Do you think Maddox or Pedro or Smoltz or Holliday or K-Rod or Prior or Mussina were/are doping? I don't think pictures were doing the stuff outside maybe a few old power pitchers like Clements.

Do you think speed and hit-for-average guys like Ichiro or Damon or Soriano or Reyes or Sizemore are doping? I don't.

So in baseball, at worst you have 1/3 of your stars, your power hitters, who are doping. In cycling they are all apparently doing it, from GC guys to hill guys to sprinters. They are all getting caught.
Yes, I do think all those guys you mentioned in baseball were likely doing it. You don't think someone like Smoltz took HGH to heal more quickly?n There are many drugs to cheat with and many reaonso to use them.
