decanoate is fast acting?
Yeah, that's what I thought. Probably not the most reliable article in the end.
You train harder, longer and recover faster. The more you train the better you get..simple.
Steroids are really "training" enhancers not "performance" enhancers. You don't take steroids before the big game to give you an edge. You take steroids to enhance your training goals. Bond was the best player of his generation. Even if he retired in 1998 his career would still be hall of fame. My opinion is that the steroids extended his career another five years. He was able to train like a 25 year old. The combination of a highly trained body and a keen mind with 15 years experience was no match for what ever pitching he has faced. The article does not mention that Bond switched bats in 1998 from ash to a harder type of wood ( oak, pine? ).The greater density of the bat added distance to the batted balls. Most players followed suit. I not sure why MLB plays down this change. It would seem like a good counter to the juice stories. Maybe they think it lends less credibility to the statistics.
You train harder to perform better. Steriods can make a ****ty athlete better, but steroids can not give you heart or love for the game to train your ass off.
Steroids were on the banned list, andro and all the ph's were not. The testing process was such joke that everyone never got tested and therefore it wasn't such a big deal.
Bingo.
I read that Bonds injects the HGH of a 4' 10" circus performer to shrink the actual size of his strike zone, I checked and the numbers over the last 5 years back it up...his 1,000 or so bases on balls could only have been acomplished through voodoo!!!
I agree with the first part, but disagree with the second. I was a college athlete. I never did steroids then, have subsequently tried a ton.
Cheque Drops are a nice little steroid used to increase aggression and mental focus. It can be hepatoxic if abused. You can go from

The dude is an ignorant a$$hole with an ego the size of the stadium. He did juice so I dont know what you're talking about "IF he used..."
:rofl:
Most of the stories that are reported in the world of sports are more important to the writers and reporting media, than anyone else. I guess they need to make a living, so I understand, but it is rare to hear a sportsfan say "... Gee, I really used to like that Barry Bonds,...he's so nice and lately he's a really nice guy who hits homeruns every 7.2 at bats, but...if he's doin that steroid stuff,... he should be eaten by cancerous rats!!!, does he think he's better than everyone else? jock *******!
I am soooo happy.
If Bonds was not such an arrogant ass with everyone I could feel some sympathy for him. However, since his attitude has always been "F You!" and constantly lying about his steriods use, I hope they wipe all his stats away and relegate him to the dustbin on bsaeball history. Ban him for life!!!!:woohoo:
That's not at all true. Sure, we could look at all of his homeruns over the past few years that landed in the first 10 or so rows, and say, "warning track ball." To me, that isn't even the biggest area where steroids helped him. He went through a MAJOR surge when most players his age begin to severly fall off. It helped him with endurance and longevity more than anything. He could go stronger, harder, and a LOT longer than most players would be, let alone players his age. You can't argue his endurance and performance were improved tremendously because of the roids. It isn't so much, "the roids sent that ball from the warning track to the seats," as it is, "the roids kept him at a peak performance longer through the season and through each game, and allowed him to make use of his amazing athletic ability far more often and longer than a normal player, let alone a player his age. Not only did he gain tremendous strength, he was allowed to maximize his potential more than a normal player."
The most incredulous thing that has happened in this story line is that all the information about Bonds and Giambi has come from "leaked" Grand Jury testimony. The fact that sealed testimony from a legal documents can be obtained by the press is a major undermining of the integrity of the whole legal system!...There has been little or no metion of this fact . It only represents the basic concepts of freedom in the United States. It is a constitutional right that a person can testify under oath and not be subject to retaliation. It is almost as important as MLB's historic statistical accumilations...almost.Actually some fans ARE saying stuff not far from that about him and every high profile AAS using player. I was flippin channels the other day and on the sports segment of one of the network news shows they had clips of Bonds and in the backround they were playing quotes from various baseball fans that must have been recorded from a telephone call. I found their perspectives to be nieve and nonsensical personally, but it shows that at least a few fans are taking it personally. Their taking it harder than the guys in charge of deciding how the record books will handle his stats. The fans that called in were ruthlessly harsh and unreasonable IMO in the way they thought he should be dealt with. They want every statistic he ever put up in his career wiped from the record, they want him black balled from possible hall of fame status. Considering that technically it's all based on hearsay and suspicion (no matter how believable it is), and that alot of other players (not just the ones putting up stellar #'s) were using too, and the fact that he was hall of fame material before he ever got huge and broke the record......theese particular fan's assesment's seem outrageous and asinine to me.
Just leagalize it allready! For crying out loud, stop the madness and legalize it damn it!
Sorry, had to get that off my chest
