This really doesn't come as any surprise to anyone who has been following baseball for the last 15 years. Sosa has long been suspected of being a steroid user. Now the proof is apparently there.
Sosa, who is now 6th on the all time home run list, recently told ESPN Deportes that he would "calmly wait" for his induction into Baseball's Hall of Fame. He will be eligible in 2013, however this news will seriously damage his chances if not kill them altogether.
Sosa joins a list of players who have tested positive, Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez, Rafael Palmeiro, Roger Clemens, and Andy Pettite among them.
The positive test could also cause legal trouble for Sosa, who testified under oath before Congress in 2005 that he had never used illegal performance enhancing drugs.
