Pudge is in the top 10 of likely steroid users. Top 5, maybe.

Anyone who thinks Pujols isn't/hasn't juicing/juiced has their head in the sand. Or is a Cardinals fan.

I've got a feeling that list is going to turn out to be pretty accurate.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
No, that list isn't gonna even be close. Unless <i>only</i> All Stars, MVPs and Cy Young winners took steroids in 2003. Just going by the names we know of officially, there needs to be a lot more Jim Parques and Manny Alexanders on there than that "list" included.

You mean you're saying that a player just doesn't magically get drafted in the middle rounds, out of a no name JC in the Midwest, play one year of MiLB ball, then rattle off 9 straight years of 30 HR 100 RBI for a team coached by Tony LaRussa?

Well, how is he hiding it, when nobody else seems to be able to hide it these days?
And if he had done it years earlier, but now is off the juice, why is he now having his best season?
Considering his Garvey/Ripken-esque image as the pleasant/good-guy/deeply Christian family man, he'd have a LOT more to lose than other guys. (was anyone surprised when Ortiz was fingered? Many people just laughed off Manny's test results. With Pujols, it'd be a much bigger deal if he was caught).
Canseco had been calling out A-Rod for years before the debacle went down. Has anyone with any credibility called out Pujols?
I hate defending the fuckhead, but he <i>could</i> just be a phenomenal player, like Hank Aaron or something.

HGH isn't like steroids. The effects are negligble compared to juicing, and some people have questioned if it helps in <i>any</i> way.

How hasn't he got caught? There's oodles of things out there for you to take that aren't detected in piss tests. There could be 100's of people on HGH in the MLB right now and we wouldn't know unless MLB started giving blood tests or they got caught with it in their possession. Just don't take stuff on the list that they test for and you'll be A-OK.

Folks, I hope you're right. Nothing would please me more that a big, juicy 50-game Pujols suspension in the middle of the pennant race. I'd be doing cartwheels.
