I'm guessing they started exposing Palmeiro b/c he is the biggest name. I'm sure a lot of names will come up soon.

actually this was brought up in a lot of the articles ...
Apparently Raffy was the first one to be allowed to go to arbitrion before his testing results were released. Every other player was allowed to go afterwards ...

why?

Big Deal. Is this really a surprise to anyone. I think we all realize that these guys are doing whatever they can to get an edge.

Our prez, former Rangers owner:

"Rafael Palmeiro is a friend. He testified in public and I believe him," Bush said, referring to Palmeiro's denials under oath to a congressional committee on March 17. "He's the kind of person that's going to stand up in front of the klieg lights and say he didn't use steroids, and I believe him. Still do."

Am I alone in getting the feeling that Canseco was telling, if not the whole truth, pretty close to it? Especially with regard to the guys he personally shot up. I don't think even Canseco would make THAT one up.

I thought his moustache looked a little beefy. B-)

Anabolic steroids such as stanozolol are synthetic derivatives of the male hormone testosterone. Stanozolol has a pronounced anabolic effect with fewer masculinizing side effects than testosterone or some other synthetic anabolic steroids. Anabolic steroids are used in debilitated or weakened animals to stimulate appetite and increase weight gain, strength, and vigor. They should be used as a part of an overall program with other supportive and nutritional therapies. The effects of anabolic steroids usually last for several weeks.
