Because in the context of baseball and steroids, you’re guilty until proven innocent:
After Mets shortstop Jose Reyes injured his right leg last May, his season deteriorated into a series of physical setbacks. As the frustrations mounted about the injury — first diagnosed as calf tendinitis and then as a torn hamstring tendon — Reyes’s agent, Peter Greenberg, approached the Mets with a proposal.
Greenberg urged the Mets to agree to send Reyes to Toronto to receive platelet-rich plasma therapy — a procedure that does not violate baseball’s performance-enhancing drug policies — from Dr. Anthony Galea, according to several people with direct knowledge of the matter.
Galea, who has also treated prominent athletes like Tiger Woods, the sprinter Donovan Bailey and the swimmer Dara Torres, is under investigation by the authorities in the United States and Canada who are seeking to determine if he distributed performance-enhancing drugs. Galea has acknowledged providing human growth hormone to clients over 40, and says he uses it, but he has denied providing professional athletes with banned substances.
Well I don’t know about you, but that’s more than enough information for me. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Jose Reyes used steroids. Is it really that hard to believe? I mean, everyone in baseball did roids, and you’re naive if you think that players linked to PED-supplying doctors are an exception. This is stronger evidence than the Mitchell Report. In fact, just short of seeing a needle sticking out of Reyes’ ass, this is definitive proof that Jose Reyes is a steroid user.
It sucks for Reyes and the Mets that whatever “treatment” Galea provided didn’t work, but I suppose that’s just karma for being a dirty cheater. No Ingles my ass; Reyes is as guilty as Bonds.
