John Rocker Claims Dr's taught players how to use Roids??

This same story is on ESPN. Pretty interesting! Of course, I hardly consider Rocker a great source, but it is interesting, and it does make you think a little!

What makes him a worse source than Canseco or McNabee?

I see that he's also become the first player to implicate Selig, saying the commish knew he was using. Now we're getting somewhere!

See, I have said that for years...Selig ain't dumb...but he wants us to believe he is...

And I want to believe Rocker...the dude is known for spewing whatever crazy thought he has...he doesn't measure words...which really costed him in MLB for his crazy talk...what does he care?...He ain't making a buck like Canseco either...so maybe he is more credible.

That is a good point, about him not making any money from it. Something big could shake loose from this!

Yeah, I know. But now we have someone who was in the game saying it, so it doesn't sounds like such a crazy conspiracy theory anymore. And Rocker doesn't have anything to gain, well, except a return to the headlines. Where there's smoke, there's fire, though. I full expect some sort of investigation into what the commish knew and when he knew it.

I have a question for Mr. Rocker, I believe he claimed failed this test in 2001, wasn't baseball not testing for steroids in 2001.

Rocker may have a mouth on him but that doesnt mean hes making it up. Then again why wait 8 yrs to come out with this?

This whole story of baseball players and steroids is getting ridiculous. Just my opinion

Well, its Rocker...who knows how he thinks... I think to him it's a "hey, what the heck...I thought MLB was cool with this, and now, its a witch hunt?...screw that, I am going to set the record straight."

Re: John Rocker Claims Dr's taught players how to use Roids??

A guy like Rocker is probably broke. When he opens his mouth and yells "Steroids!" for what is seemingly no financial gain at first glance, he knows that maybe the networks and other media venues will be glad to shell out money for interviews. Again, why wait so long to talk? Cuase there wasn't anything in it for these guys to squeal back when they played, but perhaps now there is. NONE of them are talking because of their professed love of the game.

Because John Rocker is insane. He acted like a pro-wrestler when he pitched, sticking his tongue out like Goldberg and making Undertaker eyes at the fans...he's a loon, this proves nothing to me at least.
