Might it be that *gasp* pitchers are using performance enhancing drugs, too?

If they are, its not steroids. They bloat your muscles and strain your tendons and ligaments and it isnt really usefull to pitchers

Fact is, all the other major sports do a lot more and rigorous drug testing than does major league baseball.

Hey, how do you think Lyle Alzado and Ken Caminiti felt about dieing painful deaths at 40 from all the steroids they shot into themselves? Was it worth it ? (if it was , then thats really sad)

Okay. Ken Caminiti was a known cocaine user. Cocaine has been linked over and over again with cardiovascular arrythmias and MIs. And what happens? The media blames steroids. Why? I have no idea.

Especially given the fact that the New York Medical Examiner reported that “Caminiti died from “acute intoxication due to the combined effects of cocaine and opiates.”

But let’s blame steroids because that seems to be the trendy thing to do.

And Lyle Alzado died of brain cancer. Show me the first medical study linking steroids to brain cancer, and I’ll even begin to consider that argument.
