What is interesting is that athletes had been using steroids at least since the 40s, but there were still people arguing that they were not effective and athletes were mainly benefiting from a placebo effect until the 80s. That sounds familiar.
There were morons in positions of great influence, well into the 2000's --like Mike Francesa on WFAN, for example-- telling the world that people like Barry Bonds either weren't taking steroids, or if they were it didn't help.
The stupidity is mind-boggling.
