Steroid Use in Baseball: Players

Steroid Use in Baseball: Players - House Oversight Committee - 2005-03-17 - 185904-2-DVD - House Committee Government Reform and Oversight. Current and former Major League Baseball players testified about the use of steroids in professional baseball and other sports. Among the issues they addressed were several recent allegations of steroid use by players to enhance performance, their personal observations of steroid use in the industry, contract negotiations between players and owners over the implementation of stricter testing, and the impact of steroid use on public perceptions of the game and on youth attitudes toward steroid use. The committee called the hearings in response to Mr. Canseco's book, Juiced, in which he admitted to using steroids to enhance performance and made allegations that other players were actively engaging in the practice. Prior to the hearings Mr. Canseco had sought immunity and had suggested that he would invoke his Fifth Amendment rights if forced to testify. He did not invoke those rights at the hearing. Other players testifying denied using steroids. On August 1, 2005 Mr. Palmeiro received a ten day suspension from baseball after testing positive for steroid use. In this hearing he denied ever using steroids or performance enhancing drugs. Filmed by C-SPAN. Non-commercial use only. For more information, see www.c-spanvideo.org/program/18...

    No doubt about it and I'm a Cubs fan. Apparently the reason McGwire was so hush hush is because he had been retired for 4 years and the statute of limitations on steroid usage is 5 years. So if he had said anything he could have opened himself up to prosecution and that's why his lawyers told him to basically just make a complete moron of himself. Schilling didn't pull any punches though and called Jose a liar and everything. Although most of Jose's accusations probably were true at the time.

I mean if someone asks you "Would a tougher penalty system cut down on the steroid use in baseball", and you give answers like I don't know or I'm a retired player so I can't comment on it, that would believe me that they have something to hide.

    Bottom line is, people say steroids have been in the game & used by players for years. If the players felt there was no harm in using steroids & it was ok during a time in baseball when there was no policy on steroid use, then why wouldn't they come out & say, "yes I'm using or used steroids"! Well the answer is simple. Policy in place or no policy in place, players using steroids knew & have known since it's use in the game that it is & has always been wrong! Period!

Personally I think the issue of steroids and PEDs is now out of control and sadly it is happening if not in all in most sports and at all levels....very sad! The other thing I'd like to say is that personally I think they are all lying and they looked in fact scared of outcomes.

    Looking back on this I wasn't shocked when finding out who was and who wasn't on them besides Raffy. I remember Miguel Tejada tainted something and gave it to Raffy so Miguel wasn't caught and the blame went to Palmerio. Shady. Sosa never tested positive but had a corked bat later on. Schilling was a so so pitcher who later did okay in the postseason.
