Vindication

Many people, especially media types, have been saying that "nobody" suspects Alex Rodriguez of steroid use. I've disagreed, and even referred to him as "Steroids, Jr." on this blog. Well, whaddya know, it turns out that he's previously tested positive for steroids.

The media previously threw Raphael Palmeiro under the bus when, after his positive test, he said something about the "B-12" shots he got from Miguel Tejada. "Tejada is a clean player," the media declared. "How dare Palmeiro try to tarnish the image of this great athlete." Well, the Mitchell Report came out, and it turned out that Miguel Tejada had been using steroids under the guise of B-12 shots. The media was shocked. Shocked! How could a clean player like Miguel Tejada be caught up in this mess?

The media has once again demonstrated its biases and, well, general incompetence.
