Maybe this explains why ARod doesn't really look like a steroid user:
"Primobolan is known by the chemical name methenolone. It is taken orally or through injection and is considered 'safe' because it has relatively few side effects. It is also considered one of the most expensive steroids. It improves strength and maintains lean muscle without developing excess bulk."
ARod's body has changed since 1996. Everybody's body has changed since 1996, especially if you're continually hitting the gym. Personally, I don't perceive any kind of freakish change.
Was ARod still using steroids in 2007 when he hit 54 HRs?
Is it possible he was still using in 2007?
I don't see how it's possible, but he already fooled me.
It's not a small point. If he completely collapses and becomes Edgardo Alfonzo or Miguel Tejada or Brady Anderson, then his career will be dismissed. If he cranks out 40/120 this year when he's (presumably) clean, then his reputation can certainly be salvaged.
My personal nightmare is not the damage to ARod's reputation or MLB's reputation. My personal nightmare is a 3B making $27.5M while hitting 14 HRs.

A couple ESPN articles show A-Rods stats from 2002, 2003, and 2004 - and they appear to show a decline. I guess they're trying to insinuate that maybe he stopped using steroids so his numbers are on the decline. They fail to show his numbers going up and down, including 54 HRs.
I really hope A-Rod comes out and says, "You know what, test me every day motherfuckers." Then he goes out and hits 50/140.
