I know noone's surprised but the
Daily News is reporting that Yankees first baseman
Jason Giambi has failed an amphetamines test within the last year.
This is interesting only because Giambi has ironically been vocal lately regarding steroid use in MLB:
“What we should have done a long time ago was stand up — players,
ownership, everybody — and said:'We made a mistake.' 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.”
Mr. Comeback Player of the Year (eyes rolling) is obviously trying to deal with his demons, but he could atleast lay off the amphetamines while he does so. The Angels have reportedly been interested in Giambi's services if the Yanks decide to let him go.
