gross

**Tesla** · 08-26-2008, 07:19 PM

Why does the acne not show up in the first picture where he's looking all buff? I mean I see some spots on his chest but they don't really look like zits.

**Rugger02** · 08-26-2008, 07:20 PM

Idiot.

Gross idiot.....

**tadpoleboyy** · 08-26-2008, 07:36 PM

no way, how the fuq can you get acne that bad. It looks like he got blasted with a shotgun. I wonder if somthing else caused it.

Thats what I was thinking. It blew my mind. Dude must have been picking his acne or something. He doesn't even look like he works out in the second pictures. Are we sure this is the same guy or did the media use two different people? I've seen it done before where they post warped pictures that have been enhanced and say this and that about steroids

**Coop77** · 08-26-2008, 09:22 PM

That doesn't even look like acne. It's all scabbed and bloody looking.

**Panzerfaust** · 08-26-2008, 09:24 PM

I am also calling BS!

**Bojangles69** · 08-26-2008, 09:31 PM

yah total bullshit.

HAha, this is so fake. Picture A looks like a bber with terrible gyno and some fu*ked up lookin pecs. Pics B and C are of some fat looking couch potatoe that got blasted by a shotgun. No way the same person and never seen a 21yr old look like pic A, arnold didnt even look like that at 21.

**Kratos** · 08-26-2008, 11:44 PM

That isn't from the steroid use ...my guess Acne Conglobata, and the causes aren't well understood. They used a picture from one of the most severe cases of the most severe type of acne and attached it to steroid use.

**Reed** · 08-26-2008, 11:51 PM

Dude that second picture is just so gross. It looks like a damn flesh eating disease. It is unbelievable, how do you let it get that bad without rushing to the ER... I would shiiiittttt

**MuscleScience** · 08-26-2008, 11:56 PM

That is absolutely horrific.

**MR_T** · 08-27-2008, 12:00 AM

i love how the caption says 'history of anabolic -androgenic steroid abuse ' key word abuse, water can be deadly if abused

**Voice of Reason** · 08-27-2008, 12:35 AM

"I'm Scared Straight"

**Amorphic** · 08-27-2008, 12:45 AM

dudes got some meannnnn gyno too.

**Skully44420** · 08-27-2008, 01:04 AM

definately looks fake. well not the sores but the first pic and the last 2 can't be the same guy. and i doubt that was caused by steroid use

**CSAR** · 08-27-2008, 05:20 AM

Well, I guess the Clearasil ain't gonna work this time. Maybe I'll use the sand blaster instead...

**Psychotron** · 08-27-2008, 08:12 AM

Do any of you know how long has lapsed between the pictures? See what happens when you completely stop working out for 6 months. I had shoulder surgery in March and have shrunk considerably. Now see what happens to those of you on the juice and you stop for 6 months.

**Gears** · 08-27-2008, 08:16 AM

He looks like a fcking burn victim.

**juicy_brucy** · 08-27-2008, 08:18 AM

**stpete** · 08-28-2008, 04:55 AM

Bullshit. But i guarantee there will be some parents show this to their kids and preach about steroids .

**Kale** · 08-28-2008, 07:23 AM

ew I amd raising the BS flag on this one

The dude also needs to make a visit to Victoria Secrets as well

**Gears** · 08-28-2008, 09:06 AM

Always scewed facts, I can almost promise it was from an underlying medical condition that steroids might have stimulated. It`s also proabably present in less that 1% of the total population (for example).

Most people don`t bother to look past the front cover and get sucked into a biased story without considering all the facts. I`m not saying this is, but I can bet there are ignorant people who will use this as legit ammo for a anti-steroid point of views. The lack of thinking depth in most people almost always amazes me.
