Former Dodgers closer Eric Gagne has a new biography coming out. And he?s droppin? bombs: He says that 80 percent of his Dodgers teammates were using PEDS:
In the book, Gagne does not provide any names of players he says used PEDs. Baseball began stricter testing in the spring of 2006. Players are subject to HGH testing during spring training and in the offseason, but not during the season.
?I was intimately aware of the clubhouse in which I lived. I would say that 80 percent of the Dodgers players were consuming them,? Gagne says in the book.
That?s ? a lot.
Gagne played for the Dodgers from 1999-2006. His best season ? 2003 ? came right before the onset of PED testing. On that team was Mitchell Report veterans Paul Lo Duca and Kevin Brown. ?Two-time testing loser Guillermo Mota was there too. ?There are other interesting names who played on those early 2000s Dodgers teams too, in big and small roles. Many of whom ? if they were specifically outed ? would create quite an uproar.
If he?s telling the truth it certainly paints an even more stark picture of PED use in that era. ?But it also reveals just how unfair it is to single out certain individual players from that era and pretending that they were uniquely villainous.
