IATMS: Rosenberg: They said it: Steroids in baseball

Take a stab!

Was having a baseball discussion last night and we were talking about some of the dumber, embarassing, silly comments made during a player’s admission to PED use.  My buddy gave me a few and I’ve added to that list below, expanding the list to include other people in the game of baseball, not just offending players.  See if you can match the comment with the offending party:

  1. “If I took steroids, I could dunk. Never mind baseball, I could play in the NBA.”
  2. “I don’t know if steroids are going to help you in baseball. I just don’t believe it. I don’t believe steroids can help eye-hand coordination [and] technically hit a baseball.”
  3. “There is no evidence andro does anything bad or good.”
  4. “If you want privacy go play semi-pro ball. drug use hurts baseball. Why should we pay millions of dollars to these guys and have them go on the disabled list?”
  5. “Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me. Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy.”
  6. “I have never intentionally used steroids. Never. Ever. Period.”
  7. “Who would do the testing? Will results be kept private? Or will they be leaked to the media? What about false positives? You think it’s going to be confidential? I laugh at that.”
  8. “Steroids don’t help you hit a baseball.”

And more…
