If I recall correctly Barry is about 38 to 40, and that much weight gain happens as one ages. I weighed 120 in high school, 124 when I went in the army, and now 190 at age 62. My metabolism slowed down with age, and now when I smell mash potatoes I go to bed at night and hear the fat glands grow.

True enough, but check out the dude's bulging 'roid head. I bet your hat size didn't go from a 6 7/8 to a 7 1/2 when you turned 40.

My Friends Son took Steroids while Lifting weights.

I read that Children born from a parent who took Steroids can have Clubbed Feet.

My Friends Sons First Daughter has Clubbed Feet.

The Whole Family wont talk about it.

Pretty Sad. We Worship Sports, and Poison ourselves to
Go Beyond what God intended.

I have a relative who used them in his 20's when he was BIG into body building. He developed prostate cancer at age 25.
He was also VERY aggressive when using them and was physically abusive to several girlfriends he had during those years.

I know another guy who used steriods in his 20's (body building). His kidneys shut down and he had a transplant.

Bonds' face is fatter now then it was when he was younger, but that probably could be said of most people.

Is there any proof that his hat size is larger now? If there is, that would end any doubt for me (not that I really have any that he used some form of steroids). I could go by the photos, but photos don't always tell the truth. Besides, it would probably make more sense to use a photo of him a year before he started really mashing the ball for the comparison instead of when he was twenty.

The bodybuilders were nuts with the amounts of steroids they used during the sixties and seventies. Many were using doses that would make sense if you were the size of a cow. I'm shocked that any of them are still alive now.

Actually, the bodybuilders today are using doses that weren't even considered in the '60's and '70's. Look at the size of some of the top competitors today - they put Arnold's size to shame.

Some of the top women bodybuilders are a little "masculine" as well.

I, for one, dont think this steroid thing is a big deal...

Lots of people resort to surgery to sculpt their bodies. We have breast implants and penis implants, and tummy tucks and face lifts and hair pieces. A lot of the best looking people are half plastic.

I have gotten email about substances to enlarge myself. I can get a prescription for a drug that will give me a 4 hour... Oh, never mind.

Why is it anyone's business what substances an athlete takes?
