Pudge Rodriguez’s interesting response to steroids
Here’s what free agent catcher Pudge Rodriguez said when questioned if his name is part of the 104 players that tested positive for taking steroids in 2003.
“Only God knows,” Rodriguez said softly.
Canseco, a former teammate in Texas, has alleged he injected the steroids into Rodriguez.
Another former teammate, Alex Rodriguez, recently said he used performance-enhancing drugs while with the Rangers.
If I knew there was no way that I could have tested positive for steroids in 2003, I would have responded to that question as, “Hell no.” But Pudge decided to go with, “Only God knows.” Hmm…
Hey, at least he didn’t deny it. He just kind of sidestepped the question so that when he’s outed later, he can say, “I didn’t say my name wouldn’t be on that list. I just said God knew.”

He went from being a chubby player to a ripped specimen. Does anyone doubt this guy was juiced?
Pudge has been prob my fav player since growing up watching him play the catcher positon better thn anyone Ive ever seen. I used to play the position and admire him greatly, however God, Ivan and anyone who watched his career knows that he among many many many others were huge components in the now infamous “Steroid Era”..still a no doubt HOF,,no question..
I am a former semi-pro baseball player and watched steroids go around the locker room many times. All I have to say is that people should just leave the members of the “Steroid Era” alone. They still possess the skills to play at this level!
Presidential candidates admit to drug use and still get to be president…why so much fuss about guys playing a game? The still have to connect to hit those homeruns.
The problem with steroid use is this. Steroids have been proven as a huge health risk that if it doesn’t get you now it will haunt you later with heart problems etc. So knowing how devastating steroids are to your health, it is unfair to make them legal. Because then how do the people who chose to not do steroids compete? They can’t. And before you know it to go pro you’ll have to do steroids or just not make it. Making a strict no steroid rule in pro sports will decrease the appeal of steroid use to high school sports players.
