One indication is injuries. Another is he had little T-Rex Arms.

Weak argument.

What does injuries have to do with it?

Are you saying steroids prevent injuries

HGH does help in injury recovery but don't think roids have any effect like that

HGH does help with recovery but they do not prevent injuries. As a matter of fact unless taken under very strict supervision it can actually make you more suspect to injuries .

And that comment goes 10X more for steroids

B4 roids i would say Bonds. He was the total package - offense , defense , and speed ..... but after roids he became bloated and lost his speed and defensive prowess.

Using the overall body of work i would give a slight edge to Griffey , but its such a close call that i certainly wouldn't debate it if someone disagreed.

Pittsburgh Pirates Bonds was better than anyone Ive seen. Griffey was a bit overrated IMO, and was fragile.

Bonds did not cheat in the late 90s, early 2000s since PED usage was not against the rules, not to mention that players have been using PEDs forever. All those pills that the players took in the 50s, 60s and 70s werent there just because.

If true, than these drugs should be encouraged, not banned. The reason for prohibition is because drugs are unhealthy. If they have health benefits, stopping people from using them is stupid
