Lou Merloni Discusses Steroids
Merloni describes a spring training meeting with doctors explaining to players how to properly use steroids while a member of the Boston Red Sox.
Merloni stood by his comments the next day.
"The organization acknowledged that there were likely players using steroids and basically 'if you're gonna use them, this is how you use them so you don't abuse them.' "
