Clubhouse culture led ex-Mariner to steroids and greenies

Who’d have thought people would eat dog biscuits to gain an advantage!

And yes, I know that’s not what it’s referring to.

Those would be the most defective steroids EVER.

Thanks. I just read Rob Huizenga’s “You’re okay, It’s just a bruise” which is about the author’s time as the Oakland Raider’s physician during the late 1980s. Steroid use was just coming into play in the NFL at the time, and RH talked about one player being paid to give “don’t do steroid” speeches after his career ended. That’s why I was wondering about SM’s interview. Overall, Huizenga’s book is quite an interesting read.

No they do not.

Interviewees are almost never compensated outside of the tabloids, where it’s a fairly common practice to pay for a tip on celeb x’s location/activities/etc

Don’t interviewees typically get a fee for spilling the beans in a story like this, or do they share their story out of the goodness of their heart?

Also, what ramifications would admitting steroid use (or any form of cheating in general) have on a player’s MLB pension?

so, why did Shane move up to Vail? did they open a new Home Depot up there?

He’s not naming names. Until his book comes out.

I don’t know much about the guy, but if a publisher out there thinks people want to read about a clubhouse with “widespread” roid use, he may get an offer that pays more than selling insurance or whatever it is he does now.
