Believe this is from the anonymous testing they did in the early 2000’s.

[Super]

Didn’t we already sorta know this?

 

[Hulavol]

Yeah- I thought we knew Lopez for sure

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Bret Boone. Always suspected him. Know I’m not the only one

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Went through the list again. Saw Mike Hampton. And Bartolo Colon? Why does that make me laugh?

Also, quite a few members of the Red Sox, Cubs, and Dodgers

Suspected, not confirmed.

 

[Slippyjms]

That's a list I wish I hadn't read

I'd expect roid using in pitchers was higher than hitters, recovery as a pitcher is much more important

 

[Mad Dog Murph]

Jesus Christ the names on that list. WOW

Juan Cruz? Didn't that guy weigh, like, 125 pounds?

Braves legend.

No surprise to see Lopez or Klesko. My shock is that neither Jones is there that I saw. I can't be the only one who suspects Larry was using in 1999.

Why would you? HOF level players having career years at age 27 is not an uncommon thing.

For that 45-HR season back in 1999, I do not close the door on the possibility. Just because he wore a Braves uniform doesn't close that door. There are several former Braves on that list, after all. These guys are human, not myths.

Well he didn’t. So I guess he was just a pretty good damn baseball player. The 45 weren’t that far off what he did normally with mid to high 30 hr seasons. On top of the steroids that was the year the ball was flying out of the stadium. Look at Olsons 54 hr season compared to his other years….i guess you assume he was juiced up too

You could argue that 1999 wasn’t even his best year.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Hall of Famers on that list.

Considering Olson can't do anything but chop the ball to second base now, I'm wondering.

fair point. He’ll get it going. He another notorious slow starter. Except last spring where he tore it up, then started slow in season
