Around SBN: Gary Carter, Mets All-Time Great Catcher, Has Died

Has Jack Cust spoken yet?

I have yet to see anything posted in any diary on AN or from any media outlet about if Jack Cust has had any comment regarding the allegations of him using steroids while in the Baltimore Orioles minor league system.  Has anyone read anything to this point or is Cust considered by most members of the media to be of little importance that if he does make a comment it won't be until spring training???

With Swisher the only exceptional player the A's have who most likely won't be traded in the next couple of years I had become a big fan of Jack Cust and could comfortably project him in my mind as being a member of the A's for a couple of years down the road.

just that his agent said it was completly false

and that he has never had a locker next to Bigbie before.

I remember reading I think on Rotoworld

that he did try it once in 2003 and admitted that.  Saying he regretted his short couple times use.

Dave Cameron at USS Mariner

made that allegation against Cust when the A's acquired him last year:

Cust’s steroid usage and overall lousiness as a person are well known within baseball.

Dave's a pretty weak human being

to throw around those kind of allegations and refuse to back them up with anything.

So it goes.

Beane on the Cust allegation

Taken from Urban's article on the A's official site:

"We had one current player mentioned in the report, and we will address that internally," Beane said.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing myself

Not that it matters much at this point, but I was kinda curious.
