Troy Percival was teammates with Troy Glaus. Jason Isringhausen worked in the same clubhouse as Kurt Radomski. Carlos Pena was teammates with A-Rod and Ken Caminitti, and later ‘came out of nowhere’ as well.

Unless you have proof, let it go.

Every Dominican trained with this guy.

Can we be done with this crap yet?

Every Dominican is 'roiding........?

Highly doubtful. Although the country does have a pretty high “large baseball player:regular person” ratio

I think part of it is the potential of being Palimero'd

He did say just not too long ago that he things people who tested positive should be suspended for a year; based on when the public finds out whether they tested positive. It’s a really dumb opinion, but it came out of his mouth.

I thought we had a ban or sorts on PED speculation

80 to 90% of them took something

But who cares?

I’d be absolutely shocked if Papi didn’t take something. I also don’t really care. Nearly everyone was taking stuff.

I guess I’m not hung up on comparing statistics across completly different eras. The field was level as nearly every player was taking stuff.

Have you all read this article?

I have lots more, but refrain from touching this subject on this site, so I have not referred to them here.

just a note

while speculation may be taboo here, surely innuendo is allowed, no?

The point is not whether Papi did or did not take steroids. That is clearly irrelevant to our purposes here. As Neyer says, “I link, you decide.” The fact he is being forced to answer these questions is interesting to me and was the sole reason for the post.

Schadenfreude, anyone?
