One of my best friends played ball with him at Maple Woods. Hasn't told me anything specific about Pujols, but said the program is notorious for its use of roids, and I've heard the same from others in the region.

I am so sick of people throwing the roids thing out there. So far he has not been caught using anything, until he does, he should not be thrown in with the others.

Well most people don't actually get caught - someone has to narc them out.

And if you read my post, I said he didn't say anything specific about Pujols, but the program he came from is well-known is baseball circles for being a program that does not shy away from anabolic supplements.

Still IMO shouldn't be stapled to him, I wasn't necessarily meaning you, it is said all the time. An athlete in this day and age can't be clean and tear it up on the field is the conception of far to many.

Strange, I knew several people that played ball there at the same time, and I KNOW that none of them juiced. Hell, there was a kid there, Jeremy Ryan was his name I believe, who was drafted the year before Albert and was as skinny as a beanpole. Also knowing the AD at the time, it would really surprise me to know that this went on.
