At least someone is honest about PEDs.

Saw Arroyo quoted on ESPN2's bottom line and couldn't stop laughing at his flat-out honesty about PEDs:

"I take 10 to 12 different things a day, and on the days I pitch, there's four more things. There's a caffeine drink I take from a company that ... Curt Schilling introduced me to in '05. I take some Korean ginseng and a few other proteins out there that are not certified. But I haven't failed any tests, so I figured I'm good."

I know its not mets-related but it's nice to see someone being really honest about them in an era where most players either (a) keep their mouth shut or (b) get on their high horse and belittle everyone who doesn't believe them. The rest of the article is good too. Arroyo, you are my new favorite non-Met player.

I have to be honest, the first thing I thought was

“Well, that greatly increases my respect for Brandon Arroyo.”

yeah

Compared to Manny Rodriguez and Daniel Ortiz, he’s really handling the drugs issue in a decent and honest way.

TBH

That article makes him sound like a gigantic douchebag. Whatever respect he gains from his candor in answering the questions is immediately negated by his “I dont give a shit if I test positive, I’m taking these anyway” attitude.

Looks like they didnt help him all that much anyway.
