Jay McGwire shares Mark's steroids secrets - SuperiorMuscle.com

CORONA, Calif. -- Jay McGwire could strut confidently into a baseball clubhouse and, at first blush, pass for his older brother. Mark, the enigmatic ex-slugger, is a tad taller, but the brothers sport a similar ruddy complexion, scruffy goatee and beefy build.

Back in the day, Mark and his look-alike were as close as brothers could be. They hung out, even shared a bachelor pad when Mark was swatting home runs for the Oakland A's in the mid-1990s. Jay, fresh off modest success as a competitive bodybuilder, says he put into place the doping and intense workout regimen that eventually transformed his then physically "broken-down" brother into a 260-pound behemoth and contributed to his late-career slugging surge.

Only now the brothers are estranged and, by most accounts, haven't spoken since 2002. And while Mark picks his words carefully as he settles in as hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals, Jay is more than eager to spill the family secrets about performance-enhancing drugs.

In "Mark and Me: Mark McGwire and the Truth Behind Baseball's Worst-Kept Secret," scheduled to hit the bookstores Monday, Jay McGwire reveals the dosage and array of performance-enhancing drugs he says Big Mac used during a three-year stretch beginning in 1994. The younger brother further suggests Mark didn't tell the whole story when, in a series of interviews since his admission last month, he adamantly denied a link between anabolic steroids and his late-career performance.

Brother says he injected McGwire

(02-26) 21:33 PST -- Barry Bonds' single-season home run record can be traced to ... Mark McGwire's little brother.

If Bonds became a steroid user because of McGwire (see "Game of Shadows"), and if McGwire evolved as a juicer because of his little brother (see "Mark and Me"), then the squashing of Roger Maris' record started with the youngest of the five McGwire brothers, Jay.

"Somewhat, yeah. Who knows what would've happened if Mark didn't use steroids?" Jay McGwire said Friday in a Chronicle interview. "I don't know if he would've hit 70. That's pretty freaky right there. It motivated other athletes. Baseball didn't have a drug policy at all. It was a dream setup for athletes. I guarantee it drove Bonds to get competitive."
