All of em.

[Rich]

All of em.

And your reasoning?

[Master]

No shock.

By the way, I can tell the difference between those who know what they are talking about and those who don't by those that assume atheletes only use steriods while playing their sport for an "edge". Most Roid users do cycles in the off-season, or before they ever go pro to gain muscle mass or size, then they only need to do "tune up" cycles every now and then, if ever. Steriods aren't cocaine. You don't need to keep using them to get results, some people do 2 cycles their whole life, gain 50 pounds of muscle, and do maintenance exercise to keep the mass.

I have never done anything like roids, but I have researched them a bunch. The number of pro atheletes that "USE" them and GH is probably low, but the number that have EVER USED them is enormous, many starting in High School. It is an epidemic and we will never be able to compete without them popping up. Many of the atheletes you know have at least dabbled in using them to get so big/strong.

Also, we will never know for sure who did and did not use. There are many atheletes who look roided out and aren't, and many who don't look it and have used a bunch. Mixed bag.

[anish]

who cares? professional athletes are so far beyond normal skill level. If the game is more entertaining to watch, give roids to all the players!

Maybe even add some robots too.

[sleeve]

Only if I absolutely have to. All I'm trying to say is that lots of athletes have done roids, and are doing them now. It's been a problem for decades and will continue as one until the leagues actually do something to curb the problem, which they likely won't do since player suspensions could easily cause fans to not support that player, or that team. Giambi is basically going to be a sacrifical lamb for the next little while, which will likely be sad to see.

Aren't you a pro wrestling fan?

[Jeremy]

Yes, but I figured that folks would just reply with the ignorant "wrestling isn't a sport, and wrestlers aren't athletes" response, so I went with my viewing habits of "true" sports.

anish, that mindset is the type of thing that has led to so many wrestlers suffering from permanent damage due to them, as they feel the need to please fans like that, who have a "damn your health, entertain me" attitude. They might be beyond normal skill level, but they're still human, and will suffer from the effects of steroids for their entire lives, if they abused them.
