Posted March 27, 200520 yr It's just stupid if you ask me. The man plays in Coors field for crying out loud! Link to page
March 27, 200520 yr No way Helton takes steriods, he isn't as big as obvious roiders like Bonds or Sosa. But I heard on ESPN 8 "The Ocho" that BenderRobot has been accused of steriod use.
March 27, 200520 yr Because the kid is a stud, doesnt mean he takes steroids... 721905[/snapback] Helton is a veteran who knows the game more than just about everyone. I don't know why he would be grouped with the young players like Peavy, Cabrera, Harden, etc.
March 27, 200520 yr Helton isn't on roids. Proof? Just find a picture of him with his shirt off. *shudders*
March 27, 200520 yr Interestign how a neutral/under the radar player automatically gets a free pass. Not saying he did, not saying he didnt...just interestign the way people let guys get off automatically.
March 27, 200520 yr Todd Helton is under the radar to the masses, but you aren't going to find many people here who don't know who he is. Also because of this: Hagin has since apologized and clarified his statements, telling ESPN Radio on Sunday that he "was referring to supplements, creatine, not steroids" when he said "juiced" and that there was "no way I would have said Todd was on steroids." And there's no reason to suspect Mr. Helton, as opposed to others.
March 28, 200520 yr Why shouldnt he be a 'suspect', he fits the bill of a roider... Um, how? 722116[/snapback] Anyone who's a good hitter is accussed of steriods at some point by someone.
March 28, 200520 yr Why shouldnt he be a 'suspect', he fits the bill of a roider... Um, how? 722116[/snapback] Puts up huge numbers...big guy...how is Rafael Palmeiro more of a suspect than Helton?
March 28, 200520 yr Author How can a guy that avgs. 36 HRs a year with half his games in Coors field be using steroids? His best year he hit 49 and that was 2001. That year was a big offensive year.

Um, how? 722116[/snapback] Puts up huge numbers...big guy...how is Rafael Palmeiro more of a suspect than Helton? 722191[/snapback] I don't think Palmeiro did roids, but if anything Raffy's 600 club membership (or close to it, not sure if he got there yet) has a bit to do with the suspicion, while Helton hits ~30 homers in the unquestioned biggest hitter's park in the league.

He played for the Cubs, Rangers, and Orioles, who are all in hitters parks.
