Comment on Does J.C. Romero getting caught using steroids leave a taint on the Phillies World Series title? by Joe H

It's definitely not tainted. Read the linked article. It explains how the league deceived JC and the players associations hardly supported him. The MLB recanted on previous statements and declared the supplement he took banned 3 months after JC took it. The MLB is claiming negligence on JC's part but I dont see how he was negligent. His trainer checked it out and the MLB made a statement saying they thought it should be okay. IMO the MLB is in the wrong in this situation and JC should not be suspended. And FYI, im a yankees fan not just a biased Phils fan.

Nah and from what i understand it was just a supplement that the players association told him he could take and if he knew it was illegal he wouldn't have taken. Yes he was a big part of the phillies bullpen but they still would have won the world series without him. I don't really think its his fault.

His balls shrunk for this, and barry bonds stole the single season home run record from another steroids user….
this is 4/100s of a team that were talking about, and all steroids does is make you stronger, not pitch better

Not really…if it had been Utley, Howard or Lidge, maybe..

What I think IS "tainted" is the League's already flawed testing policy. Word has come out thet JC tested positive during the season but the process of review and appeals takes so long, he was basically able to put off suspension until after the Series.

The sytstem is supposed to be punishment AND deterrent…I think it failed the "deterrent" part in this case…

Revoke the entire 2008 season, strike it from the books, make the players AND owners give back ALL the money to the fans (don't give any back to Fox, though), and incidentally hand the championship back to the 2007 winner, Boston (happy side effect there).

No rings. Melt the trophy. Philly can go back to bemoaning their curse of the tall building.

There. That'll set things to rights. Naughty Romero!

All I know is that they were the best team, with or without Romero.
