August 18, 200521 yr I've been hearing recently through different reports that a certain old SP from Houston and a CF from Boston will be suspended on Friday for violating the substance abuse policy.. It's a rumor but it's starting to pick up steam.. Also, Lang Whitaker mentioned it in his column: http://slamonline.com/links/08152005/ Now I find it odd with those Clemens comments the other day (for those that dont know.. Clemens said he needed ``to get off this medicine that's tearing my ...'' before stopping himself. He would not say what medication he was taking, and then quickly said the medicine was not causing the problem... Weird.. Like I said it's a RUMOR but would not be surprised anymore! I put Rumor there because that's what it is. I have no idea if this is true. But like I said.. Who knows anymore..
August 18, 200521 yr You do know Clemens is taking back pain medicine? And where did you 'hear' this...a message board?
August 18, 200521 yr Author You do know Clemens is taking back pain medicine? 905933[/snapback] Why, yes I do.. No reason to jump on me for posting what I've heard.. That's why it's a RUMOR!! :lol

That's why it's a RUMOR!! :lol 905936[/snapback] Rumors that sling mud are pointless and not worthy of a thread just to stir things up. Again, where did you 'hear' this?
August 18, 200521 yr There is no way MLB would let Clemens test positive. They would be shooting themselves in the balls if they did this. This would be 1000000000000000x worse for MLB than Palmeiro testing positive.
August 18, 200521 yr Author Alright.. Every baseball forum I basically go to I've saw something about this. Bash me or not, personally I dont care. That's where I've 'saw' and I've 'heard' this on the radio. I'm not believing anything but it's certainly starting to pick up wether it's true or not. I guess we'll find out if it's true on Friday. I'm saying it's 90% not just for the record.
August 18, 200521 yr Nobody should bash you, you CLEARLY stated this is "rumor". It is something interesting to talk about for sure, especially if this continues to gain steam. And on a side note, Johnny Damon.....I simply can't put my mind around that, I REALLY hope that is just a rumor.
August 18, 200521 yr So the user CJE15 must be an insider? And as for the notion that this is on all the big baseball sites, sons of sam horn has nothing on this and even the notion that a player from boston could be included in the rumors...they would be all over it.
August 18, 200521 yr Clemens overall though doesn't look drastically different than in years past. Sure his performance so far this season is his best ever, but alot of pitchers are having careers above them.
August 18, 200521 yr FWIW, a guy on soxtalk.com, who said 2 days before the news broke his source told him Palmeiro tested positive (I was there to see it) has posted exactly what CJE15 said here. This automatically makes this rumor pick up steam for me since the guy said the Palmeiro announcement was coming 2 days before it did.
