“I wish I could pinpoint exactly what happened,” Palmeiro told the newspaper in his first public comments since last season ended. “I would think it was the B-12. I’m not certain of that; I can’t prove it.”
Palmeiro, one of four players in baseball history with 3,000 hits and 500 homers, told Congress at a March 17 hearing examining performance-enhancing drug use in professional sports, “Let me start by telling you this: I have never used steroids. Period. I do not know how to say it any more clearly than that. Never.”
About six weeks later, he tested positive for stanozolol, a steroid.
Palmeiro struggled when he returned to the Orioles, getting just two hits in 26 at-bats before the team sent him home for the season. He’s considering returning - with another team - for his 20th major league season so he can improve on his Hall of Fame-caliber numbers and repair his tarnished image.
