If they are going to break the law and release any names, they should all be released. It looks as though a lot of players’ records are suspect, a lot of world series victories tainted. Baseball is to blame because they refused to address the problem of drugs until after the 2003 testing.

Masschine has nailed this one: The NYTimes may have broken the law in trying to railroad Ortiz and Ramirez.

This is not the first time the NYTimes has taken fabrications and printed them as news. Exhibit A: Judith Miller. Exhibit B: Jayson Blair.

What the **** ever happened to confidential medical records? They should start outing the media and the leakers who sit on their high horses.
The players weren’t cheating. At the time of the test there weren’t any rules against it.

Anyone surprised by this? He was a warning track hitter for the Twins. And all of a sudden he’s consistently hitting 40 homers a year? *** rolls eyes at the naivety of fans***

Who. Gives. A. Shit. For starters, just release the god damn list already instead of a name a month. As much as baseball purists like to pretend, baseball has never once been a pure sport. Racial divides, spiked cleats (looking at you, Ty Cobb), gambling, raised mounds, amphetamines. You name it, baseball’s done it wrong. Steroids and other PEDs are just the latest and greatest in baseball’s sordid history.

I hope for the day when baseball players get busted, they get treated just like NFL players. They server their penalty and move on with their careers without all the fuss.

The 2004 Red Sox were just as dirty as the 2000 Yankees…2005 White Sox…2009 Phillies….etc.etc.etc

um hello!! To KP in the fan posting section…

The NY times OWNS 17% of the Red Sox… WHAT AN IDIOT. You don’t even know who owns your team! Quite Laughable!

And to ezmover2020 - you’re probably one of the guys who laughing when ARod’s name came out. I’m sure you were content with his being the only name released. I bet it wasn’t “unfair” then.

Get real…these guys CHEATED! They shouldn’t be treated “fairly”

I guess the guy named KP in the Boston Herald Comments section doesn’t realize that the NY Times, who reported the story, is a minority owner of the Red Sox. Sorta throws a wrench in his NY conspiracy story
