The question is who would want to hire a doctor that would rat you out and bring bad press for your team?

double post.

Who cares? Every great athlete I have ever seen, and every not so great athlete I have ever seen for that matter, uses at least one of these drugs. I wish everyone would just admit it, and then we can make it legal again and the sports I enjoy watching can not have this garbage going on.

I am fine with doping, who really cares? The product was better since 1997 than it ever was. And they needed it because of the striker and stuff. To me, they did nothing wrong. If everyone, all at once, just said, "We all did it" then there would be no issue. There should be no issue right now.

I believe Jordan used steroids. And you know what, I do not care because I believe every basketball player I watched was on steroids. It is not so bad. Let it be in sports so I can watch the best possible product.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Regardless, you need to understand two things;

First, if you make an accusation like "Jordan used steroids", you need to site your source, else we're gonna have lots of little kids running around saying that Jordan used steroids, which is a very serious (though baseless) accusation.

Second, steroid use is wrong on two levels. Which are A) It gives them a competitive advantage against those they play against today, and B) It gives them a competitive advantage when they go up against some of the most sacred records in professional sports. It seriously takes away from the accomplishments of the sports. There's a reason why it's shameful and wrong, you know.

And no, not everybody uses them. If everyone actually did, we wouldn't have AS MUCH of a problem. However, steroids have down sides. They act as a short circuit to your body. Even though you get a boost now, you're gonna pay for it when your balls are the size of marbles and your muscles have torn so many times that a roll of duct tape couldn't save you.

So how can you be ok with this? Ok with role models teaching kids that sacrificing your healthy future for a couple extra strikeouts now is ok? How can you be ok with today's athletes spitting on the game and breaking records that should still be standing (a la Hank Aaron)?

Does anyone besides me think it's really freaking weird to keep old syringes around for 8 years, um, "just in case"?

 well, it's a blackmailer's dream, if I am as sneaky as him, Id do it as well

He will get PAID to get his story published. Shoot ... I'd do it too.

 Have you ever heard of a comedian named Daniel Tosh?

 In one of his jokes he says, I wish we would just make all professional athletes use steriods. I want the best athletes money can by. I want my athletes like my video games, in HD. Who cares if you die at 40? You hate life after sports anyway, I'm doing you a favor.

 I'm not a huge Jordan fan, but saying he juiced like that is pretty low. It might be hard for your to believe, but there are plenty of athletes that have both the common sense, and the dignity, to not use steroids.

 Well, it may not have been illegal in baseball at the time, but it's not like it was legal to use steroids like that in America.

As others have said, they're looking to see if he lied to them about his use. Then there is also the fact, whether baseball had banned them or not, that everyone with any sense would know he's a fraud. He wants eveyone to think he did it all with hard work and determination, but it certainly looks like he added some other things into the mix.
