JR, I am not talking about illegal as it relates to the law. Steroids were not a banned substance for MLB and there was no testing for such a drug. The NFL bans all kinds of substances that are legal. The NFL has had a steroids ban since the 80s at least. Mark McGwire was using Androstenedione which could be bought at any GNC at that in the 90s (I am a Cardinal fan). It was a legal supplement that the NFL and other sports organizations long banned. MLB did not see this as a problem. Amphetamines and uppers have been apart of baseball for 50 years and just last year these were outlawed by Major League Baseball. At that time I was discussing with several people about what to take for work out purposes. I had even discussed with a friend about steroids and their affects along with other supplements like Creatine.

Peace
