Performance-enhancing drugs were very, very good for Sammy Sosa.

Sosa tested positive for a PED in 2003 according to a story published by the New York Times.

The ex-Chicago Cubs star is the latest high profile player to be linked to performance-enhancing drugs.

And like others who have been caught, Sosa denied that he used illegal substances.

During a Congressional Hearing in 2005, Sosa said the following to the House Government Reform Committee:

“To be clear, I have never taken illegal performance-enhancing drugs. I have never injected myself or had anyone inject me with anything. I have not broken the laws of the United States or the laws of the Dominican Republic. I have been tested as recently as 2004, and I am clean.”

Sosa has been out of baseball since 2007 and earlier this year announced he was going to retire from baseball and wait for his call to Cooperstown.

I hope you gave them your cell, Sammy, because you’re going to be waiting for a long time for that phone call.
