"LOOK AT MY CHARTS," AND THEY
CHECKED THE CHARTS AND BACK IN
1986 HE WEIGHTED 220.
GARAGIOLA
I TALKED TO BARRY WEINBERG,
THE TRAINER, ABOUT IT AND HE'S GOT
THE WHOLE THING CHARTED. AND WHAT'S BEEN
BOTHERING JOSE IS HE SAID, "YOU KNOW
THOSE YOUNG KIDS, ESPECIALLY THOSE
IN MIAMI..." AND HE WORRIES ABOUT THAT

STERIODS. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
STRENGTH AND BODY MASS AND HE JUST WENT

While the announcers may have been duped, the casual viewer shouldn't have been. His jersey was stretched to mass capacity in attempts to contain his biceps and upper body mass. Clearly a juicer. Those poor kids in Miami.

Hindsight 20/20, we were all in awe at the time. Easy to say now that it was obvious, but how many times has the "modern weight training & conditioning nowadays" card been used in professional sports as a mask for steroid use. The bottom line is, if 50% or above of the general player population was using, then it unfortunately greatly diminishes the condemnation on any given player. Berkman should have used, just so that we don't have to see man-boobs!
