Here's my question though. How much bad side effects exist with this stuff these days? I heard it shrivel your Junk & shit along with other serious organ damage. Is it fair for a player who wants no Johnson Damage compete with another who may be willing to trade a few inches for 35lbs of extra muscle? (Except the muscle between the legs)
It's mostly because it ruins your liver, kidney, and heart. Those side effects are very real. I had a patient who was a bodybuilder who had to get a heart transplant because he blew out his heart using steroids.

To me, from a baseball standpoint the issue is do you want to sacrifice years off of your life for millions of dollars which may set your family up for their life?

For a lot of baseball players it wasn't about adding muscle. It was about aiding recovery which is needed because a 162+ game baseball season is absolutely brutal.
