CNN/SI: Gibbons received shipments of steriods

[UMDTerrapins]

Thanks Jay. Now follow Albert Belle's footsteps and live out the duration of your contract from your living room. Man I'm sick of the modern day "Oriole Way".

[wildcard]

This is sad.

Is Jay still the player rep?

[geschinger]

If the reports are correct and he acquiring them after he was well aware that they were banned the team, the league, the fans, whomever should show him no mercy.

[Jimmy Mad]

Whatever happened before stuff was banned, who cares. If something has happened since they were banned, get him out of here. If you're stupid enough to use it knowing the ramifications, I have no sympathy, especially when the guy has done nothing to help the organization recently. I highly doubt he is the last Oriole to face this situation.

Makes you wonder what else is not coming out about what happened in 2005That year somehow keeps haunting us with Raffy, Miggy with B-12, Mazzilli being whaked, and now Jay. What else happened?

[giantfan]

How come these guys didnt use a fake name, maybe he wanted to get caught.

[JTrea81]

Well if Jay Gibbons hadn't hit his wife with a foul ball, we wouldn't have had the net raised at OPACY to get rid of those liners that just cleared it. We have Gibbons to thank for that...

Just trying to find some positives in this situation...

I hope that MLB (and other sports) try to handle testing the way the olympics do. While athletes are always going to be ahead of the testing curve, the IOC seems to be the most sincere/proactive about testing for PEDs.

wasn't Clemens named in the Grimsley report?

Yes, along with Pettitte, Gibbons, Tejada, and Roberts.

But the federal prosecutor also said that newspaper report contained "significant inaccuracies", including the five names mentioned.

I think its best to think innocent until proven guilty.

Yes, they said that the Grimsley affidavit was inaccurate, but this is the Signature Pharmacy scandal. WWE has suspended/fired wrestlers and the NFL has suspended at least 2 players to my knowledge. This was a federal investigation at SI has been right on top of it.

We wont really know until the list is revealed which might not ever happen.

[scOtt]

Gibbons? No way!!!!

Come on now, let's not believe any of this until we find the smoking gunS

Fixed that for you.

Well my guess at this point would be that Gibbons' inclusion in the list was probably not one of the significant inaccuracies. With regard to the other four players, it could be that one or more of them were not in the report at all, or that Roberts/Tejada were discussed but in relation to the conversation Grimsley reported having with teammates about amphetamines rather than in reference to "anabolic steroids."

Right, but the poster above me mentioned the Grimsley report and the supposed other guilty parties. I just wanted to counter the argument.

As for this, I'm sure at some point the list will come to light. Who knows how long it may take (years), but it'll happen. In fact, with the release of Glaus and Ankiel's names, I wouldn't be surprised if the names keep coming now.
