Yankees Cheated their way to dominance in Late 90s; NY METS real 2000 Champs!
Published by Haseeb February 15th, 2008 in Sports, Current News
The Yankees lead the list of teams with most cheaters! At least 26 Yankees over the steroid era have taken performance enhancing drugs. Just like Bonds & McGwire’s HR records are tainted and Aaron and Maris are still viewed by many as the real Homerun kings, the yankees’ dominance over the late 90s should also be marked with an asterisk!
Moreover, TEN yankees from the 2000 roster have taken performance enhancing drugs. I mention the year 2000 because thats the year that their opponents in the World Series were none other than the New York Metropolitans.
So there you have it, the NY METS should be the real 2000 World Series Champs, and would’ve if the yankees didnt cheat!!!!

During baseball’s steroid era, 26 who played for the New York Yankees - 14 pitchers and 12 position players - have been implicated in the use of performance-enhancing drugs, more than any other team. Some denied using the drugs, and others were reported to have used drugs before or after they played with the Yankees. Here, from Sen. George Mitchell’s report and other public records, are details. The dates are the years they were Yankees.
Pitchers
Roger Clemens - 1999-2003, 2007. Former Yankees trainer Brian McNamee said he injected Clemens with growth hormone and steroids. Clemens denied using banned drugs and sued McNamee for defamation.
Andy Pettitte - 1995-2003, 2007. McNamee said he injected Pettitte with human growth hormone to heal a shoulder injury. Pettitte acknowledged using the drugs.
Kevin Brown - 2004-2005. From 2001, when he was a Dodger, to 2004, when he was a Yankee, Brown bought human growth hormone and steroids from former Mets batboy and confessed steroid dealer Kirk Radomski, Mitchell wrote.
Mike Stanton - 1997-2002; 2005. While a Yankee, Stanton met Radomski, Mitchell wrote. In 2003, after Stanton had joined the Mets, Radomski delivered growth hormone to him at Shea Stadium.
Denny Neagle - 2000. While a Yankee, Neagle met Radomski in a nightclub and bought growth hormone from him five or six times in four years, Mitchell wrote.
Jason Grimsley - 1999-2000. Grimsley bought $35,000 worth of drugs from Radomski while on the Yankees and three other teams, Mitchell wrote. In the Yankees bullpen in 2000, Grimsley showed steroid pills to McNamee, Mitchell wrote.
Ricky Bones - 1996. In 2000, when he was with the Florida Marlins, syringes and steroids were found in Bones’ locker, Mitchell wrote. Bones said he got the drugs in Puerto Rico to treat a degenerative hip.
Ron Villone - 2006-2007. Villone bought growth hormone from Radomski in 2004 and 2005, while on the Mariners, Mitchell wrote. After he joined the Yankees, Villone called Radomski seeking more drugs, but by then federal agents had targeted the dealer, Mitchell wrote.
Dan Naulty - 1999. While with the Twins, he bought steroids from dealers in gyms, but stopped using the drugs when he joined the Yankees, Mitchell wrote. In a first-person article in the New York Daily News, Naulty implied he continued to use steroids and growth hormone with the Yankees.
Todd Williams - 2001. Radomski said he sold steroids to Williams in 2001.
Carlos Almanzar - 2001. With Texas in 2005, he was suspended 10 days for failing a steroid test.
Felix Heredia - 2003-04. With the Mets in 2005, he was suspended 10 days for failing a steroid test.

Josias Manzanillo - 1995. Radomski said he injected Manzanillo with steroids on the Mets in 1994. Manzanillo said he bought steroids but never used them.

Glenallen Hill - Outfielder, 2000. Mitchell wrote that Hill bought human growth hormone from Radomski in 2000. Radomski said Hill, a former Giant, complained that growth hormone he had obtained in San Francisco was ineffective. Hill told Mitchell he bought steroids from Radomski but never used the drugs.
David Justice - Outfielder, 2000-2001. Mitchell wrote that Justice bought growth hormone from Radomski after the 2000 World Series. Justice denied using the drugs.
Gary Sheffield - Outfielder, 2004-2006. Sheffield told the BALCO grand jury that at Bonds’ instruction, he used BALCO steroids after the 2003 season, when he was about to join the Yankees. He said he didn’t know the substances were steroids until later.
