Okay, so, today I was messing around online, and I saw this wild rumor about Aaron Judge and PEDs. Yeah, the same Aaron Judge who’s been smashing home runs for the Yankees. The dude’s a beast, right? It got me thinking, could this actually be true? I decided I gotta dig into this myself.

First, I scrolled through a bunch of articles and social media posts. It all seemed to start with some random “#BREAKING” post claiming Judge was under investigation for using performance-enhancing drugs. Then I saw that others said he is going to have a drug test after an anonymous source told MLB about the alleged performance enhancing drug use. I was shocked! Some folks were saying it was a big deal, but others were like, “Nah, this is just noise.”
I dug deeper. I found out that this rumor popped up right in the middle of the World Series. Talk about bad timing, especially with some saying he wasn’t having the best performance at that moment. And guess what? This whole thing seemed to originate from some random account on X (you know, that bird app) on October 27th. That was right between Games 2 and 3 of the World Series. Pretty sketchy, huh?
Then, I checked out some more reliable sources like official sports news sites. They all said the same thing: there’s no official investigation by the MLB. No statement, no nothing. So, I started to feel a bit more relieved. I mean, Judge gets tested all the time, like most players, and he’s never been caught up in any scandals.
I also learned about Judge’s contract with the Yankees. He signed a massive nine-year, $360 million deal. That’s $40 million a year! It made me think, why would someone with that kind of money and success risk it all? Besides, I remembered his 2022 season – breaking the AL single-season home run record, winning the MVP, not to mention leading the league with 52 homers and winning the Home Run Derby back in his rookie year. It’s just hard to believe he’d mess that up.
- Scrolled through tons of online content
- Found the rumor’s origin on X
- Checked official sources – no investigation
- Remembered Judge’s clean record and achievements
- Considered his massive contract
So, after all this digging, I came to my own conclusion. It seems like this whole Aaron Judge PED thing is just a bunch of internet rumors. There’s no real evidence, and it doesn’t make sense when you look at his career and what he’s achieved. I’m going to chalk this one up to people trying to stir up drama, especially during a big event like the World Series. It’s wild how quickly these things can spread online, right? But, hey, at least it was an interesting little investigation for my day!
