Palmeiro suspended 10 days for violating steroids policy!

[Hillfan]

From an AP sports writer:<br><br>"Rafael Palmeiro was suspended Monday for violating Major League Baseball's steroids policy, nearly five months after telling Congress that ``I have never used steroids. Period.'' <br><br>Palmeiro two weeks ago collected his 3,000th hit, joining Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Eddie Murray as the only players with 3,000 hits and 500 homers. <br><br>Palmeiro, 40, is the seventh and highest-profile player to test positive under the major league policy adopted earlier this year."<br><br><br>I would have NEVER thought. He just becomes the 4th guy in the 3,000 hit-500 homer club and now he's nailed for steroids. Boy is this ever going to be interesting. I really loved Palmeiro for his great, very quiet career, but now this comes into play?<br><br>I'm going to be interested to see the reactions of fans and players about this one....<br><br><br>Oh by the way, does this hurt his Hall of Fame chances if it's true?<br> <br> <br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p074.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ...

Shocking... to say the least <br><br>I think this could almost kill his HoF chances. ESPN.com has a poll going about that and it isn't looking good for it. He was the one player at the table during the hearings that I actually believed didn't take steroids, I guess I was wrong<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :x --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/sick.gif ALT=":x"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> .
