Let's take a look at the top 10 stars of the MLB steroid era.
00:03
Starting off at number 10, we have Jason Giambi.
00:06
Giambi apologized on May 16, 2007, for using steroids and urged others in the sport to do
00:12
the same.
00:12
I was wrong for using that stuff, he told USA Today.
00:15
Next up at number 9 is Gary Sheffield.
00:17
Sheffield purchased vitamins from Balco, he says, but never anything he knew was steroids.
00:22
At number 8, we have Manny Ramirez.
00:24
According to an ESPN report, the drug used by Ramirez was human chorionic gonadotropin
00:29
, a women's fertility drug typically used by steroid users to restart their
00:33
body's natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle.
00:37
Seven is Jose Canseco.
00:39
Canseco admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs during his major league playing career,
00:43
and in 2005 wrote a tell-all book, Wild Times, Rampant Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball
00:49
Got Big, in which he said that the vast majority of MLB players use steroids.
00:53
At number 6 is Rafael Palmeiro.
00:56
On August 1, 2005, Palmeiro was suspended for 10 days after testing positive for a steroid.
01:01
The Washington Post reported that the steroid detected in Palmeiro's system was a serious one.
01:07
Taking the number 5 spot is Roger Clemens.
01:09
Clemens was alleged by the Mitchell Report to have used anabolic steroids during his late career,
01:14
mainly based on testimony given by his former trainer, Brian McNamee.
01:17
Coming in at number 4 is Alex Rodriguez.
01:20
Alex Rodriguez said his admitted use of steroids during his 22-year career cost him
01:25
millions of dollars and a potential spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
01:28
Number 3 is Sammy Sosa.
01:30
Sammy Sosa apologized for steroid mistakes.
01:33
Sammy Sosa issued a statement apologizing for his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs,
01:38
more than a quarter century after smashing Major League Baseball's home-run record.
01:41
At number 2 we have Mark McGuire.
01:43
He admitted using steroids on occasion throughout the 1990s, including during the 1998 season.
01:49
McGuire said that he used steroids to recover from injuries.
01:52
And taking the number 1 spot is Barry Bonds.
