Yes, I know. There's studies that lean both ways, It's important to note though that nearly anything in excessive amounts has harmful effects on the body, especially things like drugs.

Oh, aboslutely agreed. In excessive amounts water can even kill you, and water is essential to life. The point is the propaganda put out by government/media and its just taken as gospel. I have lived my entire life by one credo "Question Authority"
The fact is there are no studies proving long term steroid use is detrimental to the health of an adult male. As I stated before, they have found these long term negative effects in women and children, but not in the adult male. But you will still see a commericial from the ad council that claims all sorts of ill effects if you use steroids. It makes me wonder why they don't fall under the laws conerning "false advertising." In fact, in the HBO documentary I mentioned, they asked that very question and the answer had something to do with while they can't provide evidence of long term ill effects, no one else can provide evidence that their claims are false either, or some such dribble.
EDIT: I should have stated there are no "credible" studies showing long term steroid use is detrimental to the health of an adult male. If the tobacco industry could pay a scientist to come up with a study that says cigarettes aren't a health hazard, then those in the anti-drug propaganda war can find a scientist or two somewhere that could make whatever claims they wish too.
I don't recall that, but no I wouldn't trust McGwire, Bonds, Palmeiro etc to state the truth on how much or when they did it.
Canseco has nothing to lose, (if that's who you're talking about) and no one's sued him for slander or libel yet. That makes me think that he's dead on with his book.
As far as Joyner goes, why wouldn't I listen to what he has to say?
Nice try. Sapp vs. Sheff.
There's also throwing accurately to be taken into account as well as age.
I can't find it either. I've been under the impression that he did get caught for a dirty test. I don't know where I got the impression either.
Canseco's career crashed because he was blackballed more than any other reason. He had back injuries too (like Big Mac oddly enough), but he was recovering from them quickly enough.

Just illustrating the point that there's more to hitting home runs and throwing hard than strength.
It's quite possible the effects of steroids caused some of his injuries.Canseco's career crashed because he was blackballed more than any other reason. He had back injuries too (like Big Mac oddly enough
Probably did. The working out without pain is one of the drawbacks of the drugs. You don't feel what's going on inside your body and can work right through an injury. That's how Bonds' knee was supposedly hurt. Just turned into a workout animal, wouldn't cycle off the stuff, couldn't feel the damage, and just kept at it until he wrecked himself.

i believe HGM quoted you in post number 50 as saying that....
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are .
