Indian Jim Thorpe was stripped of his gold metals from the Olympics for excepting a very small endorsement. Probably enough money to feed his family for one month. If my memory serves me well it was the German Olympics just before WW1

All of Bond's, Sosa, McGuire and Griffey's numbers should be removed from the record books. Hank Aaron is still the home run King in my book!

And this was surprise to ANYONE?

Good Anonymous 9:19AM, exactly right, they stripped Jim Thorpe, and he was likely the greatest athlete this country has ever produced.

(and the one who overcame the most adversity, of his times, Johnny Weissmuller, winning 5 golds and 1 bronze Olympic medals...he contracted polio at age 9) --now he was an amazing man.
