Posted by TOM on 1/9/2007, 22:34:56, in reply to "Re: Mark McGwires biggest Fan " Anyway, I'm tired of typing LOL But just wanted to defend SW, but at the same time not putting you down Sue. Just be open to others' opinions. I know you're sick of people thinking Mac is on roids, but be aware that there are probably just as many people sick of those who don't believe he did them. I'm out!
Sue, I know you're a huge fan as much as I or anyone else could be (and believe me, I'm sure Mark and everyone else here appreciates your good attitude about him and this forum), but SW52 does have a right to state his opinion, and I didn't feel it was an attack on Mark. Yes, the andro may have been a part of the overall drama, but trust me when SW knows what he's talking about. It's not about SW---whether he used or not as a bodybuilder--but about Mac. And the bodybuilding industry is at the forefront of chemical research (even if it's not regulated)--much more than your average general doctor. I've mentioned before that I have been involved in the industry in the past to some extent, and it takes a trained eye to spot one on steroids. If I were a betting man, I'm so confident that Mark did steroids at some point in his life that I'd bet everything and the kitchen sink. Of course, it's easy for me to say since we can't prove it now. But it's as well an informed "guess" as one can make.... if you know anything about the supplement industry, you'd know that most of the legal stuff doesn't work--at all!
