Who is preparing to be the next one named on the 2003 PED list?

After Big Poppi and Manny Ramirez were named on the 2003 positive test list for performance enhancing drugs there have been other players around the league that have been outspoken out about it.

Bronson Arroyo admitted to using Andro made popular by Mark McGuire. He said it made him feel great, but that wasn't an illegal substance in 2003. Major League Baseball implied that Andro wasn't apart of the positive tests. Yet Bronson Arroyo stated that he wouldn't be surprised if he was on the 2003 list.

Nomar Garciaparra came out and stated that there were several players that refused to take the test in 2003 knowing that if the number of positive tests rose above 5% around the league that a stricter policy would be put in place. Virtually saying that those players that refused were recorded as a positive test. Again, Major League Baseball implied that the 2003 consisted of only positive urine test, which would not include those players that refused the testing. Was Nomar implying he was one that refused?

Here's the thing...no one really knows much about this list and they shouldn't because the contents of the list is supposed to be protected under court order. There are a few things that we do know without violating this order. First, every player that tested positive and is on the 2003 list was supposedly told by the MLB or the Player's Association. So when Bronson Arroyo says he wouldn't be surprised if he showed up on the list almost proves he is actually on the list. This is speculation, of course, but it seems he is preparing the world for the news. Nomar may or may not be on the list as well. Again, only speculating, but it seems like a similar tactic. Listen, I hate any of this ever came to the surface. I think the Mitchell Report only hurt the game. They should've done the anonymous test without any names on the urine samples to get the 5% needed to implement a stricter policy. This way none of the names would have leaked and baseball wouldn't have had to deal with this drama

...then again who would have stopped Jose Canseco from writing a book? Probably no one.
