08:13 AM ET 02.28 | Chipper Jones played through the thick of tempting times. There was a time when he considered it. [Jones] thought about taking a pill, sticking a needle in his arm, doing whatever it is cheaters do in hopes of gaining an edge and fooling us into believing the mutant statistics all came about from hard work and whey shakes. "Yeah. I mean, definitely," the Braves' almost-40 third baseman said Monday when asked if he ever considered using performance-enhancing drugs. "You see peers doing it. You see contemporaries on other teams doing it and putting up [big] numbers. But at that point in my career, while I didn't have kids yet, and I thought, I don't want to jeopardize their lives [with the backlash] one day."

So, who did he see on his team doing it?
Also, you gotta wonder if this is one of those articles that comes out right before the other shoe drops.

They all say the same thing. That they were merely tempted. Until they remember they gave in to that temptation a long time ago.

Remember he used to play with Rocker, who already said that he used them, and Sheffield, who was listed in the Mitchell Report.

If you see people on your own team that you refer to as "peers" cheating, and you don't report it, you're just as bad as the cheater. Doesn't surprise me that a piece of garbage like Chipper Jones would turn a blind eye to cheating on his own team. Baseball will be better off when this scumbag is gone.

Sounds like saw a lot of guys in the Braves organization taking them.
Braun? yes he saw it, but he did not report it immediately, so it does not technically count.
