Palmeiro Dope

A former Cub gets suspended for the juice. Rafael Palmeiro has been suspended for ten games due to a positive test.

Palmeiro said the arbitrator "did not find that I used a banned substance intentionally — in fact, he said he found my testimony to be compelling," but still ruled that he needed to serve the suspension. Palmeiro wouldn't go into the specifics but left the impression that the banned substance was contained in a supplement that was not prescribed.

Wonder if he and Sammy talk about it much? It's a shame that baseball has to go through this junk, rather than taking a stance ten or fifteen years ago when steroids started to become the enhancer of choice for power hitters.
