More on: steroids, MLB, John Rocker (all tags)

A report came out that John Rocker was among the names on the client list for the pharmacy in Orlando that was busted last week for distributing steroids over the internet. That news suprised about no one and the general reaction was "well, that explains a lot". But we find he defense pretty amusing.

That was a growth hormone that was prescribed by a doctor in relation to his rotator cuff surgery in 2003, so I don't really think there is anything to the story," Debi Curzio, Rocker's publicist, told the Daily News for a story on the newspaper's Web site Tuesday night.

First off, how much does it suck to be John Rocker's publicist. Second, the excuse that he took it for medicinal purposes is laughable. A lot of people we know with shoulder surgery didn't take HGH afterward. Finally, if you're John Rocker, why even bother trying to repair or spin your image. You are in the Bigoted Athlete Hall of Fame. Nothing you do is gonna make anyone think less of you. Just go the Romo route and milk the roid rage persona for all it's worth.
