Translated it sounds more like "kiss my ass, the only reason I'm admitting this is because Mr. DeWitt has brought me back into the game that I cheated for many years. If he doesn't bring me back to the game, I deny it to my grave."

he wasn't offered immunity for his testimony before congress. his refusal to discuss steroids at the time makes a lot more sense in light of that. he was basically given the choice of admitting a criminal act with no guarantee he wouldn't be prosecuted, committing perjury, or doing what he did.

i need to do some research and resurrect the barry bonds threads from a few years back. people were still insisting there was no proof he used the year he broke mcguire's "record".

those would be fun to see again.

Now the MLB office needs to restore the HR records back to it's rightfull owners:
Hank Aaron and Roger Maris. Put the freakin asterisk next to the names of all those cheaters who presently hold them!

And it is quite possible that they will mess around with his tainted HR record also

They're not going to mess with his home run record. . . especially considering he doesn't hold the record anymore. They would have to basically wipe an entire era of baseball from the record books.

That Larussa interview this morning was appaling. What a liar! Why did they even bother to have that clown on at all when they knew he has his own agenda and would defend Mcgwire to the end of the earth.

The only one telling the truth throughout all this is Jose Canseco.

remember when canseco was being crucified by any and everyone back when his tell all came out?? lol who'd have thought then he'd end up being able to laugh last?

I think he was being crucified for breaking the unwritten, "what happens in the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse" rule. He was ratting out his fellow players and that did not go over well at all.

I didn't doubt that he exaggerated a bit on some things, but the fact that nobody that he named in the book legally came after him, should tell you all you need to know.

I don't think he was exaggerating. I was told by someone who played in the 90's that steroids were anything but a secret. The players Association basically met with each team in spring training to discuss the do's and don'ts (not literally, but figuratively). After that, it was a matter of each individual deciding to use or not.

Bottom line here is anyone involved in baseball at that time that claims they knew nothing about the topic is LYING!
