What if you were a fringe athlete in a sport with lax drug policies (football, baseball), would you do it? Would you roid to go from average salary to 5MM a year, or even better? Would you do it if you were in a contract year in baseball (See: everyone)? Would you do it but avoid breaking records and drawing attention to yourself, or would you do it specifically for records to fall? Would you take hormones instead of roiding? What about over the counter stuff that isn't banned yet but probably should? What about weird **** like creams and clears? Would you roid to stay in the game longer?

For me, a 5 m/yr salary would be enough incentive. Wonder where the cut off is tho, not sure if id do it for 500k-1m/yr.

I would take whatever allowed me to post the sickest stats and get paid the most $ with minimal probability of getting caught. I think it's a pretty easy decision.

Snap call.

If I'm some 26 year old dude slugging away in AAA ball, there's no way I don't look for some way to get to the show and get one contract so I'm set for life.

I'd be pretty surprised if your average AAA slugger wasnt already on roids, tbh. They seem so ubiquitous.

Yes, I think the money would be sufficient reward to entice me to take whatever slight risk there was from taking roidz to get to the Show.

Yes, and if asked, I think most athletes would say the same before you even finished the question.

if i'm on the brink of getting into the big leagues and i'm clean: absolutely in a heart beat

if im in the big leagues, maybe minimum salary and would go up to 5mil: absolutely

if im in the big leagues, around 5 mil looking to go up: probably not

Steroids and major league salary vs. realizing I have a high school diploma and a few years of work experience relevant to nothing other than pro ball? Yes by a landslide.

would be silly not to but if u probably already have to be at least triple A level. if u are struggling at A ball, i doubt roids are gonna help you too much.

Which leaves me...on a list of suspended players and, at worst, in my current job, and posting on 2p2 SE?

Not close to that high.
