Steroid Use in Baseball: Players

Steroid Use in Baseball: Players - House Oversight Committee - 2005-03-17 - 185904-2-DVD - House Committee Government Reform and Oversight. Current and former Major League Baseball players testified about the use of steroids in professional baseball and other sports. Among the issues they addressed were several recent allegations of steroid use by players to enhance performance, their personal observations of steroid use in the industry, contract negotiations between players and owners over the implementation of stricter testing, and the impact of steroid use on public perceptions of the game and on youth attitudes toward steroid use. The committee called the hearings in response to Mr. Canseco's book, Juiced, in which he admitted to using steroids to enhance performance and made allegations that other players were actively engaging in the practice. Prior to the hearings Mr. Canseco had sought immunity and had suggested that he would invoke his Fifth Amendment rights if forced to testify. He did not invoke those rights at the hearing. Other players testifying denied using steroids. On August 1, 2005 Mr. Palmeiro received a ten day suspension from baseball after testing positive for steroid use. In this hearing he denied ever using steroids or performance enhancing drugs. Filmed by C-SPAN. Non-commercial use only. For more information, see www.c-spanvideo.org/program/18...

No doubt about it and I'm a Cubs fan. Apparently the reason McGwire was so hush hush is because he had been retired for 4 years and the statute of limitations on steroid usage is 5 years. So if he had said anything he could have opened himself up to prosecution and that's why his lawyers told him to basically just make a complete moron of himself.

1998. 😔😖

[@hectorlopez1069]

Exactly, I enjoy that season before mcgwire said, he used steroids in that season. That damaged that 98 year.

[@adamdorgant9454]

You’re right about that!!!!

[@NewWaveFan1]

Looking back on this I wasn't shocked when finding out who was and who wasn't on them besides Raffy. I remember Miguel Tejada tainted something and gave it to Raffy so Miguel wasn't caught and the blame went to Palmerio. Shady. Sosa never tested positive but had a corked bat later on. Schilling was a so so pitcher who later did okay in the postseason.

Canseco is the only guy telling the truth. Respect for him. The rest are cons

[@hectorlopez1069]

Canseco was honest, but he took roids too.

@@adamdorgant9454 I’m genuinely confused, was Schilling juicing or not? He seemed particularly adamant against P.E.D.’s, and it seems legitimate. I googled it but it’s not clear to me.

Not only can he not speak our language in our American game but he chose to take steroids to get a unfair advantage,, he should have payed to learn our language instead.

Steroids don't have that extreme difference it takes ability and talent to hit a round ball with a round bat at 85-95 mph put them players along with pete rose in the hof

Schilling seems like he always was a douche and apparently a liar, though it's funny how vehemently he calls Canseco won. Up to 5-10 players in the 19 years he's spent in baseball? Really? McGwire, Sosa and Palmeiro are like three good friends, or even three brothers. The oldest brother says one thing, and the other two just go along with whatever he says. Canseco seems the most 'eloquent' here. I guess him speaking out and exposing the huge problem makes him a villain to a lot of players of that era. Omertà seems to be as strong in MLB as it is in many professional leagues. Anytime anyone says something to rattle the establishment, he/she is scolded and called names.
