I don't think anyone is shocked or surprised that the other shoe...or syringe...finally dropped with Sammy Sosa.  Watching Slammin' Sammy transform from the skinny kid he was when he played for the Sox, into the chiseled body builder he became with Cubs is all the physical evidence a person with eyes should need to know he was popping more than Flintstone vitamins.  The "smoking gun" the New York Times provided just confirms long held suspensions about Sosa's steroid use.  According to the report, he tested positive for a performance enhancing drug in 2003, along with 103 other players, including Alex Rodriguez.  The results of those tests were supposed to be kept confidential by Major League Baseball and the Players Union.  Somebody snitched.  That bothers me as much as Sammy "forgetting" how to speaking English while he was lying in front of Congress.  Why are we picking and choosing which big fish gets reeled in to be filleted and fried by the media and fans?  Is it because somebody had it out for A-Rod and Sammy?  There were a lot of slimy creatures caught up in the League's net when it finally decided to put some shark teeth into its drug testing program.  Let's see all the names of who was doping up and be done with this mess once and for all.  By the way, it's interesting that the story about Sammy failing a drug test SIX years ago surfaced a couple of weeks after he spoke of "camly awaiting his induction into the Hall of Fame" with his 609 career homers.  Just coincidence, right?  Of course, no one from Commissioner Bud Lite all the way down to the team owners, GM's, and Managers had a problem with the superstars juicing up when Sammy and Big Mac were putting butts in the seats when baseball was on life support in the 90's.  I'm not saying we should let Sammy off the hook for cheating, but the waters were tainted by a culture he didn't create and cultivate alone.  Come clean about who was juicing, but say it ain't JUST Sosa.
