So ... We've Got Some Affidavit Names

pujolsblue.jpg
Everyone’s guessing about who the blacked-out names in the Jason Grimsley report are, and it has been a fun parlor game so far. But we all knew eventually the names would get out. And we’ve been digging around … and some sources have given us some names.
How reliable are these names? We feel pretty confident in them, but we can’t go 100 percent, since the information is secondhand. We’ll say this: If Bud Selig issuing a press release naming the names is a 10, and picking a player at random out of the Baseball Encyclopedia is a 1, we’re at an 8.
So. Let’s do it then. Remember: Betting lines are for entertainment purposes only.
First: The person who told Grimsley about the positive test in 2003. That’s former Royals general manager Allard Baird.
As many people have guessed, one of the “former players” who were sold out by Grimsley: Sammy Sosa. Our source(s) couldn’t confirm if the other was Rafael Palmeiro.
Nothing new or exciting about that name. Then it starts to get interesting. We’ve heard amphetamine rumors of Miguel Tejada, but we can’t confirm that. What we can confirm? The doozy.
Grimsley says that a former employee of [redacted] and personal fitness trainer to several Major League Baseball players once referred him to an amphetamine source.. Later, this source provided him with “amphetamines, anabolic steroids and human growth hormone.” This trainer? His name is Chris Mihlfeld, a Kansas City-based “strength and conditioning guru.” (And former Strength And Conditioning Coordinator for the Royals.)
Does Mihlfeld’s name sound familiar? If it doesn’t, he — and we assure you, this gives us no pleasure to write this — has been Albert Pujols’ personal trainer since before Pujols was drafted by the Cardinals in the 13th round of the 1999 draft. We have no confirmation that Pujols’ name is in the affidavit … but Mihlfeld’s is. If you read the document, it doesn’t say the trainer/Mihlfeld supplied all the HGH and what-not; it just says the trainer was the referrer.
Yeah. Sigh. We just report what we’re told, folks. Ever hope your source is wrong? This is one of those times.
(UPDATE: OK, we’ve taken our head out of the microwave long enough to update you a bit. First, here’s a blog entry from Mihlfeld’s sister about his friendship with Pujols. And, on a more amusing (and somewhat damning) note, here’s a “diary” Grimsley wrote about his quick recovery from Tommy John surgery. (At MLB.com!) He thanks Mihlfeld for helping him with his recovery.
We repeat: We are not claiming that Pujols has taken HGH. We are simply pointing out that Milhfeld is reportedly mentioned in the affidavit, and that he has connections to be Grimsley and Pujols. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re going to go back to our silent screams of pain.)



Man , I hope this is not the case , but this could be a Long Summer

Albert, ya think? I've been saying this for two years.

Not good. Now the top will come off. They were pointing to him as the only clean one.


Even if he didn't perception is greater than truth and its what people will believe.

Baseball is such a joke for not cracking down on HGH...didn't they learn their lesson after the steroids debacle? They have been turning a blind eye to the rampant use of HGH and it is going to backfire on them just as steroids and amphetamines did!

Is the NFL, NBA, NCAA, and NHL also jokes? NONE of them test for HGH bc it requires a blood test and this will not get past the unions.

The NFL HGH stories will be coming soon.

Yes they are. You take piss samples, you store them, just like international sports and/or olympic sports, and you say "Hey, we might not be able to test for X now, but when we can, we'll go back and check your piss and if you're using it....:finger: (you're fucked)"

A simple deterrent that doesn't force the unions to allow blood tests...

very good chance Albert has put something like that into his body. This makes it an even greater possibility

I will always be amazed that people come down so hard on Baseball while the most obvious sport, the NFL, walks in the clouds. Read below....

On the list were the names of NFL players who had prescriptions for steroids filled shortly before they played in the 2004 Super Bowl. Super Bowl 2004 turned out to be one of the most exciting Super Bowls ever. When the Carolina Panthers took on the New England Patriots, 140 million Americans tuned in to watch.

Two players among the Panthers' starting offensive linemen had prescriptions filled for a banned steroid within a week and a half of the game, according to the list obtained by 60 Minutes Wednesday. So did the Panthers' star punter, one of the best in the NFL.

The list says the Panthers players had prescriptions for steroids filled at a South Carolina pharmacy. It doesn’t say whether they actually used the steroids. But all three players repeatedly refilled their prescriptions – in one case, 10 times.

The NFL says it tests players randomly, without warning, throughout the year. And yet there’s no record of these players ever testing positive.

"Apparently, players are not intimidated by the program," says David Black, a forensic toxicologist who helped the NFL set up its drug testing program in the late 1980s. 60 Minutes Wednesday showed him the players' prescription information without telling him their names.

"I must confess, before looking at this information, I really did not imagine that someone could use -- drug as it's represented here, and not be identified in the program," says Black, who thought they would get caught.

Now, if this were four guys on a major league baseball team, it would be the biggest sports news for weeks.

By no means am I saying that MLB is any worse than any other sport, but this thread isn't about football...

Exactly. It never is.

i was wondering why it seemed pujols always got a pass when it came to the doping talk, you always here about bonds, giambi, mcgwire and palmero but pujols name is harldy ever brought up as a suspect, but he definately should be looked at simply because of his production over the last few years.

I think because baseball needed a new hero to look up to and Pujois fit the bill. Quiet, likeable and gives an all out effort everytime you see him play.

Bud Selig should go run the WWE instead. He'd be a perfect fit. What a joke it is they don't do blood tests so they can't test for HGH.

The union and the owners don't want a real commisioner thats why the MLB owner appointed their ow puppet a former/still owner.
