Not everyone would have said anything back then. Its a lot different now that the science GUYS plead no contest to fixing cocktails which did not show up in urine test. This can be traced back to 1960s Olympic East German women. Yeah people noticed the ACNE, but no one did anything about the extra doses of test-toss-terr-ones that Helga gained "pumping" iron.
Back in the 1980s, some top prospect (not Daryl Strawberry) from FL was in the SI mag and it explicitly stated the kid was juicing on Andro, creatin and other GNC supplements (wasn't Mark McGuire either). A lot of kids playing all kinds of HS sports were juiced in the 80's. None of it is sold in GNC today.
Recently some 16 year old kid with a 96mph rising fastball made the news about leaving high school for JC 2 years early. I guess he's a natural. I think his dad may have been "juiced" the night of pro-creation. Yeah that explains it {satire}.
More OBTW, the naturals with that kind of talent may be about 1 in 300 million 18 year old kids. I still believe 2 of these creatures can throw a 100+ mph, wet seam, rough raised leather {friction}cut groove, rising fastball with a pronounced flat spot. If that ain't true, why does MLB toss 'em out after every 6 tosses? Explain the physics!
