Investigators in baseball's steroids probe have demanded to see the medical records of Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro, who played together in Baltimore during the 2005 season.
Led by former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, the investigation is seeking the files of dozens of other players as well, including Jason Grimsley, David Segui, Jerry Hairston Jr. and Fernando Tatis.
However, the medical records may not be that easy to get. MLB and the players' union reached an agreement earlier this week that each player has the right to decide whether they feel comfortable releasing their medical records.Mitchell expects interviews with active players to begin soon, but does not have the power of subpoena in the face of player resistance.

Oh, boy -- nothing gets good for us.
Between this, the team not performing, Rick Dempsey and other stuff, it makes it hard to be a fan of this team...
I have never knowingly used steroids

yes, and how dare you assume otherwise.
I hear ya, Anthony. But I guess it's easy when you focus on the good things - Miguel Tejada for isntance. He's awesome.
