Top 10 Pro Athlete Steroid Abusers

Here is our current list of the top 10 professional athletes that have been found or alleged to have used steroids. In most of their cases we will never truly know exactly what they put into their bodies.

1. Barry Bonds – The all-time MLB baseball homerun hero is easily number one on this list. He was so greatly impacted by his alleged steroid use that despite good numbers no team in MLB would sign him for the last two years. His legacy has been very negatively impacted by his steroid use including talk of it being noted IF he ever makes it into the Hall of Fame.
2. Alex Rodriguez – The New York Yankee slugger was always considered to be clean until the Spring of 2009 when reports came out regarding his steroid use while playing for the Texas Rangers. We’ll never probably know if he used in recent years or not, but it seems like his career will also never be the same.
3. Roger Clemens – After the Mitchell report came out many people were not surprised to see Roger Clemens name mentioned as he seemed to defy all the natural laws of aging. He was an amazing pitcher for so many years and it is still unclear whether he used steroids or HGH and/or some other performance enhancing drugs. What is certain though is that it has tarnished his amazing career and potentially his chances of making it into Cooperstown.
4. Manny Ramirez – Manny is just about to come off of his 40 game suspension for use of performance enhancing drugs. We can’t really be sure exactly what Manny used either but we know it was significant enough to merit a suspension. This announcement would have likely shocked people had it not been for so many other big names already wearing the scarlet ‘S’ in recent years.
5. Marion Jones – Marion Jones was one of many international track athletes that got caught up in performance enhancing drugs. Her eventually coming forward really brought her to rock bottom including spending time in jail and having to retun most of her olympic medals.
6. Shawne Merriman – The linebacker for the San Diego Charges that let down so many fantasy football players in recent years after being caught with steroids. It seems to be a huge problem in the NFL, but for some reason only the fantasy football players I seem to choose get in trouble, why is that?
7. Mark McGwire – Mark McGwire testified before congress and essentially wanted to put the past in the past. He didn’t lie nor did he come right out and say that he took steroids. He really didn’t have to. He is surely guilty and despite some great numbers this will keep him from ever getting into the Hall of Fame. He was hit hard by this and essentially has become a recluse.
8. Sammy Sosa – Sammy, Sammy, Sammy I have rooted for you so many times and yet you just couldn’t stay off of the juice could you? Sammy and Mark McGwire essentially go hand-in-hand so of course they had to be listed together in the top 10 list. They both chased each other for the single season record for home runs and it seems they both had quite a bit of help from steroids.
9. Rafael Palmeiro claimed he didn’t do steroids and how terrible it was for the sport only to be test positive for … you guessed it, steroids himself. It was bad enough he took it, but the way he handled the whole situation made it even harder on him and most likely will cost him in his otherwise legitmiate bid for the hall of fame.
10. Jose Canseco the great, okay persistent author telling of all of the use of steroids in baseball. He wouldn’t even make the list based upon his numbers, but one thing is certain he seems to have been right in his books more often than he has been wrong. At least he has the honesty and courage to admit to what he has done.

One of the main things that all of these professional athletes have in common is the fact that steroid use completely ruined their names and their playing careers. With that said most have made a ton of money despite and/or even attributed to their use of steroids. I would like to ask them now, was it worth it?
