Sosa, un mentiroso al que también le mintieron

sammy sosaSe confirmó lo que todos sabíamos. Sammy Sosa es otro mentiroso más. Resulta que Sosa dio positivo en una prueba antidopaje en el 2003, de acuerdo a un reporte del New York Times. Y esto tendrá consecuencia, porque se pudiera probar que el dominicano le mintió al Congreso bajo juramento. Aunque esa es otra historia y no nos dedicaremos a eso en este blog.

Lo de Sosa no es de extrañar. Era un secreto a voces y continúa erosionando aún más a esta generación de peloteros que incluye a Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Roger Clemens y un poco más acá a Barry Bonds, Manny Ramírez y Alex Rodríguez.

Ahora bien, Sosa mintió. Pero a él también le mintieron. Así como también a A-Rod. Ellos salieron positivo en esta prueba que se supone iba a ser confidencial y en la que aparecieron 104 nombres. Faltan 102 nombres y creo que lo más recomendable es que de una vez se den a conocer todos y acabar con todos estos escándalos.

De lo contrario los medios de comunicación seguirán hurgando y hurgando y poco a poco van a descubrir más nombres y vendrán más golpes.

Hace falta que los jugadores den un paso adelante, dejen de hacerle caso a la muy dañina Asociación y de una vez se descubra el velo de oscuridad sobre esta "lista maldita" que amenaza con seguir estremeciendo los cimientos de las Grandes Ligas. Además seria una medida estratégica que reduciría el impacto mediático.

El impacto de un nombre cada mes es muy grande. Y más cuando surgen figuras como Sosa, el sexto mayor jonronero de la historia, qiuen a menos que cambien mucho las cosas, se puede despedir del Salón de la Fama.

Las mentiras poco a poco se descubren. Y Sosa hoy en día aparece en la cima de la lista de los mentirosos. Lástima por los dominicanos.

¿Deben dar a conocer la lista de los 104 jugadores? ¿Crees que van a someter a la justicia a Sosa por mentirle al Congreso? ¿Qué opinión tienes de Sosa?
