tomorrows news story: and in completely unrelated news andy pettite has decided to retire rather than come back to pitch

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think Andy Pettite is on steriods. Hes 35 yrs old, its not like hes 42, I don't understand what hes done to have multiple people be suspicious of him.

Also, and I may be wrong, but doesn't the fact that hes a much much much much better 2nd half pitcher show he probably doesn't juice? The way I see it the time that a player would benefit most from steroids would be in the first couple months of a season?

What does Pettitte's age have to do with potential use?

The fact most people equate players performing way to well for their age with steroid use, and I also believe many people think Pettite is older than 35 since he has been around so long.

Most (smart) posters on this forum realize that PED use =/= improved performance.

Do you really think that a players age is irrelevant in whether or not people think the player may use steroids?

Grimsley apparently named Clemens, Pettitte, Segui, Tejada, Brian Roberts and Jay Gibbons.... so those names probably come up in the report whether or not there is proof other than Grimsley's affidavit...

Fringe players at 25-30 have just as much to gain by using performance enhancers as aging fringe vets 33+.
