DEUCE BIGALOW - SCHNEIDER SHOOTS DOWN STEROIDS

DEUCE BIGALOW star ROB SCHNEIDER refused to take steroids to prepare for his upcoming role in THE BENCHWARMERS - insisting no amount of drugs could boost his athleticism. The actor and avid San Francisco Giants baseball fan took batting cues from scandal-laden left-fielder BARRY BONDS to prepare for the comedy about three friends desperate to reclaim their childhood by challenging little league teams, but wouldn't touch performance enhancing drugs He tell Sporting News magazine, "Steroids don't make you great. If you take steroids and I take steroids, it's not going to help us hit a 90mph fastball out of the park... "Now, it may help my testicles shrink up to my abdomen, and it may help my forehead get bigger and my back get full of zits."
