We as fans can talk about that, but you don't publish something like that on espn.com without some real evidence. We have it for everybody else mentioned, not him.

And yeah, Canseco didn't include Sammy.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


Per Baltimore Sun

<b>Feb. 14, 2005</b> - In a book, retired slugger Jose Canseco says he set up the Orioles' Rafael Palmeiro with a steroid supply when they played for Texas Rangers in the early 1990s. Canseco says he suspects the Orioles' Sammy Sosa is a steroid user.

There is a difference, though, between "I supplied Sammy Sosa with steroids", and "I think Sammy Sosa is on steroids".

Bingo, BT. No one has ever said they saw Sammy do steroids or supplied him with them. The only thing that points to it is his body at the time, the era itself, and his demonstrated propensity to cheat. Yeah, if there were a way to bet on it, I'd bet he took them. It just bothers me when people come forth with absolute statements that Sammy did roids when there is no evidence that would come close to not being thrown out of court that he did.
