From the ESPN.com story...
Quote:
In remarks prepared for a conference call Monday, Palmeiro said he had accepted his punishment and could not explain how the steroids got into his body.
"I have never intentionally used steroids. Never. Ever. Period," he said. "Ultimately, although I never intentionally put a banned substance into my body, the independent arbitrator ruled that I had to be suspended under the terms of the program."

I find this very upsetting, as Raffy has long been one of my favorite players.
I think, though, that I am willing to believe him based on his history, or at least to wait until we find out exactly what we're talking about.
*goes off to talk to his Palmeiro bobblehead*
