Chicago White Sox player Ozzie Guillen ripped into Sean Penn during this interview. He says Penn is a “loser” who has no right to take the Hugo Chavez tour of Venezuela and then come back to America and say how great it is. Guillen says what Chavez shows Penn is smoke and mirrors. He says Penn should take a trip with him to Venezuela so he can see what it’s really like and how people really feel.

MLB Steriod Report Expected To Name 50+ Players

Chris Jones — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 18:04:10 +0000

Former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell and commissioner Bud Selig will hold separate news conferences Thursday to discuss Mitchell’s 21-month investigation into steroids and Major League Baseball.

Mitchell’s staff delivered their report on the investigation to baseball officials earlier this week. MLB executives are using the 48 hours prior to the report’s public release to review the document to make sure there are no disclosures of confidential information that would violate the collective bargaining agreement with the Players Association.

Several media reports have indicated at least 50 and maybe as many as 80 players will be mentioned by name in the report.

Chris Jones — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 04:42:37 +0000

Baseball superstar Barry Bonds has been indicted on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice after lying to investigators probing a steroid scandal.

The indictment, filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, stems from the investigation into the San Francisco Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative (BALCO) whose top figures have already served jail time on steroid distribution charges.

“During the criminal investigation, evidence was obtained including positive tests for the presence of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing substances for Bonds and other professional athletes,” the indictment said.

If convicted on a perjury charge, Bonds could face up to five years in prison.
