According to St. Louis Today, St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols has declared that he is clean as a whistle. He said: "You're not going to find anything out about me. They can test me every day if they want. I don't care."
Pujols is in the midst of a legendary year with 19 home runs and 48 RBIs, the most in the majors in both triple crown categories. Already on his resume this season is a major-league record for home runs hit in April (14), the fastest ever to hit his 19th home run (he did that in the team's 37th game), and, coming this week, cover shots on both Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News.
I believe Pujols and think there is no reason to doubt him. Since entering the majors, he has dominated. His work ethic is supposedly impeccable and his body hasn't appear to transform in a McGwire and Bonds-like way.
I am looking forward to watching Pujols enter into the parthenon of great baseball players and possibly eclipsing the legends of Ruth, Aaron, and Mays because of his ability, hard work, and genetics--not because of some needle.
