J.C. Romero doesn’t like fans bringing up his steroid use:
“What did he say? That he was drunk and got into a fight?” Romero, 33, said yesterday when asked whether he wanted to hear the fan’s complaint. “I’m not going to comment on it. I’m trying to be professional, and I don’t really want to get into that. Don’t want to make a story out of nothing.”
The fan, 25-year-old Robert Eaton, told the St. Petersburg Times that he asked Romero for an autograph outside Tropicana Field and was refused. Eaton said that he then made a comment about steroids and that Romero grabbed him by the neck and pushed him, Eaton told the Times. Eaton filed a report with local police. He could not be reached last night for comment. It was not immediately known whether charges would be filed.
Neither the Phillies nor the Rays are commenting, as they say it’s a police matter.

He used steroids? Really? Prove it.
