Mascot steroid scandals rock sports world

Mike Argento writes in the York Daily News:

"The Baltimore Orioles were rocked today — Opening Day of the 2005 baseball season — by allegations of steroid use among one of its most beloved team members — The Bird.

Rumors that The Bird was using steroids have dogged the mascot for years, but it was the recent publication of the Phillie Phanatic's new book, "Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits and How Baseball Mascots Got Big," that propelled the issue into the public eye.

In the book, the Phanatic wrote that he once injected steroids into The Bird's buttocks in a stall in the men's room on the 700 level of Veterans Stadium."

Hi, G I was looking for credit repair tips and I came accross your real good blog this post! A lot of people must feel like saving it! Keep it up! Today I'm looking to see if I find anything better, which I doubt, to stop the robbing bank and credit card companies than credit repair tips. Because how important would it be for you to have a self help program which promises to raise your FICOs in 45 days, double credit limits, get more cards, slash payments or stop collection calls and stop bankruptcy, paying cards off at 73% discounts, or eliminate $25K of them 100% with TILA, and much more. What if you said "bullcrap" to all of that. Well with no credit or poor credit you better be a millionaire, because you're going to need cash, lots of it. Well you're only 15 minutes away from being a millionaire! So see my website right away! Make a note, it's http://tinyurl.com/apxuo Forget the credit repair and the 720 FICO score, too! With money you don't need to be checking anything on credit repair tips because you certainly won't need to find the best credit repair kit. And because you'll be able to afford what attorneys or the so called pros want to do the job, you don't have to see what you can do yourself, like the FTC warns you should. You don't have to check my site/blog and see the help you get for pennies. And you don't have to keep track of me, but you should, because I can show you HOW TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE IN JUST 15 MINUTES IF you have an open mind. Or you could be a THOUSANDAIRE a week with Google Cash at http://tinyurl.com/cz9pp Maybe you ought to check out all three of my sites.
