MLB took another hit with the news that David Ortiz tested positive in 2003 for PED (performance enhancing drugs) and is reeling right now. Ortiz happens to be another one of the players that is on the "list" that everyone keeps talking about. A few years back, MLB did some anonymous testing of players, and promised their names would never be released to the media.Since then, one by one, players are being outed in a way I find to be despicable. I am not condoning steroids, but I am condemning MLB for tricking its players into coming forward and then feeding them to the wolves. Now it seems players and coaches alike are getting tired of this modern day burning at the stake, and are calling for this "list" to be revealed.
Over at Rotoworld.com, there's a forum discussion where the "alleged" anonymous steroid list has been leaked. The names listed are somewhat surprising, but then again not. Now its not certain whether this list is legit or not, so read it knowing that. I noticed there are more Redsox, and Yankee players than other teams, but be that as it may, there are some interesting names, and some surprising. One thing to consider; the players on this list are frequent visitors to the disabled list which makes sense considering the negative affects of steroids on a persons body. The list is after the jump but first my list:
Names I expected that are on the list? Barry Bonds, Ortiz, Manny, Sosa.

Pujols must be getting some amazing shit to not make the list. Had to expect Nomar was on it based on his quote yesterday.
that remains to be seen. I think thats what the clear was suppose to be; but alas even that wasn't stealth enough
