Yes he likely did, and he also knew it wasn't illegal or get him suspended at the time. He also knew that many other players were doing the same thing for a "competitive edge". He owned up to it and you have to give him credit for that.

Absolutely. :-)

Enjoy it while you can Sox fans. There are 103 other names still to be revealed on that list.

As long as Griffey ain't one of them, then it's not the end of the world for me.
[Reply]

I think Griffey is clean, at least I hope to God he is. If not baseball is really going to have a problem on their hands.

At this point I think every player in the last 10-15 years has done PEDs at least once in their career.
[Reply]

I agree to a point. If I had to guess, 50-60%

The one name that scares me coming out is Jeter.
[Reply]

You can't tell by looks alone, but Jeter doesn't have the "look" of a steroid user. But then again, neither do many of the smaller size wrestlers in the WWE who have tested positive through the years.
[Reply]

You also have to look at the players that have tested positive the last year have mostly been skinny middle relievers that do not have that roid look. It also takes years of use to get the Bonds look.

He is a pretty big dude, he was 2 feet in front of me at Fenway in 04. Most of the designer PEDs guys are taking now don't give you the Conseco, McGuire look. The stuff A-Rod took did not give him that roided look but he still looked absolutely huge. I have a pic I took of him and Jeter walking side by side in 2004 and A-Rod is way bigger than Jeter

Texeira played on that Rangers team as well........

The worst part of this is that sumbag Canseco has been proven right yet again.

Here are a few pics of A-Rod and Jeter on July 24, 2004

Pudge Rodriguez was also on the team with A-Rod for 2 years. He never seemed to get big but he stayed heathier than many other catchers. All this witch hunting could have been avoided if the Commissioner's Office had kept their word and destroyed the records after getting the statistical data. And once again for you Yankee fans, I do expect that several Red Sox players will be on the list if it is ever released including Nomar.
[Reply]

I agree that A-Rod does not have that bulky roid look especially in these pictures.
[Reply]

OK, How about Big Papi? How about Manny? Let's throw Varitek in there too.
[Reply]

I have always thought Manny was a roider especially with all his personality issues. Big Papi I think is just a big dude.
[Reply]

Varitek is a freakin monster as well, saw him up close a few times this past season. Its possible hes on something. I agree about Ortiz I think hes just a natural big dude.
