Both of you make good points. Obviously there is such a high number of minor leaguers getting positive test results because they are all looking for that little edge that can take them to the next level. Personally, I don't think Louis Gonzalez ever took steroids. He never had the look of someone that was on them. I played college baseball and saw up close what it does to people and he just never looked the part. When you are around it alot it become really easy to see. I think a great example is Eric Gagne. Acne, big square head, big upper body, threw absolute gas night in and night out.....and now the steroid scandal blows up and he is so hurt all of the time he can't play....which is a pretty classic case of what happens to your body after you wean yourself off the drugs.
I really don't think there are is any excuse for more major leaguers to get caught now, unless they are just really really dumb.
