1971-1978 – Tom House House said that he used steroids during his eight-year Major League career, though he wasn’t specific about which years. House estimated that “six or seven pitchers on every staff were fiddling with steroids or hGH” while he was playing. Tom House also says that steroids were rampant in the 1960’s. This comment represents the earliest date that steroids were implicated in baseball. While this time-frame seems reasonable, House was still in the minor leagues at that time. 1985 – Jose Canseco Canseco, in his book, Juiced, says he began using testosterone and Deca-Durabolin during workouts in…

Robert K. Adair’s The Physics of Baseball covers everything in baseball from the trajectory of a curveball to batter reaction time to fundamental bat vibrations. Adair provides an equation relating bat speed to player weight: V = k sqrt(M/(m+M/81)) Note: V is the velocity of the bat in miles per hour, m is the bat weight in pounds, M is the player’s weight in pounds, sqrt means square root and k is a constant, 10, in mph. In an article on ESPN.com by Patrick Huber, entitled 616*(*No Asterisk Required), he relates Adair’s formula to Bonds. According to Adair’s formula –…

What will happen when players like Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, and Sammy Sosa become eligible for the Hall of Fame? The Baseball Writers Association of America, who elect the members of the Hall, are questioning the achievements of Steroid Era players and their place in history. In the case of Barry Bonds, not only does it appear that he used steroids and other drugs to inflate his statistics, but years of lying about it to Major League Baseball, the fans, and the U.S. government have taken the damage to a new level. Most writers agree that Bonds would…

I started to go in for different sports when I was young and lived in Spain: my specialty was athletics m 5000, then I went on with swimming and dives, then due to a problem with my ear-drum I had to stop with them. So I tried to practice free climbing, but I could not stand to remain very thin and I stopped with it definitively. I went in for fighting sports and I have practiced kick boxing for 2 years. I premise I am very fond of these kind of sports and I have been practicing them nowadays too.…

Growth hormone bought on the black market can sustain many factors that can destroy the compound completely. One factor is HEAT. If Growth hormone is left in a car or house that is not cooled properly it can be rendered ineffective. Therefore the unknowing person attempting to save money and manage their own care can inadvertently waste their time and money. They have no idea who the person they are getting it from, got it from, how long they had it or how it was stored prior to delivery. Medications obtained on the black market go unsupervised and safety becomes…

An even better product will be developed for the fans. How many times have you sat in your living rooms on Monday night and switch back and forth between Nitro and RAw?…

Sport may well be the one arena where eloquence meets irreverence with beauteous and amusing results. The shock comment respectfully delivered. It is where being entertaining and educational shares a border with being smug and impertinent. Given that news in general is of a disheartening nature, earthquakes, murders etc., a standard of delivery representing decorum is undoubtedly appropriate. Etiquette and political correctness have their place. We are hardly likely to enjoy Dennis Miller adding colour comments to acts of child molestation or violence, but welcomed him into our homes to add spice to Monday Night Football. Sport, thankfully, encompasses a…
