I'm sure the 'roids had worn him down but the coke is probably what did him in.
It is sad that we put these men on pedastols and when they retire moreoften then not they are left forgotten outside of the spotlight. That fall can be the worst and hardest adjustment they make in life.
I'd rather have a 10 year career as a good player that noone outside of my team's city knew me than to have a stellar career where all the fans know me, expect me to play like a superstar, and if I can't expect me to retire, call me a bum and then forget me as fast as they found me.
