Albert Pujols...Roids or not?

[Jeter+Arod Fan]

Clearly the best player in the game today. Will he be considered the best someday or will he be another cheater who is frowned upon. What do you think?

Well considering he's never been accused for steroids, i'll say clean..Theres no reason to believe he has, his stats have always stayed fairly consistent

[Tmurdock]

I agree. No one has yet to even question his name, so I have to say clean (I Hope)...

well he has been accused but nothing has come out of it and it died quickly. There was the connection of him and Chris Mihlfeld, his trainer, who is linked to steroids but there was nothing that had connected Pujols to his trainers actions

Not being biased here...but I say clean. As has been said, his stats have always been consistently close (almost so that you can set your watch by them). If he were on Steroids it'd be obvious. His physical appearance has never radically changed and his stats have never radically inflated. If he'd been using them all along - they'd have caught it by now. Clean all the way.

I think he's just .. the one. You know how every generation or few seasons theres that one player who totally dominates? Well he's that one player that has been clean and dominates. The 90s clean dominator was Griffey, and the 2000s was Pujols

This is where the story was not reported correctly and many people like yourself never followed up and got the real truth. Chris Mihlfeld was NEVER linked to steroids except for a FALSE report that was later corrected by the media. The media apologized, but just the mention of steroids already done the damage to Mihlfeld's name. The trainer named in the Mitchell Report was not Mihlfeld as some prematurely/falsely assumed. So who was that trainer in question? His name was Brian McNamee. Yes, the same guy that was Roger Clemens' trainer. Mihlfeld was an innocent party who had his name damaged due to poor media reporting/assumption.

And yes, I believe Albert Pujols is clean. He is that once in a generation player like a Stan Musial, Ted Williams, ect.. Albert is something special on and off of the field. A really good human being that I often wish I could be more like.

Check out his site to see what he does off of the field:

Here is an interesting Pujols article by respected baseball historian Bill James and
Joe Posnanski:

Personally I dont care at all about steroids. if pitchers were on it pitching to hitters on it hitting to fielders on it, it all pretty fair. Im not saying its right but thats the way i feel. anyway as far as pujols, unfortunatly, today it seems like youre guilty until proven innocent. id like to think hes clean but who knows, especially since it seems like the majority of the guys who get caught are the dominican and latin players.
