Schilling: Sox wanted me on PEDs

This seems pretty huge.

Curt Schilling was on Colin Cowherd?s show yesterday and said that Red Sox officials suggested that he use PEDs when his career was ending in 2008 due to a shoulder injury:

Asked for more details, Schilling said the conversation occurred in the clubhouse and involved ?former members of the organization ? they?re no longer there. It was an incredibly uncomfortable conversation. Because it came up in the midst of a group of people. The other people weren?t in the conversation but they could clearly hear the conversation. And it was suggested to me that at my age and in my situation, why not? What did I have to lose? Because if I wasn?t going to get healthy, it didn?t matter. And if I did get healthy, great.

The fact that he and the Red Sox differed on the sort of treatment he received back in 2008 was well-reported at the time, but no one to my knowledge ever talked about this sort of thing. ?And, it?s worth noting, Schilling has been known to engage in hyperbole in the past.

That said, this is quite an accusation. ?It seems to me that such an accusation is every bit as worthy of investigation by MLB as the Miami New Times story. ?Especially if the people he?s referring to still have jobs in Major League Baseball.
