Would not surprise me. I also do not think it wrong to do so. Hell, I'd say that a 14-year old kid with the skills to play professional sports and the money and resources to get ahold of PEDs, should probably jump at the opportunity. Could be the difference between being set for life at 22 and hacking out a tough existence in the minors for ten to fifteen years. And, the PEDs that exist today are not nearly as dangerous, long term, as those that were around in the 70s and 80s. The only side effect is being more prone to some joint problems and possibly feeling "shame" if you are ever discovered (I'd imagine that LeBron was using PEDs in high school, too...love me some LBJ).
When I was in high school, kids were getting their hands on anything they could get their hands on, and the parents were buying the stuff for them. Some of the stuff was legal at the time, and banned later. Some kids were on stuff that was already banned.
Either one, one look at Trout and feels that there is something not natural, there. Now, could be wrong, there are always freaks, and he does have freakish talent, regardless of his size. But...if it ever comes out that he is/has juicing/ed I will not be surprised. I will also not be surprised if he has some joint problems when he is 26, 27, 28.
Agreed. Thought I was going to lose Salvy to some grit the other night, though.
