Palmeiro speaks, and still denies use of PEDs

[J3-M8]

Didn't see this posted, so thought I'd share. He was just inducted into the College Baseball HOF.

Just admit it already. Then deal with it. :rolleyes:

Got caught red handed by testing positive for steroids, lied under oath (why nobody is pursuing him for perjury like they are Clemens puzzles me), and still he won't man up and admit the truth. What a waste.

Well, he definitely got caught red handed.

But, he technically didn't lie under oath because he said that stuff to Congress prior to the test that resulted in a positive test.

He sounds pretty convincing to me...and it's long been rumored (or even stated) that Tejada was the guy who gave him this "stuff". I think that Tejada's news in the Mitchell Report gives a bit of credence to Palmeiro's claim.

Still, even if we just play along with Raffy and pretend like Tejada gave him tainted B-12, shame on him for taking something without knowing all the facts after his explicit denial to Congress the previous year.

Some things that you wish would go away is this guy.

He's just a pud. I would love to be a fly on the wall though and listen to whatever he is trying to feed his wife/mistress/girlfriend or I guess even boy friend :eek:

Just found this elsewhere on the Internet...interesting.

If any of you were listening to Galloway today, his sidekick (i forget his name) asked him......."Hey, weren't you going to tell the Palmeiro story today"? Galloway said..."Which one"? Sidekick said........"The one that relates to Miguel Tejada".............Galloway said.........."No, there could be kids listening..............

Here's the story for those of you who care............

I know someone who knows Galloway pretty well and they hang out together quite a bit, and my buddy knows the story, and its a whopper......

When Palmeiro was an Oriole, he and Tejada were very good freinds for quite some time. Then one day Tejada finds out that Palmeiro slept with his wife. Tejada didnt' let on to Palmeiro that he found out.

Later in the week, as was custom, Tejada gave Palmeiro his regular "B-12 shot". Except this time it wasn't B12. It was a common variety steroid. A week goes by and Palmeiro gets tested, and BAM. Down comes the hammer from MLB.

If you remember, Palmeiro denied using steroids, and said the only thing he's ever done was had Tejada give him B12 shots. Also, if you remember, the steroid he was caught using, was the most common variety steroid known to man, and even all the reporters were asking publically why Raffy would have used that one when it was so damn detectable. I'm sure at some point it hit Palmeiro what happened, but he couldn't just hold a press conference telling the world that I slept with Tejada's wife, and Tejada shot me up with the Juice. If he had, his wife woudl have taken him for everything he had. He was screwed.

If you think about it, it was Genius on Tejada's part. Sure he could have just went up to Palmeiro and punched him, but by doing this he....

Publically humiliated Raffy
Probably won't go to the HOF
Never got another MLB job
Won't ever work for ESPN

Basically ruined the rest of his life in terms of Baseball.

A word to the wise..............don't ever PO Miguel Tejada.

Now you know the story.............and know you know why Galloway wouldn't go on air with it.

Palmeiro, who wasn't suspended until Aug. 1 because he challenged the test results, thought back to May 4, the day he was tested. His tests the previous two seasons were negative, and a test he took three weeks later was negative.I do find this a little odd...I guess it would make sense if that story is true...

So Palmerio slept with Tejada's wife and Ryne Sandberg's ex-wife?!?! Well, I cannot say that I blame Tejada. The guy works his whole life to be one of the few players with 3,000 hits and 500 HRs and his credibility is gone in a second.

He deserves to be on the outside of the HOF looking in, right along with Bonds, Clemens, Sosa, McGwire, A-Fraud, etc.
