Canseco has also implied that Ripken and Gwynn were juicing, and I haven't seen much about that anywhere. Then again, if steroid use was as widespread as it seems to have been for the last half a century you could probably throw a pile of random names out there and at least half of them will end up being linked to the drugs somehow, especially if they played during the narrow time frame that has been actively investigated by the FBI or baseball itself.
