A Picture Speaks a Thousand Cycles of Anabolics

Thanks to Vito, here's a great link with some curious shots of scrawny baseball greats before and after emerging from the steroid phone booth as supermen.

You decide.

If Sheffield struggles in 2005 (let's say .250 with 10 homers at the all-star break), then gets hurt, and is out for the year, will the Yanks look to get out of that 3rd contract year?

Also, shouldn't the media be hitting Sheff, Bonds and company harder than Giambi. Hell, at least Giambi is coming clean now - and not lying to a federal grand jury.

Furthermore, if you're Sheffield, wouldn't you sue Barry Bonds and his trainer? I mean, here you are, a multi-million dollar world class athlete, perennial MVP contender, self-admittedly "drug-free" your whole life, and then your buddy gives you some flaxseed oil and it turns out to be an illegal substance, one that could threaten your career and ultimately your life. Wouldn't you think he'd be really pissed off? Wouldn't you pursue a lawsuit if you were in his shoes? Sheff, what gives?
