Steroid scandal doesn't shock amateur players

"Thirty, 40 years from now, they'll talk about steroids."

Hopefully, it won't be because they will have their place in the dugout alongside sunflower seeds and gatorade.

The reason amateur players aren't shocked is because so many players take them!!! The problem with the major leaguers is just the tip of the iceberg.There are many high school and college players that are taking steroids.I hope that we will soon have testing at all levels,both off season and during the season to
keep the game clean.

Why would amateurs be shocked. They're around the sport, training etc. all the time.

They can recognize that NO one blows up to barry bonds' size at his age and in such a short time by using flax seed oil and arthritis cream.

They know how this all works, just as bonds does. And btw, I think it does even bonds a disservice to believe he was so ignorant that he really thought he was taking flax seed oil or that anything but steroids was providing him with the results he was obtaining from his workouts. The man's been working out his whole life and all of a sudden flax seed oil turns him into the hulk
