Bill Romanowski - Steroids

Last night on 60 minutes Bill Romanowski got on cameraand discussed the steroid issue about himself in a candid interview!He said he got steroids from BALCO Steroid Kingpin VictorCONTE, and that CONTE put him on THG or what most people knowas "The Clear". It appeared that ROMO, spilled his guts, mainlybecause his new book came out last week and he is trying to sellcopies. He stated in the interview that CONTE told him "The Clear"was undetectable to NFL testing.

My question is this, if a substance is undetectable to NFL orMajor League Baseball testing because the NFL or Major LeagueBaseball testing are not up to the standards of the growing steroidmarkets, why would ROMO admit to using something that was notILLEGAL at the time? If the substance him or any other peopleused was not illegal, why admit to it? It's obvious now that "TheClear" is illegal in the NFL and Major League Baseball, so peoplewho may have been taking it, quit taking it, because of it's legalissues! I feel this is the case for the majority of Major LeagueBaseball Players, Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, Rafael Palmeiro,Juan Gonzales, Sammy Sosa, Mark Mcguire and many others. If atany time these people were taking a substance to help them physicallybut was not banned by Baseball, why would anyone fess up to itnow!

Another issue, 3-4 years ago when all these players were BUFFED,it really indeed helped baseball. Isn't baseball all about hittinghome runs? It was amazing watching the McGwire/Sosa home run battlea few years back, it brought the glory and attention back to MajorLeague Baseball, which at the time was a dying breed. Look atSOSA now, and the films of that homerun chase him and Mcgwirewere in. You can't tell me SOSA wasn't juiced at the time withsome type of steroid, as is the case of Mcgwire, who, now outof baseball admitted to using ROIDS! Sosa would be an idiot tostep forward and say he was using anything, just as Palmeiro,Bonds, or anyone should admit to it. If it wasn't illegal at thetime who cares? Should someone who see's better because of contactlenses, be banned from baseball for cheating?
