We have all seen this same scenario of finger pointing and heartfelt denials since this issue has come to the forefront so it can be hard to know which side to believe anymore. While there have been a few hints here and there from “unofficial” sources about Green and Pujols neither has ever been linked to any formal investigation by MLB. I have never heard even a rumor about Verlander. Who knows if this is a case of a wanna-be shock jock with an ax to grind or bandwagon jumping on the heels of the PED hysteria or just a guy that sincerely wants to “out” guys that he truly believes are cheating. I do think without any kind of basic evidence or true knowledge it is unfair to just throw out names, especially right now. MLB has clearly shown they will go after players even though their “best drug policy” in sports has shown blatant incompetence because their testing labs can’t keep up with the “masking” clinics.
