Those only speak to the general effects such drugs can have. They do not speak to the specific claim made regarding those drugs: "'greenies' which helped guys like Mantle and Aaron perform at the levels they performed at."

I would like to see something regarding those two specific ballplayers since they were the ones mentioned.
