Sorry. But a puny 90 pounder with no talent for baseball can take steriods again and again, and not be a better ball player.

Steriods will not, by themselves, make anyone a homerun hitter. The Mitchell report is full of names of journeyman players who used steriods and received just enough of an edge to remain journeman players longer than they would have otherwise.

None of this is BS. It has all been documented. The better the player performed before steroids, the better he performed after steroids.

Only time will tell what other damage was done.

An exaggeration. People who bulk up with steriods lose size after quitting, but they don't become puny unless other factors are at work. Arnold Schwarzenegger, for example, has been off steriods for years. He is measurably smaller than before, but puny?
