In an interview published Monday, after over a decade of silence and ambiguity, Rafael Palmeiro emerged from what seemed like hiding and spoke with FoxSports.com's Flinder Boyd on his career and his fall from grace.
It's been 11 years since Palmeiro last played in the major leagues and defiantly denied his use of steroids on Capitol Hill after testing positive for stanozolol.
While he remained adamant that his failed test was due to a "tainted B-12 vitamin vial injected by his wife and given to him by teammate Miguel Tejada," per Boyd, Palmeiro had failed drug tests in 2003 and 2004 before his well-documented one in 2005.
