It's probably pretty safe to assume that he wasn't 100% additive free since his era wasn't exactly "clean". As Killibrew's former teammate Mudcat Grant put it,"Wait a minute. Guys in our generation did things, too."
In that case, I'm sure you'll agree that I should just assume Pujols is probably dirty. Especially now that he has a hitting coach well-versed in PED use.
Just pointing out that everyone should think twice before declaring players Enhancement free. Back in the 60s and 70s a very significant percentage of players did use some sort of enhancer. Also many teams/trainers spiked the coolers so it's insane to declare anyone Enhancement free. I'd say there is a 99% chance that at some point, maybe without even knowing it, Killebrew's played at least one game with an illegal substance in his system. I don't think any less of him for it. But quite frankly its time for all the hypocritical PED crap to be dropped. There hasn't been a clean era of baseball since the 50's.
And yes it's quite possible that Pujols has used an enhancer of some sort. I don't think he has recently used but its completely plausible that he did ingest a PED at some point. Especially early on prior to 2003. What would McGwire as a hitting coach have to do with it though? If McGwire was the team trainer and there was no testing(granted the current testing is a joke)then maybe you could reasonably suspect that he's juicing players.

Opps that should read Killebrew's former teammate. Typos like that annoy the shit out of me.

I think it should be allowed since they all do it anyway. Except Greg Maddux. He's clean because he doesn't have any muscles.
