if thats true, then why didnt he make huge leaps and bounds when he first turned pro? or are we to believe that he never touched roids untill the offseason between 97 and 98? (his first "big leap")
ronnie moved pretty slowly and gradually up in weight throughout the years. in 98 his roundness and condition greatly improved. in 2003 he jumped up about 20lbs in weight. otherwise every year he was slowly putting on the pounds.
assuming that 98/03 were due to gh/insulin... he was always on roids
