Just when you thought that pig Palmeiro couldn't sink any lower. He supposedly is blaiming a teammate for giving him steroids. Anyone in their right mind knows there's not too many bulky Orioles who could be suspected of using steroids.

Palmeiro reportedly blamed teammate
Orioles first baseman told panels he was given substance

An ongoing investigation into whether Rafael Palmeiro perjured himself in an early March appearance in front of the House Government Reform Committee has focused on whether a teammate provided the substance that led to his positive steroid test and subsequent suspension, according to a report in the Baltimore Sun.
The newspaper, citing "people familiar with the investigation," reported the claim came from Palmeiro himself during his hearing earlier this season before MLB's arbitration panel, which declined to overturn the suspension the player served Aug. 1-10.

Palmeiro identified the teammate by name, the Sun reported, citing a secondary source which confirmed the development.

In its efforts to determine whether Palmeiro's version has merit, the committee has questioned members of the Orioles, including Palmeiro and head athletic trainer Richie Bancells.

As he began serving his 10-day suspension on Aug. 1, Palmeiro told reporters, "It was an accident. It was not an intentional act on my part."

However, the Sun's sources portrayed Palmeiro's explanations to both the arbitration board and subsequently to the committee as "confusing."
