Okay, let's let Mark's statement speak for itself: ""I remember trying steroids very briefly in the 1989-1990 offseason and then after I was injured in 1993, I used steroids again," McGwire said in his statement. "I used them on occasion throughout the '90s, including during the 1998 season.""

Now do you understand? He used steroids after they were made illegal without prescription under the laws of this land and after MLB prohibited their use completely.

How were they illegal? Baseball made them illegal? Or the law made them illegal?

Asked and answered.

And if steroids are illegal,

If? IF?????

why do people that have many diseases and conditions take steroids? I guess they are illegal to take there as well? People that have asthma and other muscle conditions can take and do take steroids. But hey, they are illegal right?

Oh, my God. You seriously don't know the difference between anabolic, androgenic and cortico steroids.

And since Baseball (unlike Football) had a policy against these drugs, then I would agree that they were illegal to take as a baseball player. But they were not illegal according to the rules

Yes they were. Even McGwire knew that. What keeps you from understanding that?
