The New York Times is reporting today that Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz failed the "anonymous" drug test done in 2003. This was the same test result that was leaked that revealed that A-Rod truly was A-Fraud.
Is it me, or is this the worst kept secret we've seen in a while? The MLBPA is a very powerful union, one that was assured these tests would not only be anonymous, they would be destroyed. How did they allow this to happen?
At this point, the guys who have been outed have to call for the rest of the names to be revealed, just to make them look a little, uh, better, right?

I heard an interesting comment on this on ESPN yesterday -- someone suggested the MLBPA is actually doing more harm than good by not releasing the list at this point, because each leaked player becomes a big deal and gets plastered all over the media, whereas if they just put out all 104 names, the public would likely shrug its collective shoulders and say, "well, it looks like everybody was doing it."
ReplyDeleteI bet there are a bunch of Yankees fans crying foul over Ortiz/Ramirez, totally ignoring A-Rod, Clemens, Giambi, etc.
