Pro sports has become so competative and the seasons so grueling that I'm sure many of the guys felt they had to take something just to survive. I don't care about something that happened 6 years ago that wasn't even against the rules at the time. That's like saying that Bob Gibson wasn't a good pitcher because he pitched on a higher pitching mound, and he owes all his success to that.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548707517391398364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780276584364604867.post-33923214149645698582009-02-07T23:18:00.000-05:002009-02-07T23:18:00.000-05:00You say clean like it has any meaning.

All this ...I think you are missing the point Pete. <BR/><BR/>All this proves, and more names are coming, is that the steroid era was, indeed, the steroid era. People can scapegoat Bonds and Clemens all they want, but the truth is that between 1986 and 2005 hundreds, probably thousands of Major League baseball players were on steroids and other performance enhancing drugs. Every team had a Randomski, a McNamee, a doctor who was lose with the prescriptions, a manager who looked the other way.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742159228200876688noreply@blogger.com
