8.Exercise, rest, and nutrition are vital for a pitcher’s health. Performance-Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) may enable the athlete to achieve disproportionately strong muscles that overwhelm the UCL and lead to injury.

Another interesting tidbit. Especially when you factor that in with the point about max-effort pitching. PEDs allow more max-effort pitching and faster recovery but that will abuse the UCL more.
