Sammy Sosa's skin appears to have lightened considerably. Photographs taken at an event in Las Vegas reveal a surprisingly light pigmentation on the former slugger. While no cause has been established at this time, the web site Midwest Sports Fans speculates that steroid use could be responsible:
There appears to be at least some evidence suggesting that steroid use could be one of the lifestyle choices that increases a person's likelihood of becoming symptomatic with vitiligo.

It was reported in June that Sosa, who captured the nation's attention as a prolific home run hitter in the 1990s and earlier this decade, tested positive for steroids in 2003.

Maybe he has Michael Jackson-itis? I hope he does not start touching kids......

I saw that pic, but full body a couple days ago. Based on what he was wearing I think that was a Halloween costume.

Is the inference that being light skinned is bad? I certainly hope not. That would be racist.
