Y’all didn’t do your research on this clearly. Steroids were known about all throughout the 90’s but they were keeping it quiet because it was the only thing saving views after the player strike. It wasn’t until 2003 that they started testing for them and even then the punishment was a joke and still influenced players to keep using. It want until the mid to late 2000s that the punishment became a 50 game suspension for your first offense and a lifetime ban for your third
Watching McGwire walk out of the dugout holding his bat that looked like a drum stick and then cranking out HR after HR was so amazing… He has always been my favorite MLB player since he was with the A's. Him vs Sosa was one of the most entertaining moments in sports history alongside MJ and the Bulls.

Reagan was also the reason drugs got so bad. He authorized drug smuggling to pay for Contra weapons.
It wasn’t the 70s bc the east german track records exist.
