Default Why aren\'t pitchers getting drawn into the steroid net?

Steriods aren;t just to make guys hit mor ehome runs, they also give better arm strength for throwing harder, and can give better speed to speedsters, so the fact that got the most part only the homer hitters are getting scrutiny is ludicrous. If I'm a .230 hitter with 6 HR's, 40 RBI's and 7 SB's, and take roids and become a .265 hitter with 17 HR's, 70 RBI's, and 22 SB's, that is just as damaging to the game, and I think many lose sight of this.

It's kind of similar to when John McEnroe was accused,(probably falsely, but who knows) by his ex-wife of using steriods, and everyone said how ludicrous that was because he was never a power player, and they are missing the point. I'm a little guy, about 5'8" 150 lbs, but a guarantee you any physical activity I perform(which are now limited to lifting my son out of his crib...) will be enhanced by a proper steroid training regimen.

Anyways, even though I love Randy Johnson, I'd have to say he'd be a prime suspect on the pitcher side, and Clemens has been whispered about.

As an aside to all this, it's been addressed before, but I LOVE hearing about the weight training regimens that guys like McGwire have their defenders talking about. HELLO! STERIODS DO NOT PRECLUDE HEAVY TRAINING, AND WEIGHT TRAINING IS CRITICAL TO A STEROID TRAINING REGIMEN!
People act like you take steroids, sit at home, at then hit 40% more HR's, sheesh.
