If the stats dont mean anything then why does it even matter if a player took steroids? If the stats dont tell you anything as to whether a player took them or not then what difference do steroids really make?
Steriods don't make you a better ball player nor will the help your stats directly, from my understand they allow you to recover fast and heal faster. For Roger it may have ment that instead of being the 6 or 7 inning pitcher he's been for the last few years that he might have started doing it earlier say between 32 to 35. Also he would have felt more fresh going out to the mound which could give him a boast pitching. For batter it allows them to train more often and get better musle tone and hit more HR.
