Congress Investigating Palmeiro Statement of "No Steroid Use" While Under Oath

This is sounding familiar. And the finger-wagging is back.

"I have never used steroids. Period."

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman--Ms. Lewinsky."

Congress is investigating whether baseball slugger Rafael Palmeiro lied under oath when he told a Congressional committee on March 17th that he had never used steroids.

Yet here he is now, suspended for ten games from the Baltimore Orioles after a random drug test (allegedly) revealed the presence of a powerful steroid called Stanozolol.

And now on to the denials. At first he said the test results were invalid, then he said he had no idea how this banned substance got into his body, then he says he made a mistake, now no one knows what he will say next.

Will his fans buy what he's saying?
