Palmeiro tests positive for 'roids
It was about six month ago when Rafael Palmeiro sat in front of Congress and unequivocally denies the allegations put forth by former Rangers teammate Jose Canseco on the use of performance enhancing drugs. Fast forward to more recent times as Palmeiro crossed the 3,000 hit plateau this season and then to today, when he was suspended for testing positive for anabolic steroids. The 40-year-old Palmeiro became the seventh player to fail a test under the toughened major league policy that took effect in March, rules criticized by Congress as not being stringent enough. Without giving specifics, the four-time All-Star left the impression that the banned substance was contained in a supplement that was not prescribed. Either way, this could keep him out of the Cooperstown and it surely makes Rafael Palmeiro look like a real a$$. Since this is his first offence, he will be suspended for 10 games.
