Think about way society was constructed back in the day.

Mark McGwire had a BIG canister of Creatine in his locker. Visible to everyone, and something he never hid.

Why would he? It was LEGAL. The fact that andro-creatine is a precursor to anabolic steroids wasn't lost on anyone.

Every player in the major leagues could have had this same canister of this same - legal - substance, and used it, and became huge. Hell..a lot of them did. *cough*pujols*cough.
