The Signature Pharmacy Scandal adds another name to the list of players implicated. According to ESPN, in 2003 and 2004 while a member of the White Sox, Scott Schoeneweis received six shipments of steroids.

"According to a source in Florida close to the ongoing investigation of Signature, Schoeneweis' name appears on packages that were sent to Comiskey Park while the White Sox were battling to win the AL Central title in 2003. Two more shipments arrived at the stadium in 2004, months before Schoeneweis underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow."

"The source who reviewed the invoices said that Schoeneweis spent $1,160 on the steroids. The packages he received on May 23 and June 25, 2003, contained 10 milliliter bottles of both testosterone and stanozolol. The package sent on Sept. 3 had double the dose of stanozolol -- the same drug that caused Rafael Palmiero to be suspended for 10 games in 2005 after it showed up in his urine. The last three shipments -- on Nov. 18, 2003, and April 15 and June 24, 2004 -- contained one 10 ml bottle of testosterone.

Gary Wadler, a physician and member of the World Anti-Doping Agency, said that while it might make sense for someone with hormone deficiencies to take testosterone, he had never heard of anyone taking stanozolol to help with the affliction."


This is the same scandal that has implicated Rick Ankiel, Troy Glaus, Jay Gibbons, Rodney Harrison, Cowboys QB coach Wade Wilson and 11 WWE contracted pro wrestlers (not including Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit and Brian Adams, all are now deceased).
