Quote from Brandonf:
I think he is lying, but I dont care really either. Its a bunch of BS that Congress has seen fit to get involved with baseball. When I watch baseball I want to see someone throw the ball hard, and I want to see Homeruns. If its just a game of RBI's I will fall asleep. If they want to take steroids so they can throw faster, hit further I say more power to them.
Sorry, wrong answer. That means that anyone who ever wishes to pursue a career as a professional athlete must get juiced, and expose himself to considerable health risk, just to be competitive. And all to entertain you. What if your young son showed early prowess in one sport or another? Would you encourage him to develop his natural talent, which would then have to be supplemented with the likes of anabolic steroids if he is to even have a chance at a career in that sport? Steroid usage in competitive sports is one form of short-cutting and cheating. What kind of environment does that create in the sports world? Whatever happened to actual sportsmanship? I vaguely recall some recent press about early stage bionic limb development for amputees. What happens when technology develops to the point where bionic limbs perform much better than man's natural limbs? Will that inspire some ambitious young athletes to have their arms or legs replaced with bionic limbs to give them an edge? And all so that you can get to see more homeruns?Quote from Dr. Zhivodka:
Couldn't give two shits about steroids in Baseball. They should all be juiced. It would make the game more interesting.
Congress should kill itself.
They just do (and I imagine even more so if they are addressed). You mentioned that you have good trapezius development. Do you take steroids? If so, then there is no surprise. If you do not, then compare your traps to those of someone who you know is a roidster. No contest, both in terms of disproportionate size and definition.Quote from bigarrow:
...If a guy is taking steroids and isn't working out his traps why would should they get that much bigger?

I think athletes should train hard and do their level best to be competitive. But I don't think they should have to resort to destroying their health (and I'm not just talking about rotator cuffs or knees and such) just to stay in the game. That's absurd and will result in the kind of chemical one-upmanship that will one day result in a league of circus freaks, because the next guy will always be willing to take a bit more chemical risk and play it even closer to the wire...
The use of anabolic steroids and such is a cancer in the sports world. I imagine that the people who don't give a shit are typically the ones who also like to see blood in a hockey rink.
