Yes, I believe (and I'm going out on a limb) that 75%-85% of athletes use some type of steroid, whether it be a muscle regaining enhancer, training rejuvenation, or whatever, but they have steroids out now that are totally hidden from a bunch of different scans.

If you don't believe that your favorite athletes use steroids look at two cases you probably haven't heard of. Nolan Ryan pitching a 99 M.P.H. fastball at age 44. Terrell Owens healing from a severe foot fracture in nine weeks. Were the doctors astonished. Yes but what else can be the reason for these two miraculous achievements.
