17. And Boone's age is a key give away too.

Boone's spike came when he was 32 and then sustained itself till he was 35. That's way out of the normal career progression.

Braun meanwhile is still in the so-called prime of his career, when he SHOULD be hitting these numbers. I have absolutely no idea whether or not Braun used PED's, but his stats do not show it.
