2004 O's Rife With Roid Raps

Posted Sep 28, 07 6:55 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – As former Senator George Mitchell's MLB steroid investigation continues, it is the 2004 Baltimore Orioles who are coming up again and again in allegations of performance-enhancing drug use, the Baltimore Sun reports. This month, injured outfielder Jay Gibbons was revealed to have had steroids and human growth hormone shipped to his house.

Gibbons is the latest of eight players linked to 'roids or hGH who played for the Orioles in either '03 or '04; the first being Rafael Palmeiro, who failed a random drug test and was suspended only months after he proclaimed himself clean of performance enhancers in congressional testimony.
