ESPN: Quinn: Dealer: McGwire wanted to be ‘bigger’

A convicted drug dealer who says he used to supply steroids to former baseball slugger Mark McGwire told ESPN on Thursday that McGwire’s goal was to get “bigger, faster, stronger” to improve his performance on the field, contradicting recent statements by McGwire, who said he used the drugs to maintain his health.

Curtis Wenzlaff, speaking to ESPN’s Outside the Lines, said he feels there is no doubt that the array of drugs he provided McGwire helped him become a more-accomplished home-run hitter.

“Will it help you hit a baseball?” Wenzlaff said. “Let me put it to you this way. If Paris Hilton was to take that array, she could run over Dick Butkus.”

...He also said that he thinks the combination of drugs he provided for McGwire would help McGwire’s hand-eye coordination.

“When you implement into what you are doing—for instance hitting—an individualized, specialized program with muscle growth and explosiveness ... while you’re on your drugs, it will improve your hand-eye coordination.”
