What percentage of baseball players do you believe have taken HGH?

I guarantee there are players currently playing who have taken it or are still using it, probably players people would be suprised used HGH for injuries and PED. Since HGH was undetectable when steroids were banned and when there was steroid testing Im sure players moved on to HGH like handful of retired and current players have admitted to using.
Enough that it didn’t give anybody much of an advantage. PEDs in the 90s was like SAT prep courses, people didn’t do it to get ahead people just did it to catch up with everybody else that was doing it.
If you’re a fringe major leaguer, and you could guarantee yourself a spot on a MLB roster by juicing, which was legal for a long time, you’d do it without thinking twice.

A better question would be what % of baseball players have NOT taken HGH? And I’d say less than 10%.

Throughout the Steroid Era, I’d estimate that about 75% of players used some sort of PED at least once.

Obviously it’s just a guess, but I think 80% to 90% of the athlete are on Steroids and/or HGH. Period. Doesn’t matter if you talk about baseball, football, boxing, cycling, golf…etc. Steroids have been used in sport since the ealy 50′s.
