I can say for sure that greenies don't improve performance much at all.
I was prescribed them for ADD, and one dosage was literally green capsules.
If a pro player was having trouble concentrating, then yes it might help with that. I've been to the batting cage both with and without and did not gain any advantage whatsoever. Neither in power, or quickness.
There is an element of things where natural adrenalin during stressful events can give a lot of improvement. But it's somewhat short lived. Many of the old PED things like sheep testoserone have been proven ineffective and occasionally dangerous.
The modern stuff and actual steroids like Alzado had allow more than day on/day off training, and that does increase power and maybe quickness as a side benefit.
So yes, there is a difference between old schemes and newer ones.
