2003 Steroid List Another Hoax? Rotoinfo Publishes "Unconfirmed" List

Rotoinfo, a fantasy sports information site has published a list of players who supposedly tested positive for performance enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball’s 2003 anonymous survey testing (see below). The site describes the list as "rumored" and "unconfirmed" but maintains the source of the list as “trusted.”

Deadspin (among others) was quick to discredit the list. It notes that Jason Grimsley’s name is absent even though Grimsley, in a 2006 search warrant affidavit, admitted that he was told by Gene Orza in 2004 that he had tested positive.

But there are more players who are noticeably absent from the list.

David Segui also has said he was told by Orza that he was on the list. The Mitchell Report refers to an unnamed player who was told by Orza that he had tested positive in 2003. Independently, Kirk Radomski told Mitchell that the same player had told him (Radomski) the same story shortly after the conversation between the player and Orza occurred in 2004. When Kirk Radomski published his book, Bases Loaded, he confirmed that the unnamed player in the Mitchell Report was Segui.

I knew that Senator Mitchell was quoting David Segui (about the 2003 positive test) because David had told me exactly the same thing.

Also in Bases Loaded, Roadomski says that Larry Bigbie tested positive as well.

Both Jason Gimsley and Larry Bigbie also said that they'd been told that they had failed the obviously not-so-anonymous tests in 2003.

Leaks have been such a part of the story of the Steroid Era that we’ll reprint the list here. But take this with a enormous grain of salt. If you’ll remember, on the eve of the release of the Mitchell Report, a list of players said to be in the report caused quite a stir. That list proved to be bogus.

When asked by Deadspin why the list only contained 103 names instead of the widely reported 104, the "RotoInfo Team" stated that their original list contained Jeromy Burnitz’s name twice.

Deapspin also points out that Rotoinfo’s sources have proved unreliable in the past. On May 12, 2009 the site published the following on Twitter.

According to sources close MLB Lance Berkmans name has been floating around the commissioners office as a possible 50 game suspension looms

This of course has never come to fruition, although it’s not out of the realm of possibility that it is going through an appeal process behind closed doors.

As is being pointed out on forums all across the internet, the number of "star" players on the list seems very disproportionate. There are very few mediocre players or minor leaguers on 40-man rosters, making the list even harder to believe.

Sammy Sosa Tested Positive for PED in 2003 Survey Testing

According to the New York Times, Sammy Sosa was one of the 104 players to test positive for a performance enhancing drug in Major League Baseball’s 2003 supposedly anonymous survey testing. The Times’ Michael Schmidt, cited "lawyers with knowledge of the drug-testing results" but said they did not know for which drug Sosa had tested positive.

There has been a legal battle about the 2003 test results since they were seized during the BALCO investigation in 2004. The issue became particularly controversial because investigators had a subpoena for 10 players connected to BALCO but seized the entire list.

There is some speculation that this could leave Sosa open to possible perjury charges stemming from his congressional testimony in 2005. The following is an excerpt from Sosa’s statement.

"To be clear, I have never taken illegal performance-enhancing drugs. I have never injected myself or had anyone inject me with anything… I've not broken the laws of the United States or the laws of the Dominican Republic… I have been tested as recently as 2004, and I am clean."

According to ESPN, citing a "highly placed Major League Baseball source," eight of the 104 players that tested positive in 2003 did so for a substance that was not banned by Major League Baseball at the time.

So if it turns out that Sosa tested positive for something like Androstendione, he likely wouldn’t be the target of a perjury investigation. Andro was still legal in the United States and not banned by MLB until 2004 but may have returned a positive test. The use of Andro at that time would not contradict the above statement.

That being said, if Sosa tested positive for something that was banned by MLB at the time, like a controlled anabolic steroid (illegal without a valid prescription), it appears that a strong case could be made for perjury as his statements to congress were well after his positive test.

Sosa joins Alex Rodriguez, David Segui and Jason Grimsley as players who reportedly tested positive in 2003.

Baseball's Steroid Era is now keeping a running list of the 104 players that tested positive in 2003 as they continue to leak. The link is also permanently available in the sidebar under "Steroids in Baseball Resources."

Richard Thomas, Florida Based PED Dealer, May Implicate Washington Nationals Players

A major steroid bust in Florida may implicate players from the Washington Nationals. Former bodybuilder and personal trainer, Richard “Andy” Thomas, arrested for importing and distributing steroids, told police that he sold steroids to players on the Nationals and the National Hockey League’s Washington Capitals.

Thomas and his wife, Sandra, were both charged with ten counts of "possession with intent to distribute", ten counts of "importation," and one count of "maintaining a dwelling for drug sales." Thomas reportedly told investigators that he was the largest PED dealer in central Florida. Polk County Sheriff, Grady Judd, informed the media of Thomas’ statements, but stressed that there was not as of yet any corroboration.

"I sent a supervisor in with a detective, and [Thomas] confirmed, 'Yes, I've sold steroids to professional football, professional baseball and professional hockey players… When asked for specifics, he said the Washington Capitals and D.C. Nationals. At this point in the investigation, I have absolutely nothing to corroborate those statements."

Investigators seized over $200 000 worth of steroids and other performance enhancing drugs. But according to ESPN’s TJ Quinn, the drugs were not the type typically used by athletes under a testing program.

However, two sources indicated that the steroids seized at the Thomas house aren't the variety typically used by athletes who are subject to regular drug testing. The steroids itemized in the arrest affidavits generally stay in the system for a relatively long period of time.

"It is more the veterinary type steroids and not the nice commercially compounded stuff," one of the sources said.

The names of Thomas’ clients will likely be revealed eventually, whether by government investigators or Thomas himself.

Law enforcement officials made pains to say that they were not in a position to release names of any specific athletes that Thomas may or may not have identified. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said authorities would have a better idea about Thomas' clientele after they examine his home computer and review mountains of documents seized from the house.

In a “jailhouse interview,” Thomas told the New York Daily News that he first used steroids because he “wanted to be like Arnold (Schwarzenegger).” Thomas declined to elaborate on his statement that he supplied players on the Nationals and Capitals, but said he would tell his story when he got out of jail.

"Get me out of here and you'll get a huge story."

Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League are both investigating the matter.

"We don't know much about it, and that's why we'll look into it," said Rich Levin, MLB's vice president for public relations.

Manny Ramirez Suspension Breakdown, HCG, DHEA

The Los Angeles Times has the complete breakdown of the Manny Ramirez suspension. Ramirez was ultimately suspended for a Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) prescription found after a spring training drug test revealed elevated levels of testosterone.

Elevated testosterone levels are discovered through a testosterone-epitestosterone (T:E) ratio test. A normal T:E ratio is 1:1. According to the Times, Ramirez’s was at least 4:1.

Ramirez had intended to appeal a potential suspension for elevated testosterone by arguing that the spike in his T:E ratio was caused by Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). DHEA is an over-the-counter testosterone booster banned by the Olympics and other professional sports leagues, but still legal in the United States and not banned by Major League Baseball.

According to the Times the following sequence of events led to Ramirez’s suspension.

• During a routine spring training drug test, Ramirez’s sample was "flagged for having an unusually elevated synthetic testosterone level."
• Ramirez’s representatives were "expected" to appeal any suspension on the basis of an inflated T:E ratio by arguing that Ramirez had used DHEA.
• During the ensuing investigation, MLB found evidence that Ramirez had been prescribed HCG without a "therapeutic use" exemption.
• MLB moved to suspend Ramirez on the basis of the HCG prescription and Ramirez withdrew his appeal.

According to Professor Christiane Ayotte, director of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accredited lab responsible for Ramirez’s test, DHEA can be distinguished from other sources of testosterone.

One of the three sources with information about the test results said baseball had three "powerful analytic foundations" to say the positive drug test was not caused by DHEA.

First, scientists have testified in other doping cases that DHEA does not raise an average person's T-E ratio (1:1) to more than 4:1, where Ramirez's was, the source said. Second, MLB could produce the player's urine sample showing how much manufactured DHEA was in his system. Finally, the WADA lab conducts a Carbon Isotope Ratio (CIR) test on DHEA that identifies the level of the substance and whether it was naturally occurring or manufactured.

"We can show the difference, with DHEA [and] testosterone . . . the CIR tells us if it's natural or doping," Ayotte said, again speaking generally about her lab's procedures. "There's no miracle in nature."

Even if previous DHEA use boosted natural testosterone production after the substance had left the system, Ayotte said the CIR can establish if synthetic testosterone caused a significant T-E ratio spike.

So not only can the lab determine if DHEA is present, but MLB would have known all along if Ramirez’s had used DHEA even though it is not banned.

The lab report would include whether the individual tested positive for DHEA even though Ayotte added, "We know DHEA is not on baseball's prohibited list of substances."

A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez Released, MLB Investigating

Selena Roberts’ much hyped book, A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez, was released May 4. The New York Times had already reported that Major League Baseball began investigating Rodriguez shortly after meeting with MLB officials on March 1. According to the Times, MLB "heightened" its investigation when learning that allegations in the book contradicted what Rodriguez had told them. Roberts said she was contacted by MLB as part of their investigation but declined to cooperate.

"I said that as a journalist, I cover MLB, and cooperating with them on this would be a conflict of interest, and he said that he understood the position that I am in."

These are the claims that likely have drawn the attention of MLB.

• An unnamed former teammate said Rodriguez began using steroids in high school
• Rodriguez’s teammates noticed side-effects of steroid use, specifically rapid weight gain and Gynecomastia, before the 2005 season with the Yankees
• A unnamed MLB player witnessed Rodriguez and former Yankee, Kevin Brown, with HGH at Yankee Stadium
• Banned trainer, Angel Presinal, may have been involved with Rodriguez’s use of PED’s

Rodriguez has refused to comment thus far, as has commissioner, Bud Selig. Some of those associated with Rodriguez in high school have come to his defense however. Doug Mientkiewicz, who played with Rodriguez in high school, is certain Rodriguez was clean.

"From my perspective, it would be 99.9% impossible for us not to know,"

"You're basically accusing every kid that's gone through puberty that they're on steroids too, huh? He gained a couple of inches height-wise too, if I remember right… I knew what he looked like in ninth grade. He was skinny. Who isn't in ninth grade? He was very dedicated back then, he worked harder than anyone else."

Former coach, Rich Hoffman, told the Associated Press that he too doesn’t believe Rodriguez used in high school.

"What would be alarming is if somebody didn't work and got a lot bigger. But the fact is, he was the hardest-working guy around. No reason to be alarmed. I was in the weight room, I was in the classroom, I was in the field every day that he was there. And the work ethic was definitely there."

Roberts acknowledged that some of her information was circumstantial, but defended her assertions from the book.

"I've talked to players who say he was using in high school, but if you want to discard that, you look at the physical evidence," she told the AP. "You look at a player who by his own coach's account was unrecognizable his junior year because his body had changed so much. Scouts didn't recognize him. In his sophomore year he could barely bench press 100 pounds. By his junior year, he was bench pressing 300 pounds."

Manny Ramirez Suspended 50 Games for HCG, Investigation by MLB, Artificial Testosterone

Manny Ramirez has been suspended for 50 games by Major League Baseball under its Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. According to ESPN, Ramirez was suspended for using Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) after high levels of testosterone detected during a Spring Training drug test triggered an investigation. HCG is a fertility drug often used by athletes between cycles of steroids and has been banned by MLB since 2008.

Ramirez's case was set off when a test in spring training revealed he had elevated levels of testosterone in his body. MLB followed up with a more comprehensive test that confirmed the testosterone had to come from an artificial source, the sources said.

While investigating, MLB obtained documents that indicated Ramirez's use of hCG, and it was those documents that formally were used to hand down the 50-game suspension. Baseball decided to suspend Ramirez for only hCG because, in the end, he would have been suspended for just the 50 games either way. There was a chance Ramirez could have proved that the testosterone did not come from a banned substance, the MLB source said.

According to Mark Fainaru-Wada and TJ Quinn, the testosterone found by MLB was artificial though Ramirez was suspended for HCG because MLB had documentation to support its case for the fertility drug while a suspension for elevated testosterone levels could have been more easily be challenged by Ramirez.

Testing by Major League Baseball showed that Ramirez had testosterone in his body that was not natural and came from an artificial source, two people with knowledge of the case told ESPN's Mark Fainaru-Wada and T.J. Quinn. The sources said that in addition to the artificial testosterone, Ramirez was identified as using the female fertility drug human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG.

The sources said Ramirez was suspended for using hCG because baseball had documentation to prove his use of the drug. A Major League Baseball source said Ramirez's representatives indicated they would fight a suspension for using artificial testosterone.

There are very few legitimate uses for HCG in men. It’s typically used in conjunction with anabolic steroids, though not at the same time. It helps stimulate the natural production of testosterone after a cycle of steroids. It’s no secret that players have used HCG as part of performance enhancing drug regimens. MLB players Jay Gibbons and David Bell have previously been linked to HCG during the Albany D.A. led investigation into Anti-Aging clinics and online pharmacies. But according to one of the investigators in that case, its use is much more common than previously reported.

Mark Haskins, formerly an investigator for the New York State Department of Health, said places such as the Palm Beach Rejuvenation Center routinely sent out hCG along with testosterone and Winstrol (stanozolol).

"I spent four years investigating this stuff, and 90 percent of the orders contained hCG," he said.

Ramirez issued a statement.

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. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now. I do want to say one other thing; I've taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past five seasons. I want to apologize to Mr. McCourt, Mrs. McCourt, Mr. Torre, my teammates, the Dodger organization, and to the Dodger fans. LA is a special place to me and I know everybody is disappointed. So am I. I'm sorry about this whole situation.

JC Romero Sues Supplement Maker After Suspension

JC Romero has filed a lawsuit against Ergopharm, Inc. and Proviant Technologies, the manufacturer and distributor of 6-OXO Extreme, the supplement that Romero claims caused him to test positive for androstenedione (or a derivative) on August 26 2008. Romero appealed his suspension but Major League Baseball ruled Romero "negligent" and his suspension was upheld.

Romero’s civil suit states that employees from The Vitamin Shoppe in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and a GNC in Fairhope, Alabama assured Romero that 6-OXO Extreme would not cause a positive test. Romero reportedly also spoke with a nutritionist, though he never contacted MLB. The supplement does not list andro as one of its ingredients.

The suit cites the following damages.

• Loss of past income and earning capacity in an amount to be proven at trail.
• Lost of future income and earning capacity.
• Past and future pain, suffering and humiliation.
• Loss of enjoyment of life, past and future.

Romero spoke out in a telephone interview with MLB.com.

"I think it's the right thing to do, not only for myself, but for the rest of the athletes… I think the manufacturer has a lot of culpability in this case. It's the reason why I'm suspended in the first place. "

"I don't want this to happen again to anybody else. I think that's the most important thing. We're trying to do the right thing for the game of baseball. At the same time, this is a bigger issue than just trying to clean up the game of baseball. We've got situations where certain manufactures are making products that have some tainted ingredients in it, and some ingredients that are banned. That results in a tainted supplement. I don't think that's right. If you do something wrong, you've got to pay for it."

Ergopharm is run by Patrick Arnold, the chemist best known for creating androstenedione and BALCO’s now infamous undetectable steroid, The Clear. Arnold issued a statement in response to Romero's lawsuit.

"In a time of well documented steroid scandals, increased scrutiny of athletes, allegations of contaminated supplements and improved drug testing protocols… If an athlete chooses to ignore an explicit warning on the label of a dietary supplement product, fails to conduct reasonable inquiry, and thereafter the athlete tests positive for a banned substance, the athlete should take responsibility for their actions. If he refuses to do so, and attempts to blame others, his claims should be properly rejected both within the legal system and in the court of public opinion."

Romero’s lawyer, David Cornwell responded to Arnold in an email to the Associated Press.

"One should consider the source and the fact that the statement fails to address the presence of androstenedione, a controlled substance, in 6-OXO EXTREME. In my opinion, after injury and age, companies like Proviant may be the next greatest threat to the careers of athletes who use nutritional supplements."

6-OXO Extreme has been removed from both GNC and The Vitamin Shoppe’s websites.

Alex Rodriguez Steroids Allegations in New Book, New York Yankees, High School

The New York Daily News’ Tracy Conner is reporting details from Selena Roberts soon to be released book, A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez. According to Conner, Roberts claims that Rodriguez may have been using steroids as early as high school as well as during his time with the New York Yankees beginning in 2004.

Roberts and David Epstein first reported that Rodriguez had tested positive for Primobolan (an anabolic steroid) and testosterone in 2003. Two days later Rodriguez admitted using a "banned substance" nicknamed "Boli" from 2001 to 2003 while with the Texas Rangers.

Claims that Rodriguez used steroids and/or HGH with the Yankees would directly contradict what he has said thus far.

An unnamed major-leaguer is quoted as saying Rodriguez and steroid-tainted pitcher Kevin Brown were seen together with human growth hormone - HGH - in 2004.

Brown, who was named in the Mitchell Report on steroids, denied through a lawyer that he ever shared the hormone with the highest-paid player in baseball.

Two other anonymous Yankees said they believed A-Rod was using based on side effects they saw - and a clubhouse staffer said management wondered if he was using banned substances.

Rodriguez was also reportedly nicknamed "Bitch Tits" by his teammates in New York in 2005. "Bitch Tits" refers to Gynecomastia, a condition causing breast enlargement in males, and is a known side effect of some anabolic steroids.

Allegations that Rodriguez used PEDs with the Yankees wouldn’t just get him in trouble with the fans in New York, they could draw the attention of Major League Baseball. If there is conclusive evidence that Rodriguez used steroids in 2004 or later, when MLB’s first substantial drug policy was in place, Rodriguez might be subject to a suspension.

That said, the allegations from Rodriguez’s high school years will likely prove to be the most controversial.

Rodriguez put on 25 pounds of muscle between his sophomore and junior years, and word was that his connection was a dog kennel owner.

A former high school teammate told Roberts the future No.1 MLB draft pick was on steroids and his coach knew it.

Another student said the son of coach Rich Hofman admitted he saw Rodriguez use steroids.

Jose Canseco, who has accused Rodriguez of using steroids as far back as 2007, believes Rodriguez was using in high school.

"Was he on steroids in high school?" (Canseco) said. "I think probably so. I worked out with him when he was 18. He could lift almost as much as I could."

The allegations in the Daily News report do not contain any conclusive evidence, but Roberts’ reporting has thus far proved thorough and accurate.

The book also details the non-baseball aspects of Rodriguez’s life.

The 255-page book also chronicles A-Rod's off-the-field escapades: his poker habit; his divorce from his wife, Cynthia; the relationship with Madonna, and dalliances with out-of-town floozies.
