69. I think this is very interesting news.
I never watch ESPN, so wouldn't have known about this. Look at these very Bush-like excerpts from the article:

...Palmeiro, is one of several professional athletes who testified under oath before a US congressional committee that he had never taken steroids.

But the Cuba-born first baseman is the seventh player and first star to receive a steroid ban under a new policy agreed upon by owners and the players' union earlier this year -- one that was harshly criticized by the US Congress as being too lax.

In a statement released Monday after the suspension was announced, Palmeiro changed his claim to say he never "intentionally" has taken steroids...

Seems there was enough evidence to suspend him, yet Bush sides with Palmeiro, not the investigators.

I hope a lot of people watch ESPN.
