    There is also no evidence yet that Lance Armtstrong did anything illegal, but I don't think there are too many people who follow cylcing who don't think he was on something, considering ALL his competion was caught out. Could be his stuff was undetectable.

    I realize everyone is just playing devil's advocate..

    Life on the line though, is Griffey clean or dirty, I'm saying he was clean. I think most of you are too.

    I agree, I just would never report it as fact.

    I'll never forget when he tried to attack Bob Kravitz at the all-star game. It was one of the only times in my career that I thought a player was going to physically attack someone with hundreds of witnesses.

    Great player, but good riddance.

    Only Neyer, a know nothing stathead, says definitively that Griffey did not use steroids.

    The other three clearly do not make definitive statements

    I don't think Griffey ever used steroids, but we heard for years how A-Rod was one of the clean ones as well.

    Well, Neyer didn't actually say that. He said people would say that, which they have.

    He did not write "people will say." He wrote "it will be said..." To me, he is saying it.
    If not, than none of the four said definitively that he did not use steroids and sportsdish is 100% wrong.

    I don't know who the last home run hitting player who anyone can say was "clean"

    It might be Griffey. It might be Frank Thomas. It might be Pujols. It might be none of the above.

    Answer the question...

    Your life is on the line....Griffey do them or not do them?

    What's your answer?

    That makes everything I've said completely relevant and the PERCEPTION of Griffey as our clean player in an era of dirty ones is accurate.

    From 1996-2000, Griffey averaged 50 home runs and 137 RBI’s per season. No one in the history of baseball had a better 5 year stretch. No one.

    PEDs

    I'd bet my life on it.
