OK, riddle me this Batman. Who cares if they used steroids? If the standard is use what God gave you to play the game, then one could even say by hitting the weights, taking vitamins, etc is not "pure". Personally on my part, if they want to use and abuse - fine. Get your 15 min of glory and when your body waste away, don't come back crying and I hope you saved enough money for the doc. I am a bit at a lose why anyone cares about the steroid use other than there is a rule against it.

Open to hear the why's and why nots.

The only reason I can think of is my kids.

I sure as hell don't want them to think this is acceptable behavior to get to that 'next level'.

If ya have to play 6 years of JV ball cause your too small..... DO IT DAMNIT.
It isn't worth the alternative.

For me its one word- integrity. When this game was invented it was played hard nosed by guys using their god given talent and that was it. Granted roid's dont necessarily help you hit the ball but it does give guys an edge who are recovering faster. When you recover faster you play better, thus an unfair advantage

On my college baseball team we had two guys who we suspected of using roids. Both got injured and never played again.
