ThaiHome Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 You might be right, but keep in mind Tiger was about 18-19 when he hit the big time and is now over 30 and he allegedly works out every day. I know when I hit early 30's I was a lot bigger then when I was 19. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVirgin Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Re Tiger and HGH. I know nothing, heard nothing and don't care to speculate. Even if he did use something illegal, they weren't testing back then so, oh well. I believe the majority of PGA pros are now agreeable to some form of random drug testing. Not that they think it's necessary - only for the credibility of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yo' date=' I've read some stories on the use of steroids in the baseball world and I just don't get it. Does one really need a drug to enhance a perfomance in .. baseball? Nothing against the sport, but IMO incomparable to the likes of swimming or cycling which are WAYYYYYYYY tougher and so yes, I'd understand (not condone) the use of drugs in order to compete at top level in a very physically demanding sport like that ... but baseball???? I just don't get it! Anybody? [/quote'] A minor league player makes, at most, about $75,000 a year. Most make waaay less. An league minimum wage major league baseball player makes over $300K. The highest paid player, Alex Rodriguez, makes about $27 million per year. And you wonder why someone would take a performance enhancing drug? Wow, had no idea this topic would generate so many replies during my absence Well, a lot's been said and the one thing that comes closest to being a 'valid excuse' is that it reduces the recovery time during injuries. What I wanted to stress out in my OP was that it seemed (to me) that a drug user and non-drug user in baseball are much closer top level-wise than say cycling. Didn't seem worth the risk, but what do they care if they get suspended for life after cashing in on millions. So yeah, money-wise I do understand the usage of drugs.
