Yet another one bites the dust…
Sammy Sosa, who joined with Mark McGwire in 1998 in a celebrated pursuit of baseball’s single-season home run record, is among the players who tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug in 2003, according to lawyers with knowledge of the drug-testing results from that year.
The disclosure that Sosa tested positive makes him the latest baseball star of the last two decades to be linked to performance enhancers, a group that now includes McGwire, Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez and Rafael Palmeiro.
Sosa, who is sixth on Major League Baseball’s career home run list and last played in 2007, had long been suspected of using performance-enhancing drugs, but until now had never been publicly linked to a positive test.
What more can we say? Surprised? Of course not.
And now we’re going to have to continue to bleed out the balance of the 104, 103 102 names not currently known. Which is equal parts dumb, sad and painful. I’m still torn on this. Should the 102 left in anonymity be kept there until someone outs them, or should MLB and the MLBPA agree to release the list and just get it over with?
Sing it with me: One hundred and four dirty ballplayers on the wall, one hundred and four dirty players. Take one down, write a book about it…one hundred and three dirty ballplayers on the wall…

Publish all their names.Also the steroid era has never ended its just beginning
It just sickens me that these guys underwent anonymous testing and now their names are leaked. I’m no fan of A-Rod or Sosa, but it’s not right for them to be tested anonymously, then identified. This is why it was so hard to get the MLBPA to agree to any testing in the first place and their worst nightmares have come true. No wonder people don’t trust anyone.
