Well, Red Sox Nation, I hope you are happy.The two centerpieces of the Red Sox World Championship runs in 2004 and 2007 have been revealed for taking steroids.
Both players were two of the one hundred players listed in the Mitchell Report that was released during the winter of 2008 that had tested postive for steroid use during the 2003 season.
For Ramirez, this just confirms that his recent bout with steroids was no fantasy. Ramirez was caught in April for taking a female steroid and had to serve a 50 game suspension because of it.
As for Ortiz, this story is all about him. Ortiz has consistently denied ever having used steroids and has been very critical of any baseball player who had ever taken the cheating drug. Now, he has to eat his own words; oops. Story.
Who will be next? Curt Shilling? He has denied steroid use. Albert Pujols? He has denied steroid use. Mike Piazza? Ken Griffey Jr.? Ricky Henderson, who was just inducted into the Hall of Fame this past weekend? The merry-go-round continues to turn and turn and turn. Brass ring, anyone?
