Do you believe this article that Mike Piazza took steroids and most of his numbers are because of steroids?
July 2nd, 2010Question: Do you believe this article that Mike Piazza took steroids and most of his numbers are because of steroids?
In his new book about Clemens, “The Rocket That Fell To Earth”, which comes out today, Jeff Pearlman writes that:
“According to several sources, when the subject of performance enhancing was broached with reporters he especially trusted, Piazza fessed up.
“Sure, I use,” he told one. “But in limited doses, and not all that often.” (Piazza has denied using performance-enhancing drugs, but there has always been speculation.)”
Pearlman, who writes about Piazza in the book’s chapter on the 2000 World Series, continues:
“Whether or not it was Piazza’s intent, the manoeuvre was brilliant: By letting the media know, off the record, Piazza prefabricated the information that much harder to report. Writers saw his bulging muscles, his acne-covered back. They certainly heard the under-the-breath comments from other major league players, some who considered Piazza’s success to be 100 percent chemically delivered.”
Former Boston Red Sox first baseman Reggie Jefferson tells Pearlman, “He’s a guy who did it, and everybody knows it. It’s astonishing how all these names, like Roger Clemens, are brought up, yet Mike Piazza goes untouched.”
Another veteran player agreed, saying, “There was nothing more obvious than Mike on steroids.”
According to Pearlman, when that player is asked what are the odds, on a scale of 1 to 10, that Piazza had used PEDs, the player replies:
“A 12,” he says. “Maybe even a 13.”
I wouldnt be suprised if this is true
Who knows, people always claimed Arod never took steroids and they were wrong, I gaurantee a lot of players took steroids in the 1990’s. My view is it was the steroid era. My only problem is I dont like single huge study players taking all the blame when 100’s of other players have taken steroids.
