fathom Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 JPN, I think it's really going to be fascinating to see former/active major leaguers possibly start dropping dead in their late 30s/early 40s due to steroid-related health issues (like wrestlers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I would think that most of the late 90s/early 00s 'roiders are over 40 by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also bet a the % of wrestlers on the juice + massive other drugs is much higher than a pro sports guy. You think guys like Bonds, Sosa, and Clemens were downing pain pills like skittles while juicing?
