If we want to know who did steroids wait 10-15 years and see who is still alive.

OMG Kirby Puckett did Roids.

We don't really know if he did or not (but I highly doubt he did). However, there are plenty of former atheletes who have admitted to using steroids and who are now suffering serious health issues as a result. For instance, Ken Caminiti attributed his health issues to his years of steroid abuse, and then dropped dead a few years ago.

That being said, from now on every time a former star athlete dies at a young age, the question of whether his death was related to steroids will come up. Players like Bonds who have huge success while on steroids have placed every successful athlete from here on in under suspicion. The tragedy is that players who play by the rules, are superbly talented, work out like crazy, and live healthy lifestyles will be painted with the same brush as players like Bonds.
