Shooting the Breeze
November 24, 2005
According to leaked grand jury testimony, former American League MVP Jason Giambi admitted to using steroids, a charge he formerly denied publicly every time the media brought it up.
A story in ESPN The Magazine suggested Giambi had been juicing for years and sought out dealers to make him bigger and better illegally.
He was quoted as saying he quit the drugs during the 2003 All-Star break, and his career — which included mysterious illnesses in 2004 — seemed to have bottomed out earlier this season when the Yankees tried to send a noticeably smaller Giambi to the minors.
After turning his season around, Giambi was recently named AL Comeback Player of the Year.
Congrats, Jason, for establishing that repeatedly cheating and lying is OK as long as you hit home runs, pass drug tests and woo media members who should be ashamed of voting for you.
