Lenny Dykstra's PED Scandal

Baseball's Lenny Dykstra

Dykstra, a former standout player for the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, candidly addressed his use of performance-enhancing drugs during his baseball career.

In a 2016 interview with Bleacher Report, Dykstra detailed the origins of his PED usage. He acknowledged that he turned to PEDs in 1989 due to a perceived physical disadvantage. Feeling undersized and lacking strength, he believed PEDs could help bridge the gap.

The results were immediate and significant. Dykstra's performance soared as he achieved a .300 batting average, 25 home runs, and 86 RBIs that season, earning him his first All-Star team selection.

Despite the success, Dykstra was forthcoming about the toll PED use took on his well-being. He recounted experiencing mood swings, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and a loss of appetite.

Dykstra eventually won a World Series title with the Phillies in 1993.

However, Dykstra made a pivotal decision in 1996, choosing to end his use of PEDs. Struggling with constant illness and seeking a path to reclaim his life, Dykstra made the choice to prioritize his well-being over performance enhancement.
