Andy Petitte took steroids? What was he before he took them, a woman?

Alot of these guys are still active players, Tejada was just apart of that big trade, him for 5 other players... and it looks like alot of them were at the end of their careers (either by age or injury) when they started juicin.

And those are the guys linked to one dealer... just the tip of the iceburg. I wonder what will come of it all.

Also, most (if not all) of them can be linked to new york...

I think it is just sad...
a) they think they needed to do it
b) the league knew and did nothing

[teog]

Its pathetic that anyone in a players capacity to have to take steriods. These guys make great money and are role models for so many of the youth.

Am I the only one that doesn't care? So they took steriods, big deal.

Nope... I don't care either. In fact, there's a part of me that would like to see some professional sports played without any of those regulations. I'd like to see some genetically modified, jacked up, bionic super athletes with titanium bone replacements and steroid-enhanced supplimental muscle grafts compete against each other. Like you wouldn't watch a game where someone could hit a 172 mph fastball halfway to the moon, or drop a 478 lb. wide receiver who can run the 50 in 2.6 seconds.

That's just good entertainment.

I really don't care either. I thought it odd that Andy Petitte's name showed up on the list. He's not exactly an over-bearing physical specimen. It was kind of like hearing that Bob Denver had to take steroids to play Gilligan.

[wheelman]

Not all steriods are taken to 'beef up' some are taken to speed up muscle repair / injuries.

[mm_dm]

Yes, and the nasal spray I use to combat allergies has a steroid in it as well. But, in professional sports I doubt that healing injuries is the first concern.

Nope, I don't care either. I'm more impressed they can hit that ball moving at 80mph on the juice or not.
