Are Shawn Merriman's ligaments falling apart because of his steroid abuse?

Question

In other words, are we talking karma here?

Answer 1

Not likely.  Steroids would not weaken structural tissue.

The stuff he took were muscle-building capsules with testosterone-building agents (the junk in most diet pills).

However, after his surgery, the steroids can help him heal faster (although he would get suspended again!!!)

Answer 2

I am no doctor, but I have watched a lot of medical shows on TV, and I am pretty sure the human body isn't supposed to weigh 280 and run a 4-4 40. Think of it like taking your Hyundai up to 150 mph. It would be fun for a while, but it aint going to last.

Answer 3

they wouldn't weaken his structural tissue, but his muscles probably grew so fast his ligaments couldn't keep up.

Answer 4

That's very possible Mr Lumberg

Karma is a wonderful thing. I just hope it catches up with Shawn's teammates as well...mostly "Cry me a" Rivers.
