I was searching the web and found this. You can take it as you like. A real nest was built in the Dominican Republic on a list submitted by the Rotoinfo.com portal, which contains the names of the players who allegedly tested positive in tests made by the Major Leagues in 2003, to detect the use of steroids in baseball.

From that list of 103 were positive only revealed the names of two: Alex Rodriguez and Sammy Sosa, but now is offered complete with the alleged positive. Phones in the sports writing DominicanosHoy.com have received hundreds of calls from readers interested in knowing the list.

Rotoinfo.com is published in English, that posting the list makes clear that it is unofficial.
The publication has impacted Dominicans, as there are 22 of his compatriots, some of them true heroes of the fans.

The names that have impacted the new mentioned are those of David Ortiz and Pedro Martínez, especially because they have attacked the use of steroids in baseball.

. Ortiz said that those who consume steroids should be punished for life, while just days ago that Peter launched a challenge to publish the=2 0list "but my name is there, and although this will not be sure."

Quite a few names on that list that have impressive stats when they were healthy enought to play, like Giambi, Sheffield, ... but also seemed to frequent the DL.

Quite a few older, post 40 players that seemingly got a "new lease on life" extending their careers with impressive stats.

Just body type doesnt fit the usual steroid abuser (Giambi, Sosa, Bonds). Not so much Green as Garciaparra is a bit surprising to me.

Garciaparra was well-known to be a steroid user in Boston. That one is not surprising at all. His body breaking down is very indicative of steroid users. A lot of those Red Sox players were rumored to be on the jiuce, and there was a recent story that had one Sox player saying they had player meetings on how to properly administer steroid use. Green is surprising, but then not so much considering the HUGE spike and then subsequent drop-off in performance.

Bottom line...those 103 players were just the tip of the iceberg fellas...

IT would not surprise me to see "ANYONE" on the list. Including some great NBA legends.

Nomar did have a couple of big HR years for a 190 pounder.

I've always been amazed at Alfonso Soriano's power at 180 pounds.

I guess that explains why Nomar just fell off so quickly. Damn i dont consider Soriano a user either. If Chipper or Griffey end up on a list, i wont believe in nothin no more.

because of this 'steriod era' players like Soriano, and Griffey are suspect. not saying its fair, not saying that they were on it. but because of all this crap that has gone on, it looks fishy. which really sucks if your a player that never used.
