NEW YORK (AP) -- Jason Giambi failed an amphetamines test within the last year, the Daily News reported Wednesday.
The newspaper reported that with the failed amphetamines test, Giambi has been subjected to six additional tests for one year. The newspaper did not cite any sources in its report.
Giambi declined comment to the newspaper before the New York Yankees' 7-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.
The Yankees slugger recently said in a USA Today interview that he was "probably tested more than anybody else."
Before the failed test, lawyers for the commissioner's office and the players' association held more conversations Tuesday on a possible meeting with Giambi but it remained uncertain when or if such a gathering would take place.
Lawyers for Major League Baseball would like to talk to Giambi about comments in last Friday's editions of USA Today.
"I was wrong for doing that stuff," the New York Yankees designated hitter was quoted as saying, remarks some have interpreted as an admission of steroids use.
Management lawyers would like to hold the meeting as soon as is practicable. The failed amphetamines test most likely wouldn't be discussed at a meeting since MLB policy is to keep a first positive test secret.
Hall of Famer Frank Robinson took issue with one of Giambi's comments.
"What we should have done a long time ago was stand up -- players, ownership, everybody -- and said: 'We made a mistake,"' Giambi was quoted as saying. "We should have apologized back then and made sure we had a rule in place and gone forward. ... Steroids and all of that was a part of history. But it was a topic that everybody wanted to avoid. Nobody wanted to talk about it."
Robinson said Giambi should speak for himself.
"If Jason wants to confess, then he should come out and say: `I'm guilty. I apologize. I apologize to baseball. I apologize to all the fans that have supported me and supported baseball over the years. And I will clean up my act and promise you I will not do anything like this again,"' Robinson said during an interview on ESPN. "He should not drag others into (it), because when he says baseball, that includes everybody in baseball."
Before the Yankees played Boston on Tuesday night, Giambi was asked about a report in the New York Post that said the Los Angeles Angels had an interest in acquiring him. Giambi has a full no-trade clause.
"This is all news to me. I'm a Yankee," he said. "It's kind of fun to read. I never asked for it." |

| He is supposedly very popular in the clubhouse and the team really likes the guy, but lets face it, we haven't won shit since we got him. Trade him to the Angels if they want him. The Yankees need to stock up on some young talent. We need to rebuild the team so we can be contenders for years to come. Gene Michael built the great Yankee teams of the 90's. The boss was banned and the Stick took over. Lets do it again! |

Don't blame you considering the Yanks owe him over 44 million for the next 2 years. |

| If he was hitting .310 15 40 right now all you Yankee fans wouldn't give a shit. He said he took roids last year so what you needed the prove to want him off your team. The Yankees wouldn't be considering voiding his contract either if he was hitting well. |

| I know MichAEL KAY IS a Yankee homer, but he did make a point today. i thought amphetamines results were suppossed to be kept quiet as part of the steroid testing agreement. You are only suppossed to be tested more often not have it leaked. It is conveniently leaked right after he criticizes baseball. |

Another insightful comment from this turd. :rolleyes:
There's rumor and then there's truth. You can't differentiate between the two which makes you n opinionated douchebag.
(Whose opinion doesn't mean shit to anyone by the way) |
