I dunno if you guys saw this, but it looks like Big Mac finally admits to being on the gear:http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big...urn=mlb,212896

Not much of a surprise really. I remember when he hit all those home runs back in 98 or whatever and being amazed at how fuckin big his arms were. The one thing I do like in the article above is how he says he had good and bad seasons both when he was juicing and when he wasn't juicing. It's not like any of us can put on a cardinals jersey while we're on cycle and go out and crush 70 homers in a season.

bump this they all juice i would if i was a pro athlete. i do and im not a pro athlete. but if i was i would do whatever it took to make the best at what i do. thats all these guys are trying to do and the news and people that dont know what it does makes a huge fucking deal about it and run these guys names in the dirt and make them out to be the worst people ever

[Gman]

They are making such big bucks it's hard to blame them for wanting to prolong their paycheck, err careers. I really don't get the big deal surrounding it; so many peeps have plastic surgery, take supplements because they have steroid sounding names, use HRT, abuse prescription drugs, drink alcohol, Smoke, use illegal drugs .... and yet they complain first that these guys influence their children, hello what message does their behavior send? It's our culture

[Mr.Nick]

I agree with you guys. Being a someone who takes roids, I have no room to criticize, I just thought it was funny that he finally admitted it. That's like if all of the sudden Elton John came out and said "All right I admit it, I'm totally gay." It's blatantly obvious.

As GMan pointed out, we live in a hypocritical society where the top 3 most dangerous/deadly substances (alcohol, tobacco, RX pills) are totally legal, while you can go to jail for smoking pot or god forbid taking roids.

You guys need to watch bigger stronger faster if you have not. It explores all the ins and outs of this situation, it's a really good doc.

Exactly. Everyone thinks Pujols is clean. The regular fan is so clueless.
Hint, if the premier players in the league, ie Arod, Bonds, Clemens, etc., you can be assured anyone close is also taking something.

I guess that im the only one here that thinks Mark McGwire is a fucking scumbag and Im a cardinals fan. He broke that record when I was in my early 20's I think. He fucking preached the wonders of androstein and testosterone boosters and guess what I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on that junk. He lied and lied and then hugged the roger maris family and cried. He is a lying criebaby. I hope he never makes it to the hall of fame.

You guys cant fault a guy for playing the game. That player hating. Dont hate the player hate the game it made him that way.

[powerman]

I hate the owners. They cater to corporate people and their big money and give 2 flyin fucks about the average workin man . Its here and now that the average working guy cannot afforord to take his family to a ball game even in the cheap seats. I rarely watch any baseball or basketball . I can tolerate a little football.. I still love NCAA football or a good Hogh School game. Living in the Chicago area we have really big time HS football programs that always put kids into Div 1 so thats way more entertaining for me..Pro Hockey is about the only thing i watch regularly it makes it easy since the Hawks are pretty much the best team now

The only professional sport I watch anymore is UFC. I use to be a big Pro fan when guys played because they loved the sport. But I understand. If i could make money like they do I would, to no matter how much I was hated. Providing for my family is more important than being liked.

Abosutely i will watch UFC forgot about that one. Ive never had a prob with AAS and pro sports as far i see it makes baseball/ football way better. If anyone thinks there is less usage today they are crazy id say usage is even higher today
