Look steriods ain't gonna help ya hit a round ball with a round bat. Its hand eye coordination. Sure you might hit the ball 475 feet instead of 425 feet. Late in careers is where it can play a huge part in keeping you strong enough to play.
Big Mac came into the Majors in 1986. He weighed 215 lbs. Skinny for a 6'5" man. He retired at 225 lbs. Bulkin up isn't anything new for ANY pro athelete or college athelete. You either do it and get better or get left behind. After their playing days are done, most don't look the normal form they had while playing.
McGwire hit 49 homers as a rookie and didn't play the last 2 games of the season so he could be there at the birth of his son. The dude had pretty consistant years with HR and was also prone to injuries which he proved once again at the end of his career. If roids were a big factor in Big Mac's throughout his career why didn't he use them in the 4 years he was hurt in Oakland or the last two in STL when roids were not a banned substance. The dude hit 49+ hrs 5 times in his career and his rookie season was one of them. Bonds had TWO....his 2000 and 2001 season before the steroid ban hit his ass.
Bonds production got better each year until 2001....and then fell off in HR totals. Before Bonds record year he had only hit more than 45 hrs twice in his 15 year career.
I don't blame McGwire for not talkin to baseball people. Selig is on a hunt. There is plenty of evidence against Bonds, but what stuff do they have on McGwire besides Canseco's crazy drunk,druggie ass. I'd stay out of the way until baseball gets done with there own mess.

It’s better to be hated for who you are, instead of loved for who you aren’t.
