OpenSesame said:a good friend of mine has pitched for the Giants, Reds and Phillies over the last 10 years. He told me it wasnt common with the pitchers or finesse players but a lot of the power hitters used them every off season.
the guy who stands out to me is that big freakin linebacker with the 49ers with the cro-magnon man jawbone and forehead. Fuckin guy looks like Frankenstien....
Although I'm not sure if I go along with the 99.99% of athletes juice angle, the truth is that some pitchers even juice. How do I know? Well, for one thing when Chuck Finley was involved in a divorce with Tawny Kitaen (sp?) she ratted him out for steroids. I read the actual divorce papers at The Smoking Gun, and she told a pretty convincing story.
Also, I've pretty well suspected guys like Roger Clemens were probably on something. Now, I doubt a guy like that would be using a bodybuilder type cycle, but I suspect he probably at times uses steroids for the fairly legitimate purpose of replacing testosterone that he would have had in his twenties so that he can recover from injuries and maintain his substantial thigh mass. (Dude's 42.)
Now, here's what I think is funny that most casual baseball fans don't realize: nobody in history has hit more homeruns in a season that Roger Maris without using steroids. That's just a fact, and anybody who thinks otherwise is naive.
