it's interesting that HGH and anabolic steroids don't actually create natural ability, they promote cell growth (muscle mass) and thereby strength. they do not promote hand/eye coordination, speed and agility, all the best qualities to have as a baseball player. they do help players recover faster from injury, day to day wear and tear, so they are an advantage in that respect. they also can destroy your liver, among other things.

i would argue that bonds and mcguire had the natural ability to hit baseballs, but they may not have had the longevity to reach records without steroid/HGH use/abuse. i am more concerened about roger clemens using HGH and steroids because he had a much greater advantage from gaining strength and longevity as a pitcher - 300+ wins, 7 cy young awards, who knows?

it's still cheating, no matter what sport they are playing.
