Former Red Sux infielder Lou Merloni claims players were given steroid training.

This actually came out a few days ago locally. Dan Duquette and the other redsox management staff at the time as well as other players have basically said that it is not true. From what I have read, the redsox had the usual meeting telling players about the dangers of steroids and not to use them. I would also not be surprised if someone in the meeting said "If you choose to do them, here is how to protect yourself in terms of your health", as I would presume every team said this during this time period.

Edit: I think they did what every team in baseball did, knew steroids were present and didn't do anything beyond try to teach

Interesting, who was the team doctor / trainer talking about this? Was it Brian McNamee who later help Roger Clemens to Strike Out 20 batters for the second time as a Red Sox?
I am not surprise by trainer introduce certain PED if it help their performance.

McNamee was no where near Roger in any of his time in Boston.
