McGwire’s Brother Throws Him Under The Bus…
Although Mark McGwire denies ever using drugs in baseball and could be paying for it by being shut-out of the Hall of Fame, there’s one person who has no trouble throwing him under the bus: his own brother…
The youngest brother of Mark McGwire has written that the former Major League slugger used steroids, according to Deadspin.com.
In a proposal for a book called “The McGwire Family Secret: The Truth about Steroids, a slugger and Ultimate Redemption” that he is shopping around to publishers, Jay McGwire said his brother began taking steroids in 1994 and that he personally injected Mark with performance-enhancing drugs.
“Mark is a man I think most would like to forgive because his reason wasn’t nefarious — it was for survival,” the proposal says, according to Deadspin. “My bringing the truth to surface about Mark is out of love. I want Mark to live in truth to see the light, to come to repentance so he can live in freedom — which is the only way to live.”
Jay McGwire could not be reached for comment Thursday by the Associated Press, which reported that telephone numbers for his home and fitness center in California were disconnected.
If this true, this does not help McGwire at all. At some point, you have to wonder if it would be better served for the slugger to just say whether or not if he did it. America, for the most part, is a forgiving country, and at some point, people just have to move on from this.
