'High profile' player goofs by trusting media

• Why would a baseball player imagine he could 'particularly trust' a member of the news media? Looks like that was unwise:

NY Times: "The book also tries to link one retired high-profile player to the use of steroids. The book says that

• the player told members of the news media whom he particularly trusted

• that he had used performance-enhancing drugs occasionally.

• However, the book offers no direct evidence that the former player used such drugs.

Pearlman said on Thursday night that he did contact the former player through a representative and that the representative said

• the player denied telling various reporters that he had used drugs."...
