There's not proof he ever said this. The court records were sealed and what you heard about him admitting to taking roids was through a leak, which is no gaurantee that it happened. Then when he appologized, he never actually said he took roids. So if you believe Bonds didn't take roids then you have to believe Giambi as well. There's no proof for either.

He said it took about 2 or 3 years off of his career and that they need to teach kids the dangers of this stuff. He really did seem sincere and i think Kenny brought him in to teach that message.

KW brought in Jeremy Giambi as a favor for his agent, that is all. Good relationships betwee a GM and an agent are key especially when he represents players on the Sox. Besides Jeremy never came out and said that his brother did anything, he admitted that he had done somethings during the course of his career but never said that his brother did.

Besides Jeremy never came out and said that his brother did anything, he admitted that he had done somethings during the course of his career but never said that his brother did. While he did not specifically say his brother used steroids, Jeremy cited a press conference a month ago during which Jason sat in front of a small group of New York media and apologized profusely. He never gave a reason for the apology. "If you don't know what he's apologizing for,'' Jeremy says, "you must've been in a coma for two years.''

Balta1701 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Just remember this...according to published accounts of Canseco's book, which I have not read, Raffy was using Winstrol specifically because it would help you out as a steroid but would not make your body explode like some of the other steroids were. And before he tested positive, you heard exactly the explanation he would have wanted...that he didn't have the body type of a juicer. A change in body type can just as easily be due to a change in steroid variety as it could be to starting them in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A change in body type can just as easily be due to a change in steroid variety as it could be to starting them in the first place. I can tell you first and foremost, Winny, or Winstrol, is used for cutting cycles. It does not increase size and water retention like D-bol etc. It actually helps cut down fat, and when used with Deca as a base, eliminates water retention and fat content. There is no real inflation like when Giambi juiced and held all his water. Consequently, Bonds took HGH after the 90's which made his head and body grow in proportion. So if you want to say that he didnt take anything in the 90's, you are incorrect, he just switched his formula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be very interesting when these guys start dropping dead from heart attacks likely caused by years of steroid use. Check out what has happened to so many wrestlers once they reach their 40s after using roids for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that there's been a noticeable drop-off in production by many of the baseball players that have been rumored to be on steroids in the past, it creates a situation where a lot of teams are extremely overpaying certain players based on steroid-enhanced numbers. Thus, you have teams that are struggling because they're not the same players that they used to be when they received their big money deal. Let me guess, you're the type of fan who doesn't care if your favorite college team pays their athletes, since everyone else is doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
