I think the report is crap! I was quite surprised to see my favorite current player Brian Roberts on the report, but then when I read the report, it looked like he was guilty by association. He happened to live with Larry Bigbie and David Segui, who were also named in the report. I have copied the report on Brian Roberts and you can be the judge. To me, it's just heresay:
Brian Roberts
Brian Roberts is an infielder who has played for the Baltimore Orioles since 2001.
He has been selected to two All-Star teams.
Roberts and Larry Bigbie were both rookies in 2001. According to Bigbie, both
he and Roberts lived in Segui’s house in the Baltimore area during the latter part of that season.
When Bigbie and Segui used steroids in the house, Roberts did not participate.
According to Bigbie, however, in 2004 Roberts admitted to him that he had
injected himself once or twice with steroids in 2003. Until this admission, Bigbie had never
suspected Roberts of using steroids.
In order to provide Roberts with information about these allegations and to give
him an opportunity to respond, I asked him to meet with me; he declined.
There are others in the report that are implicated in the same way... just heresay. Until there is solid proof and Pud Selig and major league baseball, and all sports take a stand against it, I don't want to hear about it.
The worst part is that now high school athletes are using performance enhancing drugs because of their role models.
Unfortunately, it's all about money!
