Joe SorianoWorst, Interesting Steroid Suspicion

I heard from a few so called "experts that they thought a certain player was taking steroids. Let me leave this up to you.
Alfonso Soriano is under suspicion by these people for taking steroids. Soriano is the only person in the 40/40 club to not be linked with steroids. The other three; Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, and Jose Canseco.
From 2002-2007 he had a surge in power. He slugged .500 or more and hit 30 homers or more in five of those six seasons. In all of them he had an OPS of .800 or more. He only posted an OPS of that sort just once in a year outside of that period of time. The other time was in fact in 2008.
Soriano's career high 46 homers came in 2006. That year was his only year with the Nationals, his 40/40 season, and the most defining year of his career. He was so good in that big stadium, that the Cubs made him a one hundered million dollar man.
Now don't think I am jabbing at Soriano. I think this rumor is baseless, but I want you to decide. As I diehard Yankees fan, Soriano was one of my favorite players. This is interesting, and I hope you take some more research into it. I mainly wrote this piece so people could lead into it.
