You show me one person that kept his weight from the age of 19 to the age of 24, let alone 37 years old

How old was Griffey when he was a Rookie?

After you show me one person that stays in peak physical condition from 19 to 37 and puts on 50 pounds naturally. I'm willing to buy the jump to 205 as natural, it is that extra 25 pounds of muscle that is a little suspicious. Either way I'm not saying he necessarily did anything. All I'm saying is all the warning signs that get everyone else accused are there and somehow he gets a free pass.

Dude, it is there JOB to be in peak condition, all these guys do is WORK OUT. If my job was to hit a baseball, and nothing else, I would be working out all the time also.

You work out for 18 years, you are giong to add muscle

Also, just a note, isn't like his muscle mass is in his chest area, his muscle additions are within his core, or his legs/abs

You want an example of a kid just growing into his body. Look at Carlos Zambrano. He was a fat kid that threw heat and then got put on a conditioning program and he is a huge now, but with muscle

That's the opposite case. It is a lot easier for a naturally large person to work out and make their frame more muscular. It is a lot harder for someone who should be 185 to 205 to add that much extra weight to their frame.

Should be. From all accounts, his dad was a large guy, wasn't he?

Because of off season workouts and things, these guys turn their bodies around alot quicker then normal people.

I am the first to admit that people use things they probably shouldn't be using, but I highly doubt Griffey was one of them. His name was never brought up in any of these allegations

I was just thinking, it is pretty amazing how fast that McGwire vanished from the game, don't hear a PEEP out of him....

His Dad weighed 200.

There are only 115 players that have been linked to steroids out of the thousands that played in the steroid era. That is just the tip of the iceberg. There are TONS of users that have never been linked. Griffey might not be one of them but not being linked certainly doesn't mean he's never used either.
