Didn't "The Babe" live on beer, hot dogs, and cigars. Athletes in his era did very little training as they relied on their natural talent to get them to the top. At least that is how I thought it worked back then.

I read an article recently that BALCO was working on a package of goodies that would make the athlete stronger, have better reflexes (be able to pull the trigger to hit that fast ball), train longer and harder, and recover from fatigue or injury more quickly. I think that there was a lot more involved in this chemistry than just making someone stronger. Obviously, the results will be much better when you begin with an elite athlete.
