"I believe Albert when he says they can test him every day and will find nothing."
That's not the statement we need to hear. The one we need to hear is "I don't use and have never used any performance-enhancing drugs, including HGH, or any masking agents to cover up the presence of such drugs in my system". And then maybe something like "And it's purely coincidental that the guy who hooked Jason Grimsley up with his HGH has been my personal trainer since I was 19 years old".
Great to see some of these guys getting caught. Stiffs like Jay Gibbons and Brian Roberts took jobs away from legitimate players who didn't cheat, guys battling their ass off in AAA while these phonies make big money. Clean it up, Selig.
I agree with everything you have said ... the clean guys need a fair shake ... and it all needs to be cleaned up. I would be the first in line demanding that Pujols be made an example of [above all others]. He has, by the way, flatly denied using any of those drugs/enhancements. I am not going to tar him with the brush of guilt until there is solid evidence for doing so. I am aware of incredible self-discipline and self-training and committment on Albert's part. These are the things that are turning him into a phenomenal athlete.I really love the game of baseball, and I despise what it has become. BUT ... let's not be too quick to condemn any baseball player without good reason for doing so.
