that's what i was thinking. me personally, i could care less if he did or didn't. He is an entertainer and i enjoyed watching him hit bombs as did the entire fan base that paid their money to go and see him when he came to their town.

Also, like I've said for years. You can use steroids all you want, but it wont help you hit the ball any better. It takes amazing hand eye coordination to be able to hit something that is traveling 95mph in which you have less than half a second to make up your mind if you will or wont swing.

It was like that snow border kid in the winter olympics a few years back that got his gold medal taken away for testing positive for weed...WEED, I mean come on, dude scores a gold medal while toking a doob, I'd give that mother fucker 10 gold medals for that.

A fan on the radio said that about mcguire too, the steroids may have given him mor epower but he still had the skill to hit a baseball.

While the weed didn't give any advantage to the boarder, the roids did give an advantage to McGwire (or he wouldn't have taken it).

Yeah, some nobody taking roids isn't going to help him become a hitter if he wasn't already one before, but McGwire already knew how to hit, and already had the hand-eye coordination, all he wanted was more power.

Every power hitter from that era (except Griffey) was linked to roids in some form or another.
MLB turned a blind eye to it, as long as stadiums were full. Guys like McGwire and Sosa put baseball back on the map in '98, and nobody gave a damn then.

Chicks dig the long ball.

Politicians are the only people who cheat more than atheletes.

How come Phelps' medals weren't taken away then?

Double standard.

Exactly, they need something to remove the focus from themselves.

Would have been too much of an uproar in the media/public. They figured taking it away from a snowboarder wouldn't get noticed.
