Why do pitchers use steroids?

[Clay Dreslough]

What do you believe is the primary ACTUAL benefit of steroids?

I think it results in more velocity and better healing but i think the power kinda outweighs the healing ability.

Steroids help pitchers recover quicker, thus allowing for greater velocity on the next outing.

exactly...but it effects the players less... as in Pitching, you have to know how to pitch....

i think it gives you more power to throw and also keeps you energized longer for longer outings
