The only two "stars" of my lifetime that would surprise me testing positive for steroids are Griffey Jr. and Greg Maddux. At this point, as far as I am concerned everyone else is fair game.

How much higher would Torii's standing in the league over the course of the last decade be if not for steroids. It was always a pain in our side having a power hitter who was hitting for 80's power when everyone else had a guys hitting 50 HRs.

Torii seems to be a main guy the media goes to because they trust that he wasn't doing 'roids (even when it isn't his buddy Ortiz getting busted). People trust him and Grif Jr. Personally I trust Torii way more than Griffey because you never know how down Griffey got about those injuries. Really good people can to bad things when they feel they are in a corner. Also as Steve McNair showed us, it is impossible for us to know who really has integrity.

That's a good point, I guess I didn't really consider that.

Integrety is measured by what we do when no one is looking. Thats what makes it hard to identify. But when someone always lives a life of integrety it will eventually be known by all who love and know you. People who truly have integrity do not live it for recognition but rather because of a higher calling.

gildedwolf OFFLINE Brandon Roy Posts: 137 Howls: 0	This whole issue is one reason I strongly believe the whole roids era of baseball needs to have at least some kind of recall on records. Granted, that will never happen to remove records for HR's in a season, etc. We will be lucky if they even agree to put an asterik beside them. I see that as a minimum. I'd like to see a ban from the hall of fame and removal of records. Rob

Unfortunately that would be pretty much impossible. They will never figure out all the players that used steroids. And it wasn't just hitters, lots of pitchers used too, I would be willing to guess.

Which is why removing records is a slippery slope and completely infeasible.
