Baseball slugger, Rafael Palmeiro, who is accused of using steroids, recently said that he had never used performance enhancing drugs in his astonishing career.
The former player hopes this statement will be able to change voters' minds Hall Fame and honor him for his 3020 hits and 569 homeruns.
From Boston.com:
Rafael Palmeiro is sticking to his story that a tainted vitamin shot caused his failed drug test five years ago, and hopes Hall of Fame voters will overlook the mistake and honor him for his 3,020 hits and 569 homers. A week before the Baseball Writers Association of America announces its inductees, Palmeiro told SI.com he never used performance-enhancing drugs in his 20-year career. Palmeiro again insisted the anabolic steroid was in a B-12 vial given to him by Orioles teammate Miguel Tejada. One of only four players in big league history with 500 homers and 3,000 hits, Palmeiro’s once certain election to the Hall is in jeopardy. Baseball voters have denied Mark McGwire, 10th on the career list with 583 homers, four times and his election seems unlikely.
The slugger told Sports Illustrated that he never made use of performance enhancing drugs.
