I experimented with steriods in my college years (typical reasons, non sports related over a 3-6 month period). I was also a baseball player (for fun, I was pretty good but never major league worthy). There is absolutely no truth to the conclusions of that article. When I was taking steriods I gained about 30 pounds 180 to 210 and had a pretty imposing physique but at no time were my muscles bulging so much to stand in the way of me generating the increased bat speed to clobber the ball like I never had. I felt like a million bucks and everything in my life enjoyed the same uplift as my muscles did at the time. There is no doubt in my mind that these superstar cheats in todays game would have ended there careers the same as the lackluster stars going by the names of Jim Rice and Fred Lynn. (yes I'm a Boston fan) Maybe that author should have stuck a few needles in his ass like I did before he wrote that crap.
