IWS #171 Admits Steroid Use

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s widely revered and most truly beloved founding fathers.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Yes, that word "product" here in the States means that they will be multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins.

Collaboration of any kind is strictly forbidden. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants. Just don't be a douchebag.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and utterly inarguable, no exceptions.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "Did the Patriots product the most putrid effort in the first round of the playoffs" and you and four others respond "Absolutely" then you each get five points, period, even if the correct answer is indisputably the Bengals.

Note - "steroid" is used in the following six questions as a catch-all term for any illegal performance enhancing drug.


The Questions:
1.) Name the most surprising steroid user of the last 30 years.
2.) Name the next steroid-linked baseball player to be admitted into the Hall of Fame.
3.) What percentage of current NFL players do you believe have used steroids at some point during their career?
4.) The cream or the clear?
5.) In what sport do steroids provide the least value?
6.) What college or pro coach do you suspect might be sneaking steroids on the side?


I'll look to total the results sometime early next week.

Small edit request: could you edit the IWS#169 winners as being IWS#169 winners instead of IWS#170 winners (now it looks like you won in a three win tie, together with the 170 hosts)? Chances are there are other errors out there, but it would be sad if the credits lost credibility.

This one's really hard. If I score more than 1 I'll be pleased.

Why? Does having your name wrong make you nervous?

It's not like you win more than once every hundred outings. You're not due for some time.

I'm just pointing that out as I try to end a 100 IWS dry streak.

Well, I was pointing out an error. Your suggestion is like changing the Super Bowl XVIII winners from Los Angeles Raiders to Oakland Raiders.

With this one being baseball themed, I think last place isn't going to be yours.

As of now, I'm planning on running totals late Tuesday night. Would love to have some more entries before that time.
