Did Barry Bonds take steroids?

Quote from Virtuoso:
No they won't, but if you are looking for an external substance to improve your trading then I would suggest 1.5grams of pscilocybin in some tea each morning a half hour before the market opens. This should be enough to help you forget yourself and become "one with the market"...
Excellent! Will do. Thanks again.
Quote from ARogueTrader:
Taking steroids keeps you on the field freer from injuries, this is an undisputed fact.
If you go to a doctor with muscle injury, the doctor often prescribes steroids to enhance the recovery process.
Remember when Big Mac quit taking andro?
He started to have injuries. He was nearly injury free during his run to 70 when he was taking andro.
Taking a drug that helps you heal from injuries, helps you get more at bats, is an unfair advantage.
He quit baseball very abruptly when he could have easily continued for many years....but he knew his body would break down without the juice.
Is Barry a great athlete who is using performance enhancing druges? Yes.
Is Barry a cheater? Yes.
Anabolic/androgenic steroids(AAS) DO mitigate cortisol-activity, thereby allowing the user to maintain muscle mass, that is the greatest benefit available to the athlete.
AAS increase cellular protein synthesis in soft tissues which is an obvious advantage in tissue repair.
Nandrolone, specifically, increases synovial fluid production, making joints perform better with less friction. This is the "Nor-andro" version, I have no idea if Mc Guire was takign Norandro. In any event, the oral form has exceedingly poor bioavailability -- only the poor, -dione version was available at the time.
Androstendione had little impact on McGuire's career... Andro isn't even used anymore, bioavailability/conversion of approximately 14% in oral form, and a weak binding agent.
The point is that the vast majority of prohormones, and ALL the prohormones available to McGuire at the time were a joke and had very little efficacy, other than making your nuts shrink a bit and produced a ton of estrogen. The -dione version which McGuire was using was terribly estrogenic. I imagine the majority of McGuire's gains were likely due to rhGH and 300g of protein a day.
The new stuff, an analog of Methyltrienolone and Trenbolone is wicked sh*t, IOW, what Bonds was allegedly taking is a full-blown steroid.

I have no desire to take any anabolic steroids, BUT I wouldn't mind trying some HGH, especially now that I am in my mid-40's.
I hear that it can improve your eyesight so much that you can throw away your reading glasses!
I've been taking rhGH for over a year, fantastic results -- too numerous to mention.
Talking about the injectable rhGH, not that secretagogue BS. FYI: HGH cannot be taken orally, all oral formulations, precursors, etc. are a scam

The -dione version hasn't been used in years, the -diol version is FAR superior, but a joke as well...

Wonder if Brady Anderson was juicing in 1996?
Remember when he had that mutant-like 50HR season?

Perhaps unwittingly. Are there steroids in semen?
Quote from ElCubano:
A great athlete doesn't necessarily make a great Player.... STOCKTON may not have the ability most gaurds had, but his thinking made him great not to mention having Malone by his side for so many years helped..
People were saying that about him forever, but when he was younger he was actually pretty damn quick. Geez, isn't a white guy allowed to have any athletic ability anymore? Don Beebe used to be one of the fastest guys in the nfl but he never got hyped as much the other speed merchants (at least that's how I remember it). (Remember that chase down to save a td in the superbowl?)
Commissioner Bud Selig issues "gag" order on steroid scandal:

Yeah, that will make everything go away, won't it?
