Has The Steroid List Been Leaked?

The site rotoinfo.com has a post up today titled, 2003 steroid list leaks out? . It mentions nothing about where it came from or how it came about. It simply says "rumored steroid list" and lists the names. I want to stress that this is purely a rumor at this point. I'm not sure I believe it but usually when there's smoke, there's fire. The thing I find most odd about the list is that it seems to be grouped by team. I would think an official list wouldn't quite go that way, but that's just me. The list is pretty impressive. A lot of heavy hitters on it. Here is the list of Yankees and Red Sox on the list:

1.Nomar Garciaparra
2.Manny Ramirez
3.Johnny Damon
4.Trot Nixon
5.David Ortiz
6.Shea Hillenbrand
7.Derek Lowe

Here's everyone else:

9.Brian Roberts
10.Jay Gibbons

That's quite an impressive list. Part of me wants this list to be the real deal. I would love nothing more than to put this whole steroid thing behind us. Let's just get it over and done with. Having all those high-profile Red Sox on the list certainly wouldn't hurt much either. They need a dose of reality because many of the Sox fans I've come across seem to think their clubhouse for the most part was clean. The Yankee fan in me really wants it to be true. But until it's confirmed by a better source, I can't put much, if any, stock into it. I still can't get by the way the names are grouped. It looks like it's alphabetized by division. I think it's a little odd.

Peace, love and Pinstripes,
