Palmeiro still insists he never used steroids

[3arod13]

Was this a good or bad move on Palmerio's part? I think it was a bad move.

My reasoning for it being a bad move is, he didn't add anything new to the situation that would help his case. Bringing it back up, a week before the Baseball Writers Association of America announces its inductees to baseball’s Hall of Fame, just makes it look worse for him, and makes him look pitiful, IMO.

At this point, with all of the ways players are getting caught, if he failed one test and he still swears that he didnt use steroids intentionally, I may have to lean towards believing him.

I agree - anyone know why LADY JUSTICE is wearing a blindfold? It's because evidence/justice should be meted out objectively. Seems the blindfold has been removed and people are being judged by the media and public opinion instead of the evidence.

Just an opinion - hope I didn't offend anyone.

The evidence is there - in a failed drug test. Palmeiro is guilty as heck; he must think the populace is gullible enough to believe him.

How would you like to be a member of the Hall of Fame voting commitee now? This stuff probably was happening before testing was established.

As stated below, he definately did not help his cause!

Drug tests are flawed - I didn't read or hear about a 2nd test given to confirm the 1st test. Was one ever given? Has anyone seen the written document outling exactly what chemicals were found in the test sample? If such a document wasn't seen, who's to say the writer was accurate in his findings?

Hey, I am NOT defending Palmeiro or any of the others. It's called "DUE PROCESS" and we're all entitled to it. Since MLB didn't seem to do such a terrific job in investigating the entire steroid saga, if I were a writer and had a vote, I would base my decision on the "EVIDENCE" instead of rumor or innunedo.

With that said, if I were a writer and the dear Commissioner of baseball came up for induction into the Hall of Fame, I would NOT ever vote for him because of his handling of the entire steroid saga. Although he didn't hit a single pitch or throw and single ball, he failed to safeguard the intregrity of the game.

Hope I did NOT offend anyone - just an opinion.
