Sammy Sosa:Former Chicago Cub’s star is back on the news today. Sammy Sosa, whose skin color had been changing to a much lighter shade from a cream he was using, has apparently changed back to a tone much similar to his past appearance. His spokesperson states that Sosa uses a cream that has a bleaching agent in to help even out his skin tone. This topic is what caused quite a stir back in November when he appeared in public with a notably whiter complexion.
Sammy Sosa was born in the Dominican Republic, and continues to live there today. He was an MLB star hitting 609 homeruns in his career. He retired in 2009, and controversy has followed him since he left the major leagues. In 2009 it was reported by the New York Times that Sosa had failed a drug test back in 2004 for performance enhancement.
The latest controversy with Sammy Sosa is over his skin color change. The cream he has been using to even out the skin tone has a bleaching component to it. The lightening of the skin affects each user of the cream differently and with Sosa he had a more noticeable change. His spokesperson also states that the lighting used in the November 2009 photograph made the skin appear even whiter. Sosa apparently is in negotiations to promote and market the skin cream.
