The funny thing is that kids are smart enough to see that steroids helps make athletes successful. They see through all the bullshit and get straight to the point, that many of the world's most successful athletes turned out to be using steroids and many of them still do.

It can be...but hardcore athletes don't slack off just because they're on the 'roids...it simply gives them more return for their effort.

Why not ? Sure you have to have the hand/eye coordination first but extra strength surely has to help imho.

The only problem I have with the use of it is the fact that it's against the rules...these guys do it...get caught...lie about it...and then come out later saying that they did it.

I think it matters when they break a record...it's not fair to the person that had his record broken unless it shows that they too were using steroids.

It doesn't really matter to me if they do it or not...for one I'm not a big baseball fan to begin with but just throwing this out there.
