The Indiana Horse Racing Commission wants to ensure that the same fate does not befall horse racing. On Thursday, the commission approved regulations from the Racing Medication & Testing Consortium that limit the concentration of certain anabolic steroids in competition horses. Other opponents said the new rules would make it difficult for Indiana horses to race in other states, but commission members believe other states will follow Indiana’s lead and adopt similar provisions.

A Tufts physicist and baseball fan will publish an articl e in the upcoming issue of the American Journal of Physics detailing how a small increase in muscle mass could increase the amount of home runs a professional-baseball-level player would hit by over 50 percent. Roger Tobin, the studyâs author, calculated that a ‘roided-out size increase in muscle mass (10 percent) would allow a hitter to strike a baseball about 5 percent faster. But for professional baseball players playing in parks that were designed with normal human biological strength constraints in mind, that extra 4 percent means an âincrease home run production by anywhere from 50 percent to 100 percent," according to Tobin. Although it is not mentioned in the article, a 10% increase in muscle mass can reasonably be obtained through conventional training and nutrition in nearly any fit person with the build of a major-league slugger. So yeah maybe they found out too that they needed to increase their muscle mass they might hit a few more home runs and a few less fly balls in the outfield. read more
