I base my statement on not only the things you talked about but also many statements of people around him and who are very close to him. He's always been very strongly against using that stuff.

I happen to believe he did not.

No, it probably wouldn't be cheating but "everybody" isn't doing it.

And no, I can't prove that they aren't and you can't prove that they are, so that's done.

That's my biggest problem with the whole thing.. you can't prove the negative. There is no way possible to conclusively prove that you did NOT use steroids. So once the speculation is out there about a player, there is NOTHING he can do about it... nothing.

I feel really bad for the players of the last 20 years that did it clean because they will forever be known as part of the "Steroid generation" of baseball and even without a single shred of evidence, some people will always wonder.

Yep.
