WagerWeb.com POSTS ODDS ON: ?WHO WILL BE THE NEXT BIG NAME MLB PLAYER TO TEST POSITIVE FOR STEROIDS??
(Zapote, Costa Rica, 5 August 2005) It finally happened and happened in a big way. A future Hall of Famer tested positive for steroids under the new MLB steroid policy. Baltimore Orioles first baseman and surefire future Hall of Famer Rafael Palmerio was suspended for 10 games after testing positive for a banned substance under the new policy that was put in effect this season. It has brought fire back to the steroids in baseball debate that had calmed in recent months. Palmerio was the 7th player to test positive, but by far the most recognizable.
Now baseball fans and baseball haters alike are turning their thoughts to not only what this means for someone like Palmerio and the game of baseball itself, but also asking when will it end? Now that a high profile player like Palmerio has tested positive, it shows that the new MLB steroid policy does not pick and choose who tests positive. That could be a good and a bad thing at the same time. A good thing because no one is untouchable, but a bad thing because it doesn?t seem to really be stopping anybody. Palmerio, who just got his 3000th hit in July, will be tarnished forever, but most likely will still get into the Hall of Fame and, possibly, on the first ballot.
"Every time someone tests positive, it is an embarrassment for the game of baseball," said WagerWeb.com CEO Dave Johnson. "Players just don?t seem to care about their legacy being tarnished forever as long as they can get into the Hall of Fame or make more money. With the recent amazing play of New York Yankees admitted former steroid user Jason Giambi, we have made him a considerable favorite to test positive next for steroid use. Another player garnering attention right now is 43-year old pitcher, Roger Clemens. Gamblers seem to think that there may be something else fueling ?The Rocket? who at the time of this release led the majors with a 1.45 ERA.?
