Hal Ziegler

With what Barry Bonds might accomplish this year, I think (the steroid allegations) taint it a little bit. How many would he have really hit now? It's not going to improve his hand-eye coordination, but would the baseball have gone that far if he wouldn't have been using steroids?

Juan Rincon

It's call forwarding on steroids.

Randy Kremlacek

To be honest, drugs and alcohol are bigger concerns right now than steroids. Those are huge problems with kids right now. So if you test for steroids, you have to test for all drugs. And if you test kids, then you also have to test coaches and teachers. You have to hold that standard across the board with everybody.

Frank Sandomenico

I think it's good. It puts us on a stage with every other sport that's major. People who know hockey know there really is not a place in hockey for steroids. I'm sure there are things you want to enhance your performance, but I think at the end of the day you'll see we are clean.

Jamie Mclennan

You will see Bill Cosby on steroids.

Russell Simmons

We talk about it, and we inform our kids about the risk of these steroids. Since I've been here, we've never even had an inkling of anything like that happen at our school personally. I'm sure they know kids who do them or can have access to them, but as far as the kids on our team ? no.

Rob Baughman

Ken Caminiti

We do have a problem in baseball, and using steroids is not respecting the game.

Jimmy Siegel

I'm for testing, for knocking out steroids.

Michael Morse

B-12 in no way shape or form has anything to do with anabolic steroids with the exception that something was sabotaged in the B-12. You can't use it as an excuse. Either they mixed [steroids] in it and did it themselves, or somebody sabotaged the B-12.

Gary Wadler

Here, we have a novel neural pathway mediating the regulatory actions of sex steroids.
