Maybe it won’t bite him in the ass, but I imagine he got a needle there at some point. It might end up hurting him, but I think the jokes surrounding him using all those drugs and still sucking horribly are going to be worse.

Then again, I imagine Selig will send in a spy to look at his drug bag and report back, probably resulting in a suspension and a loss of pay. Bright side for the Reds may be that they don’t have to pay him a couple million dollars.

Maybe he over-shared, but other than the DUI comment, I’m not sure there’s anything he said that’s actually incorrect.  If people cared about performance enhancers for the sake of the health of the players, they’d feel the same way about other usage in other sports.  And if the owners or Selig cared about this beyond PR, thue issue would ahve been forced far sooner than it was.  And though he paints with too broad a brush in his line about DUI, he’s probably right about that as well.

Overall, he’s a below-average pitcher now, but he gets credit for being a lot more honest than most of the folks in baseball, including the sanctimonious louts in the media (not Craig).

I find it highly unlikely that he was willing to take andro and anphetemines while they were not on the banned list, but he didn’t “knowingly take” any steroids before they were made officialy off limits.

Who cares what he’s taking?  If it’s a banned substance, he should be suspended.  If not, he shouldn’t.  It doesn’t matter to me either way.  I’m just happy someone’s being honest and forthright for a change.
