Baseball is back. And it seems to me that the steroid issue has simmered a little. At least from a publicity perspective, since investigations are still ongoing.
Some players have gotten noticeably smaller since the crackdown. But the question is, how does a player like Barry Bonds go from looking like this to this? Bonds is the steroid whipping boy, but Mark McGwire's transformation was even more dramatic. Here he is when he first started his pro career, and here he is after, um, milk bulked him up. I know people can get larger through their workout, but these two (among others) seemed to change altogether. Here's what our Chief Fitness Pro Raphael Calzadilla thinks about the burden Bonds is enduring:

"The bottom line is that someone ratted out Bonds. You'd never guess Bonds was on steroids like a bodybuilder... but when the homers increase a lot of people start to get jealous. My suspicion is that he was ratted out. In football, guys just accept it as part of the game, so it's OK. In baseball there are still a lot of guys who don't use the stuff - so they get pissed off and tell."So MLB has a few (or a lot) of tattle tales?
