who played football. He insisted the steroids he used had no long term effects because of his rotation schedule. He would use for a number of days (or weeks) and then swear off them for the same period or shorter period. He was a smart guy, but not a good way to measure what he was saying. I think he was just hoping that his off times would have no long term effects.
Anyhow, speed was a big drug back in the old days and still holds some sway. I hear some of the old timers critical of Hank Aaron and others regarding speed.
