Uggla w/o a doubt. If Tiger was on roids why does he stay injured? Same with Griffey Jr.

I'll say it. Albert Pujols. Basically came out of no where as a rookie (not a big time prospect).

Also, humans naturally produce less HGH as get they older, so I believe any player in any sport that improved or started playing better after turning 30/31 was probably on HGH. NFL QBs may be the exception bc speed and strength are not as important.

Remember its not all about gaining strength. HGH has rejuvenation effects. It allows you to heal faster from injuries, and it prevents your muscles from breaking down.

I think Tiger was and the trail is there with the Canadian doctor. Just hasn't been completely tracked down yet and probably never will be. If it could be, it would've been already. He isn't untouchable anymore and there are plenty of people that would love to prove he was on something.

Don't think Puljos has juiced. He's never had a blip in his career. His numbers have always been consistently great. He's also getting worse as he gets older as a clean player should. Maybe he did in the minors but if he stopped when he hit the majors, his numbers would reflect it and he wouldn't be the Albert we know now. Juicing for a couple of years doesn't last you a career. You have to keep doing it or the changes will be seen. Puljos has either been juicing the whole time or never. He would've been caught by now if he were juicing the whole time.

I think Randy Johnson juiced or used HGH later in his career. He stayed way too healthy for too long considering his unusual size. People with abnormal height break down earlier and more often than normal sized people and he never did. Don't think he did it for pure performance but more for longevity.

I am a Mariners fan and he never made the All-Star team there when he was in his prime. Suddenly he explodes with the Phillies and continues to do well in New York. Your best years are from 25-32 not 36. That's just how the body works.

I really don't think he doped. Just a small group of jealous athletes. He has been an athletic freak his entire life.

Lance Armstrong was not accused of juicing. He was accused of blood doping.
