That's a fair point. From what I've seen, Anderson has flat denied steroid use, and it doesn't make great sense that he'd only use for one season. What is possible is that he'd been using and bulking up for quite some time, and had a monster year in 1996. He did get noticeably bigger as his career went on (and to answer your question, he was jacked going forward), so it is possible he juiced well before then and only broke out in '96. But I see your point.

A-Rod supposedly only roided up during the time with the Rangers but it did influence his ability later on to get a $300+ million deal with the Yankees since he's not busted until after the new contract.
A good non-roids example would be Sean Alexander for Seattle in football. He has a great few years as a running back near the end of his contract. Then he gets a huge pay increase with a new contract and follows it by not even trying to be good the following years since he got paid and doesn't care anymore.

He became a free agent after the '97 season, year after he hit the 50 bombs.
Oh, and how do I know Anderson is still jacked?
