And everyone stopped using immediately which is why 2006 saw no one suspended for performance-enhancing drugs.
Spin it all you want. You said, "middle of the steroids era" which most people can agree was actually mid-to-late-90's. Drug testing began in 2006 and whether all usage ceased in 2006 is immaterial. Baseball began cleaning up the sport in the spring of 2006 by testing for drugs effectively closing "the steroid era."
Claiming that usage in 2006 was as rampant as in 1998 is disingenuous and you know it.
