Baseball Steroids

Ok, so the report is out and use of perhormance enhancing drugs is "rampant" in Baseball, much like in Football and Pro Wrestling and so on.

No real surprise for those in the "know", though Roger Clemons was a bit of a surprise to me.

The elite levels of most major sports seems to be "contaminated" with performance enhancers, and this is truly sad.

Elite level athletes are genetic freaks to begin with and yet, the feel compelled to use drugs in their various forms, what does this tell us?
What does it say about our society?

thats because these sports are billion dollar industries and the pressure to win is reall really high.

People were playing and winning without them before...

yeah but baseball and espiecially football wasn;t so high pressured as they are now. also steroids weren;t so readily available as they are now. also we don;t know for a fact that they didn't use steroids we assume they didn't. but who knows, the players probably didn;t know you training comes to you and says this is a vitamen b shot it'll make you feel better you believe it. steroid use in sports goes way back to the later 60's early 70's.

Due to the side effects of performance enhancers ( and they all do have side effects) no trainer would give them to pro athlete and say it was something else, I find that hard to believe, its criminal.

[doug maverick]

ofcourse its criminal. just because its hard believe doesn;t make it untrue

I don't know of any trainer that would risk criminal prosecution by injecting someone with an illegal substance, without their knowledge.
Seriously, that is an excuse people throw out when they get caught.
