Admiting something after you have been caught in a test and exposed to the world is not a great show of charachter....especially after denying it for so long....I will save my props for the 5% of guys that didnt juice, if I ever find out who they are....
I'm with TheBeef on this one. As for Vlad: You can't just go by power numbers, and say, well, he only hits 30 a year, he can't be juicing. He might be using them in different amounts as everybody else. As far as A-Rod: Why does he have to come off of them every October?
I think roids can hurt you in the postseason....the bigger numbers you put up, the least likely the chance you actually see a pitch in October....and the bigger the difference between you and the guy behind you will effect it too....also, if you are an accomplished guy, the longer you go through your career without a big playoff performace, the harder it gets, because the more you press, the more likely you are to swing at the garbage they throw you....
