Jacks, of course Sox players have and still do use PEDs. That's not the issue here.
Many of us have said we suspected Foulke, Kapler, Nixon, Tek, Nomar, Damon etc. I have suspicions about others including Youk, maybe Manny and Ortiz too.
And if and when Sox players are implicated and offer up such weak, pathetic defenses despite the evidence against them, we'll compare Sox fans reactions to Yankee fans reactions. I, for one, wouldn't believe any of their excuses...it doesn't matter who they play for. I do not, though, believe a WS championship can be considered tainted because players got caught..simply because the competition was using as well.
With the $ implications and the egos involved, major sports athletes are always going to look for an edge and those who believe their ridiculous denials are only fooling themselves.
