MikeI love baseball more than any other sport. I love everything about it. As much as it pains me, anyone who thinks only a few percent of the players do enhancement drugs, is living in a dream world. It's in all sports. And it ain't goin' away. My brother used to be a competitive weight lifter. He worked out with some athletes that everyone on here would know. They "All" took roids. Every single one. It is just part of the routine. Even the woman who were doing the competitive weigh lifting were into it. Now this was 15 years ago, but somehow i doubt they have all found religion. It's wrong, it's cheating, it's not good for one's health, but they do it. For all the obvious reasons. Last Spring, my shoulder was killing me. Couldn't lift my arm above my head. Or lift anything over about 5 pds, without screaming pain. Age, and many thrown baseballs and softballs from shortstop trashed it. Now, if I was in danger of losing my starting spot, or being cut from the team, due to the inability to perform, do you think I would take roids to fix me up? Hell yes. So would everyone else in here. One quick shot from the Doc, and the pain was gone by the next day. Hasn't bothered me since.
