Roberts Admits To Use Of Steroids
The Baltimore Sun reported Friday that Baltimore Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts, issued a statement Thursday night, admitting to taking steroids, but said he only did it once in 2003. Roberts was one of many current and former MLB players named last week in the "Mitchell Report" an investigation into the use of steroids in MLB conducted by former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell.
Roberts in his statement said that he only took the P.E.D. (performance enhancing drug) once in 2003, and immediately felt shame and remorse. Roberts went on to state that his mindset was that this was not the type of person he was, and never did it again. Roberts implied that he was "narced on" by former teammate Larry Bigbie. He said he holds no ill feelings, towards Bigbie, and basically excused Bigbie naming him as something Bigbie felt he needed to do to extricate himself from a bad situation. Bigbie who played with Roberts in Baltimore spoke with the Mitchell Commission, and allegedly recounted a conversation that the two had in 2004.
Last weekend New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettite admitted to taking banned substances, also only for a very short period to help him recover from an injury. Earlier this week Roger Clemens who was prominently named in the report, denied taking any steroids, or banned substances.
Prepare yourself for a winter that will be a combination of the McCarthy hearings of the 1950's coupled with I smoked but did not inhale excuses. The witch hunt that is going on as a result of the names released last week, are eerily similar to the search for Communists back in the 1950's by the former Wisconsin Senator. And the excuses by the athletes who are admitting to it sound like trying to say they are just a "little bit pregnant." In Thursday's "USA TODAY" columnist Mike Lopresti asked for someone, anyone to come out and just admit the truth. Sorry Mike, that was tried earlier this Summer by Jason Giambi, who granted an interview to your colleague Bob Nightengale. Giambi was crucified by the "Powers That Be" in MLB, why would any other player even attempt to clear the air, after they saw how the "One Honest Man" was treated?
