Yup, roids are for recovery. #12 You get good at something by training for whatever it is you are doing. Most people I talk to have no idea about what steroids really do.

Asian players might be taking designer steroids which, unless tested for specifically, won’t be detected.

Of course, there’s other crap you can take like insulin, HGH etc… to help you along.

#12,

Train harder and longer. Faster recuperation, more power. Speed? Did you watch the World Baseball Classic? It seemed obvious enough to me that speed is not high on the list of most MLB players.

Uncontrollable outbursts of rage? Only if they keep injecting themselves. Otherwise they’ll have uncontrollable outbursts of depression. And high-pitched voices.

They may not get that plaque in Cooperstown, but they’ll always have their shriveled testicles and uncontrollable outbursts of rage. Nobody can take those away.

Is there a reason I should care if ballplayers use steroids?

It’s hard for me to believe that steroids would help improve hand/eye coordination when it comes to batting. My image of steroids is strong and dumb, not explosive bat speed and better timing.

The list will grow, and many more will get away with it in all sports. The lure of money and fame.

@8 word. I’m a lifelong Reds fan, but when I hear “Pete Rose” I can only think “jackass.” I wonder if he’ll get in though. Barry will and Roger will though.

Heh, if I had a body like theirs, I’d be damned to be living in Tokyo. How else could I fit into a bathtub like this?
