Pictures are going to prove steroid use? I guess if someone showed a picture of me at 18 years old and a picture of me now in my early 30s, I guess I would be on steroids. Considering that I have gained over 30 pounds since I graduated from HS that must make me a steroid user.

Were you linked directly to a convicted steroid manufacturer who said you were supplied with his performance enhancers?
Was your personal trainer just convicted of distributing THG and steroids to his clients?
Are you a professional athlete that gained forty pounds of muscle when others are not?
Do you have any nagging injures associated with abnormally fast muscle growth?

If you can answer "yes" to any of these questions then you are correct. All is forgiven.

Why not get pictures of Michael Jordan over the same ages or Charles Barkley. I must be missing something because most people put on some weight as they age. I do not see many people that stay the exact same weight at 45 as they did when they were 18.

Yes, you are missing something - putting on weight and packing on muscle mass are not the same thing. Most professional baseball players are done when reach thirty eight years of age. Their bodies can't keep up with the pace - look at Frank Thomas and Jeff Bagwell. Human physiology doesn't normally permit excessive muscle growth in this age group.

Unadulterated photographs convict people of crimes and serve as legacies - they are very powerful tools. Grab a Bonds rookie card and last year's. Check the size of his head - see any similarities between his and the 'roid boys of the WWF.

Lastly, I didn't tell anyone that they should be offended by Coach Joe Paterno's comments. I just found them frighteningly out of step with contemporary collegiate athletics. Your skin color has nothing to do with how fast you are. Implying that it does is a slap in the face to all of the hours of training that athletes go through. If you thought they were okay, then I know why people like him can say what they want. I am not an African American and I was horrified by his lack of discretion.
