Brother: McGwire knew steroids would make him bigger, stronger

NEW YORK (AP) — Jay McGwire heard big brother Mark say last month he only took steroids to heal, and not to get stronger. That doesn’t match Jay McGwire’s recollection.
“Mark knew that he was going to get the strength and endurance and size. I know that the main motive to justify taking steroids was healing,” Jay McGwire said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I know that for a fact. But in the long run he knew the strength and the size and endurance will increase. I don’t know why he’s coming across that it was all healing.”
