare scenario for MLB.

If he used and lied, he belongs on the scrap heap with scumbags like Pete Rose.  I hope they ban his ass, seriously.

I doubt it will happen though. How many chances do they give to these bums who are using drugs...Steve Howe anyone?? Darryl Strawberry, Doc Gooden?? And countless others. Heaven forbid though you gamble but drugs are ok. They all deserve to be banned but nope only the gambler.

I know it won't happen. It just pisses me off that sports seem to be the one profession where you can cheat your ass off and get away with it. If this happened in any other profession, they would have been fired long ago.

It certainly is. And the writing is on the wall for Bonds, with Greg Anderson (his personal trainer) being the guy fingered as giving Giambi the drugs, and being identified on a tape as admitting Bonds was using an undetectable performance-enhancer in 2003.

 

Damn I wish MLB could avoid all of this, but they and MLBPA brought it on themselves by not dealing proactively and aggressively with this 10 years ago. It will be ironic that the big homerun chase years that brought so many people back to baseball and healed some of the lingering 1994 strike anger will probably end up being the biggest scandal in a half-century of baseball.

Just when baseball starting making a comeback. MLB has to be sick right now.

 

Alright....well, this begs the bigger, more important question.

 

How many of you think Bonds is/has taking/taken steroids and if so, would you like to see him ineligible for Cooperstown?

 

I say: Barry was certainly on steroids, for how long I am unsure of, and that he will be put in the Hall, but with an *
