If this is the case, then I wouldn't be surprised at all if the 'roids affected the tumor.

I am unclear on what you and others define as "steroid abuse". Not in the legal sense, rather the scientific sense. All of the symptoms are results of steroid abuse. I really believe there is a way to use them without abusing them. Note:

"Doses taken by abusers can be up to 100 times greater than doses used for treating medical conditions!"

I'd love to see the following:

1. The true doseage for a medical use
2. The true doseage Jose Canseco used
3. The true doseage Lyle Alzado used
4. The true doseage that an "abuser" used

..... of any given steroid that all of the above use(d). I'm VERY curious. ATM I'm flipping through the pages of "Juiced" looking to see if he mentions any doseage amounts.

I guess I can't argue with someone who works at a drug rehab, but I honestly think that you can use 'roids without ABusing them.
You can use any drug without abusing it. I just have problems with the players because I truly believe they have abused them and they are illegal.

If they feel the risks are worth it....it's their bodies. However, as with any illegal drug they should face the same penalties that Heroin, Cocaine and Meth addicts face. Instead of just slaps on the wrist. They truly are sending out the wrong message and MLB is allowing them to with their slaps on the wrist.
