2004 World Champs* Add Another User to the List

ESPN - Arroyo, who pitched for the Red Sox from 2003 to 2005, said he took androstenedione, which was banned in 2004, as well as amphetamines, which were banned in 2006, according to the Herald report. He said he gave up taking andro, a steroid precursor, when a rumor spread through baseball that due to lax production standards, some of it was laced with steroids.
Mandatory testing for performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball began in 2004.

"Before 2004, none of us paid any attention to anything we took," he said, according to the Herald. "Now they don't want us to take anything unless it's approved. But back then, who knows what was in stuff? The FDA wasn't regulating stuff, not unless it was killing people or people were dying from it."

Arroyo said he started taking taking andro after 1998, after a season with the Pirates' Double-A affiliate. "Andro made me feel great, I felt like a monster. I felt like I could jump and hit my head on the basketball rim," he said, according to the report.

Add another one. Bronson Arroyo of the 2004 Curse Breaking Sox* admits he won't be surprised if he is on the list of 104. Cheers to Bronson for coming out now to try and diffuse the situation, but I am not buying the "before 2004, none of us paid any attention to anything we took." Really? You didn't know? Your body is your business, your lifeline, your office, your meal ticket, yet you don't know what your putting in it? This defense failed miserably when Bonds and Sheff tried it. It's not gonna work here either. Tainted Town, USA adds another resident.
