The list of unknown baseball players who tested positive in the supposedly anonymous steroids survey of 2003 is now down to 97 with David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez being ousted as part of the Gang of 104. It is believed that almost all of the remaining “gang members” will come out, in bunches or individually, to clear the dark clouds surrounding the spirit of the game of baseball.
From TimesUnion.com:
The remaining 97 positives, active or not, should be running to the nearest podium to call a news conference and admit guilt. Coming clean rather than being exposed is the best route to navigate the court of public opinion. See: Pettitte, Andy – or, conversely, Clemens, Roger.
Sure, they could gamble that their names would remain private, as the athletes were guaranteed six years ago. But that’s not going to happen, is it? So here’s a cheat sheet (apt phrase) that players can use to cop a plea in an attempt to get ahead of this slowly chugging freight train of a story.
Now that the number of steroid-accused baseball players is reducing with almost every passing day, sporting bodies and fans must surely be enjoying a big sigh of relief. After all, steroids and baseball have long being co-related with each other, especially after the steroids survey of 2003.
