Another county heard from

February 12, 2008

I guess John Rocker’s been out of the spotlight too long. Now he says he failed MLB’s drug test back in 2000 and that several members of the Texas Ranges — including Alex Rodriguez — were “advised by management and unions doctors…on how to effectively use steroids.”

My first thought was does Rocker have a book deal in the works? If not, why wait so long to come forward with such information? Rocker was named in the Mitchell report

In March 2007, Sports Illustrated reported that, according to the Applied Pharmacy Services database, former pitcher John Rocker received two prescriptions for human growth hormone (somatropin) between April and July 2003. Rocker initially denied the allegations, but his spokesperson later reportedly said that Rocker had been prescribed human growth hormone in connection with shoulder surgery.

but he’s kept mum until now. Guess he missed the attention.
