Pharmacology is a component of training.

You could do all the drugs you wanted, and you still wouldnt run a 4.4 40, or be able to hit a 95 mph Fastball.

I disagree. With enough drugs pumped into your system and with complete deregulation, any reasonably conditioned athlete could shatter any current world record. And, bat speed is the key to hitting any thrown object - the more bat speed, the more HRs you get. The point is, how entertaining would it be to watch something like that, knowing that the athlete might literally physically explode in front of your eyes at the end of the meet? Again, cheering for the product of one drug company over another is not something that I would do nor countenance.
