Some steroids are strickly anti-inflammitories while others increase hormone production such as testosterone. Hitler was a big fan of research on steroids as was the Russians in their quest to build up their militaries. <BR/><BR/>As an athlete in my younger days I know all about steroids and have known quite a few people who have used them.David Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06847923057333798936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461011.post-76586408384431220242007-11-16T20:18:00.000-05:002007-11-16T20:18:00.000-05:00I don't understand why a congressional hearing on ...I don't understand why a congressional hearing on the use of steroids is legal anyway.

McGwire had just as many good years left in his bat as Bonds, but decided that once the steroid issue became big enough to "slither" away. Bonds on the other hand was defiant and from the Clinton school of "Deny, Deny, Deny", even if you are caught.
