    No, cause I'm chickenshit and am scared of needles. #NoTats
    Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.

    Sorry. No. Essentially you took a spot from a better baseball player . You hurt MSU and you taught your future kids that cheating is somehow associated with winning.

    but hey, everybody does it.

    This is one of the problems with today's instant society, will do anything for a flash headline.
    Doing steroids for a year or even multiple years in reasonable doses is not going to have much if any long term health consequences. That's overblown. In smaller doses, which also work, they aren't going to have much negative side effect, not any more than your mom taking estrogen.

    It's not steroids.

    He's not wrong. The only reason steroids are taboo in the USA is because MLB got out of hand with it and Congress got involved. That and the fact that the media has no idea what they are talking about when they discuss a steroid story.

    Damn guys- does anybody not read?

    We had a small drug problem on the team that Cann had to clean up. Thats why a few guys didnt finish the season.

    None of this has been a PED issue

    Cheating to get an advantage is basically what freeze did. You know what... it paid off huge. Despite how this NCAA deal turns out, freeze made tons of money and is now a celebrity of sorts.

    Regardless of all that, if the moon was made of green cheese, would you eat it to become an MSU baseball player?

    I was going to argue with you on this.... until I re-read and you said reasonable doses. Problem is what is reasonable. I personally have witnessed multiple people that have heart failure secondary to steroid use. They have been through extensive surgeries (multiple) resulting in living tied to a machine in and out of the hospital which is a Ventricular Assit Device. This is a mechanical pump that is surgically placed which takes the place of the left ventricle. The lucky one later received a heart transplant. Each of these individuals would tell you they were taking "safe" doses.
