John Rocker steroids

According to the Associated Press, "Two more people linked to a nationwide investigation into the illegal sale of steroids were arraigned Tuesday on drug-related charges as published reports implicated more athletes, including former star relief pitcher John Rocker... SI.com reported that Rocker, 1996 Olympic wrestling gold-medalist Kurt Angle, major leaguer David Bell and Victor Martinez, winner of the latest Ohio bodybuilding competition named for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, all showed up on a client list of Applied Pharmacy, a Mobile, Ala., company raided in connection with the investigation."

So Rocker, Angle, David Bell and others are now involved in an investigation that has already implicated Gary Matthews Jr. and Evander Hollyfield, among others. Rocker claims that he took HGH for medical reasons; Bell says something along the same lines.

Cool Re: John Rocker steroids

Rocker should have been on medication for schizophrenia - not steroids.

Re: John Rocker steroids

Whatever the ball players say doesn't really make a difference. MLB didn't have a policy against it at the time. And besides, the Feds want the distributors to prosecute.

But it is interesting to see who was on something and when.
