There were players messing with roids in the 60s and 70s, Nobody would be able to know who has been on them and who hasnt. However, they didnt make the kind of money back then as they do now, so it wasnt as common place as it was lately. A-rod took the roids for 3 years, won most valuable player, Cashed in big with the Yankees, and weened off them... I would think poker players would respect this. When he did them there was no punishment for doing so. They were banned but no consequences... The investment of 3 years on roids, carefully controlled under the supervison of a doctor inorder to get a huge long term contract with the yankees?... good investment I think. I would have done the same.
