Aspirin to relieve a headache? What about a cortisone shot? Cortisone is a steroid. (Hmmm, maybe Kirk Gibson ought to give back that 1988 HR, huh?) What about the steroids that asthmatics regularly take? Illegal amphetamines that players have acknowledged taking for decades? What about contact lenses or modern eye surgey which can improve eyesight to the point of being BETTER than 20/20?
Are "steroids" really performance enhancers? If that were the case, then how come most of the players caught suck? If they enhanced performance... wouldn't they be all-stars?
OR, are they recovery enhancers... which allow someone to recover from muscle stress more quickly?
OR are they work out enhancers? Since you recover more quickly you can work out more often.
Steroids do not BUILD muscle... you can't just inject steroids and become muscle bound.
So, take all you want... you STILL have to do the actual work to get better. They won't do it for you.
Does any of this matter?
