Gregg Zahn admits to nothing, doesn't remember anything about steroids

Perhaps Toronto's Gregg Zaun should tutor Roger Clemens.  Zahn's public statements admit to nothing, yet do not intimidate as much as Clemens's diatribes.  From the Toronto Star:

Following 64 days of silence regarding his inclusion in the Mitchell Report on steroid use in baseball, Jays catcher Gregg Zaun finally fought back yesterday...

When asked directly about any use of performance-enhancers, Zaun was careful: "I have never violated MLB's drug policy or failed any drug tests," he emailed.

MLB did delineate a drug policy well before 2002; however that policy was a naive, nonspecific outline of anti-drug use.  Clever players obviously need detailed lists of banned drugs.

Never mind the PEDs violated federal narcotics law; violations of federal law appear to to be the issue here.  What about that canceled Zaun check on the Mitchell report?

Zaun's purported drug history was detailed in the Mitchell Report, released on Dec.13. He only broke his silence when it was suggested by an informant that the $500 cheque used as evidence by Kirk Radomski, a former Mets clubhouse attendant and distributor of performance-enhancers, was in fact payment to Jason Grimsley for a losing basketball bet. He was either asked to leave the payment line blank or didn't bother filling it out in a pique of gambling anger.

The catch is that Zaun is not sure.

"It was a long time ago," he told reporters. "For me to be able to recall things that happened six or seven years ago is asking a lot. You're talking about one cheque among thousands that I've written over the last seven years. And I'm supposed to recall why or when, to whom and where. That was nearly impossible for me to figure out."

The problem is that there is no physical evidence other than the cheque and Zaun seems less than 100 per cent certain that it was to pay Grimsley for a sports wager.

For example, in his email conversation, he said: "It's almost a certainty that I wrote him a cheque for $500 to pay off a bet we made or to loan him money."

He told reporters: "Maybe people come away and think that maybe there's a possibility this could have happened. That's the way I remember it happening."

As the Star reports, something stinks in Toronto:

That reeks with uncertainty.
