Red Sox Nation is also shocked. It brings their 2004 and 2007 Championships into question. 

There are times I wonder if the whole anabolics debate is a tempest in a teapot. Is any enhancement not available during the 70's bad? What about cortical steroids that allow fatigued shoulders to pitch when Duke Snider would have just dealt with a dead arm? How about Tommy John Surgery prolonging a career? How about lasik eye surgery giving batters better than 20/20 vision and contact lenses that help them pick up the ball out of the pitcher's hand? How about highly-oxygenated platelet therapy and hyperbaric chambers? Joe DiMaggio didn't have those things. Should any ballplayer?
