Keep in mind that steroids saved baseball. Would anyone care if no one was jacking homers? Does takin' steroids make you have a better reaction speed when hitting a 90 mph fastball?
Steroids are only a bad influence on kids because it's unsafe for kids to take them. Fully grown, healthy adults that have regulated steroid use are healthy and fine. Massive liver damage has yet to be proven in all cases. I've read numerous studies that say "roid-rage" doesn't exist. Scientists that have said it does 20 years ago have now changed their minds and said so in studies but the media doesn't want people to know that. Everyone needs to watch

I don't see what the big deal is with performance enhancing drugs.

YOu are all idiots if your saying that using PEDs is a good thing. Its a completely un-fair for the players that morally choose not to do it. It changes the game of baseball dramatically because it makes teams like the Rockies, whose players dont take PED's, loose to teams like the 21-8 Dodgers who have Manny juiced up hitting .349 with 6 homers and 20 RBI's. If PEDs were allowed then baseball games would be a fucking home run derby.

living in LA, getting a medication for a personal issue....

cannabis? listening to bill plastske right now is almost upsetting, the way he is down right disrespecting manny for failing a drug test for a non performance enhancing drug after passing every one for the last 10 years? come on, no way he should be disrespected for this.

barry bonds cheated the game with drugs. manny is not cheating.

i love how its always about homeruns with steroids. you still need to have amazing hand eye co-ordination to hit a fucken 95mph fastball and doing a few cycles of roids isnt going to give you that.

in a nutshell, Penguins are fucking gay. That's America's past time moron. If you want to see a gay sport go watch wrestling.

Moral of the story: It's just Manny being Manny.....and Roger, and Barry, and Mark, and AROD.......

that'd be fucking awesome. i'd fall asleep a lot less watching low scoring baseball games on tv.

And what if hockey players started using PEDs? Can you imagine if the players weighed 350+? They'd be fucking slaughtering each other....ripping slap shots that would shatter bones.

How about golf? 700 yard drives? fist fights on the green? sweeeeeeet

ultimate fighters with roid rage?!? holy shit watch out.

horse racing with drugged out mutant horses that run 200 mph...sign me up.

you get the idea.

I actually can't think of any reason why they shouldn't allow PEDs in professional sports. (aside from all of the bs that the media spits out) Its crazy enough that these guys get paid as much as they do for playing a god damned game...might as well at least make it as entertaining as possible.

he was taking estrogen pills prescribed by his doctor, which are often taken leading up to, during, and after a cycle of roids to help counter the crazy testosterone boost your body goes through. It's the smart way to do roids (if can consider roids "smart")

how about you enjoy good pitching, I love low scoring games. If you want roiders then create your own league, keep it out of the MLB.

Obviously its hard to hit a fucking 98mph fastball, but its been perfectly done with out PEDs, thats a true gift in my book

peds have no impact on one's ability to actually hit the ball.  they do not improve hand eye coordination.  its not like someone takes a magic pill and suddenly they're the MLB homerun champion. so the whole issue with it being this big deal doesn't make sense to me.

I agree, it has nothing to do with hitting the ball, it has to do with how far the ball will go after you hit it. In case your not aware, baseball is a game were if you hit the ball over the fence, you get a point. Does that make sense?

Ok, so it's really not about good pitching like you originally said. So what's the big deal? Because one guy can hit the ball farther than another guy?
