    If this is directed at me....there is not one person in the world that, if they tested positive for PEDs, would have any affect on me or my life whatsoever.

    Probably Griffey Jr.

    Primarily because it's seemed that when one baseball player after another got nailed or at least had a finger pointed at them for suspicion, there's been a consistent statement on message boards I've posted on of "That's why Griffey's great...he did his stuff naturally!" due to he and his father's reputation in Cincinnati.

    I honestly don't think I'd be personally effected by any player getting nailed. I'd be pissed if a bust led to negative repercussions for one of my teams, but let's face it...PED technology is far superior than PED-catching technology, so I'd guess most players are on something just because they know getting caught is unlikely enough that it's a gamble worth taking. I recently read a column on Yahoo Sports about some PED that comes from deer antlers that's nearly impossible to detect unless you test right around when it was taken. If I was a pro athlete and knew about a non-legal substance that's easy to obtain and very hard to detect, I'd be all over that if I felt it would be helpful to my career, especially when it could be the difference between making millions (or at least hundreds of thousands) or trying to find a "real world" job for peanuts.

    The only reason I mention Griffey is not because it would have an emotional impact on me; but because he's the guy who if nailed would generate the most conversation with people I talk to and on message boards I visit because he's this elite guy who people here (at least) put on a pedestal as being above all of this.
