SI Report: Troy Glaus Accused Of Steroids

Sports Illustrated has reported that former Angels Troy Glaus received steroid shipments between September 2003 and May 2004 while with the Anaheim Angels. (article)

Glaus received the steroids in the mail to a Corona address that was traced to him.

After playing only 91 games for the Angels in 2003, Glaus alledgedly ordered nandrolone and testosterone from Signature Pharmacy in Orlando, Florida.

Glaus continues to be slowed by injuries in 2004 and played only 58 games before the Angels decided not to re-sign him. Angel fans were angry when the Halos let the 2002 World Series MVP sign with Arizona, but whispers of steroid concerns soon followed.

Glaus played one year with Arizona before being traded to Toronto. Did the Diamondbacks have the same info as the Angels? And why weren't the Blue Jays informed or concerned?

The Sports Illustrated report was filed by Luis Fernando Llosa and L. Jon Wertheim. The same two writers who in March reported that Gary Matthews Jr had received steroids from a pharmacy in Alabama.
