What other evidence does he have besides his career?
His stats are suspicious? He had quality seasons besides the ones he was suppose to be using steroids after 1997. What about when he was in Houston. Or did he have another trainer giving him steroids?
Even if they take them for to different things shouldnt taking steroids give you some of the same physical signs?

If I were being accused of steroid use, and I know that I never did them and wanted to tape a phone call with my accuser, I wouldn't just say "tell the truth" to him. I would state emphatically to the accuser "Tell the truth, which is that I have never used steroids."
I didn't say his stats are suspicious. I said at what point would they be suspicious to you? He already has the best stats of his generation. Would he have to go 25-4 with a 1.50 ERA every year before you became suspicious?
As far as physical signs, take Ryan Franklin as an example. He's tall and really skinny. You would never accuse of him of steroid use if you saw him. But he was using. You can't just take outward appearance as total proof, at least for pitchers.
