I don't care what someone puts in there body to play the game of slow pitch softball. I would actually recommend testosterone use for anyone who does it properly under the supervision of a doctor. As far as some players "juicing out of their minds", yes it 100% happens at EVERY level of play. Can you point out some guys that are most likely on them, absolutely. But here is the thing, just because someone is massive and cut up doesn't mean they are taking steroids. And vice versa, just because someone isn't muscular and strong doesn't mean they aren't taking steroids. Talent is talent PERIOD.
As far as the shaved/doctored bats go. Yes it happens at every level of play as well. To what degree, I honestly don't think anyone will ever know. Do I agree with them? If they are actually testing bats, I don't care what you swing as long as it passes. If people really have a problem with it and honestly feel someone is taking advantage, call time, ask to protest the bat and it can be rechecked I believe. The problem with shaved/doctored bats isn't in the Conference, it lies in the lower levels where they don't test bats. And the bat doctors will always find a way to beat the system, it is their job to do that. And anywhere they test bats and then give the bat back to you when it passes for you to keep is the most ridiculous thing to do. You can go hit stadiums, have the bat rolled in the parking lot, hell I've even heard of guys shaving them after they get tested. This is why there isn't really an issue in the Conference because they keep your bats until you are out of the tournament so you can't mess with them. And TIM, before you come back with the "at Disney when such and such had access to the room", provide PROOF and FACTS or don't bother chiming in about assumptions and hearsay.
**This is just my opinion**
