Canseco: MLB ‘has a Hall of Famer who's used’
http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/32225617/ns/sports-baseball/

Jose Canseco said he is not surprised by the report that David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez are on the 2003 list of performance-enhancing drug users, but added that he knows of one Hall of Famer who has used drugs but as of yet is unidentified, ESPN said Thursday.

"When you tell me something I didn't already know, I'll be surprised,'' Canseco told ESPN.

3. When did he retire...gotta be someone new...
...and Ricky is a good guess because Jose happened to mention it soon after his induction.

4. Doubt it
Rickey and roids given the game he played wouldn't have mixed.

Rickey was about staying lean.

I met him in person. I worked in an apartment complex that he lived in during his time with the sox.

He's no roider. He was just extremely good at reading the game.

8. It was Rickey.
Look at the cyclists, inthebrain. Has nothing to do with staying lean. Juicer.

20. Steroids Make You Fast
That is why sprinters keep getting caught. Remember Ben Johnson or Tim Montgomery?

22. I think the only 3 possibilities are Cal, Tony Gwynn and Ricky Henderson...
...the only recent inductees who played to at least 2001...the others are older players, managers, etc. Canseco has been right so far...I think Ricky.

14. McCovey was at the game tonight
in the broadcast booth visiting with Kuiper and Krukow when the Panda hit a bomb into McCovey Cove.

How appropriate was that?

16. No shit, Sherlock.
Considering what is considered a PED...fucking DUH, dumbass.

One thing I've really come to notice about this forum? As much as folks love to point fingers and talk about steroids, most folks don't know shit about them.

Funny thing that.

25. I suppose we should go over to the Health Scare Forum to get the most
comprehensive information on Roids from Big Pharma Shills and the CT's.

23. Maybe he got the fat from steroids...
...I think you do have to at least work out a little when you take them...not just sit around.
