Steriods in Sports

[muscledog95]

How do you guys feel about professional ball players taking steriods or other hormone supplement. I had a debate with a friend over this. He thinks steriods dont make a difference in a power hitter and that its all about technique. Any opinions?

steroids wold deffinately help a proffesional....although I do see your friends point on technique...that is a big part of it. Think about it this way. If you take two people (both with great technique) and give one of them steroids...which one do you think is going to prevail? you guessed right....the one on juice. Not only will the one on steroids be stronger and possibly quicker, but it's a pretty good chance that he/she will be more aggressive ( depending on what type of gear their on).

Forget the benefits in recovery, or retaining muscle mass during heavy preseason training.....

When you're talking about competing at a professional level then gear can make all the difference. It becomes harder and harder to make advances in technique but you can always get stronger.

whats your guys opinion on Mark M. From the Cardinals? From what i read andro is junk but it sure as hell helped him. I dont think its fair.

He's taking steroids, not andro.

Of course gear makes a huge difference in pro sports. You'd be surprised at the number of NBAers who cycle offseason...

andro or or AS, he's also a professional athlete, with skills and genetics that 99.999% of the world don't have.

look at him 5 yrs ago and look at him now. Not the same person at all. Same thing with Barry Bonds. I watched the sport show on fox and they made some very good points. All I got to say is very fishy with Barry
