True, but it begs the question how many people are in the majors because they used steroids? Really doesn't seem fair to me. Are Bonds' records even legit because of this? I don't think so. It is the definition of cheating.

I don't think this discredit's Bond's records.

Please don't misunderstand me - I am not endorsing steroids. But I would hasten to add that it is more than mere strength that makes Barry Bonds an extraordinary players. He also has amazing hand-eye coordination. Even when Bonds is off the juice, he is still a holy terror.

The sport where steroids is the most pronounced problem is in football, where each decade, players are larger, stronger, faster.

Insofar as Force Equals Mass Times Acceleration, this results in greater violence, and more injuries during the season. That is a problem the NFL needs to address, sooner rather than later. Too many players are being injured too early in the season.

well, these days you dont really have much non-steroid athletes competiting with steroid athletes. its steroid athletes vs steroid athletes to get into the majors. im not sure how far back steroid use has been so popular but id guess its been pretty big since the 80's.
