[_Wiliam_WaLLace]

looks like the heat is picking up on steroids, here is a shitty ass article from ESPN suggesting that any steroid use will cause death:

William nice post. It's a trip when you read stuff like that. I guess you better off not abusing them madly and do the occcasional cycle. However, this may be a journalistic biasis point of view.

Definately no need to go insane on doses, unless you are planning on competing...and still then, huge dosages are not necessary for results. A little test, an anabolic...and you're ready to go.

I have worked out and know well a pro wrestler from the WWE, I think the problem is that these guys are on juice all year long. It is his job, so he has to be on gear, so i do not condemn him at all for that, but after years and years of this practice it will catch up to you health wise.

To the average rec user like me, who cycles maybe 4 times in a lifetime, with lots of time off, this article is shit.

The reason I posted this is that it I have noticed steroids are becoming more popular amongst the media. There was the HBO special, then the baseball article, and now this, so the media is up in a rant about steroid usage, and this is not good for any of us. The more quiet things are, the better.

If I drank 20 shots of liquor every night for 20 years what do you think would happen to my body? If I died from a heart attack and i'm an alcoholic everyone assumes it was the booze that killed me right? Whether it did or not. Does this mean that everyone who drinks a beer is doomed to die early from alcoholism? Of course not. I don't believe that everyone who does a few cycles is going to die early from it either. Everyone who takes a drink risks becoming an alcoholic and everyone who uses steroids assumes certains risks. But I say to Sports Illustrated and everyone else that wants to join that rant - don't preach to me about a beer just beacuse you can point to an alcoholic in the gutter and don't preach to me about steroids just because a few people go to far and pay with thier lives!

Heh... sounds like some promotional campaign to get AAS into supermarkets
I wish they were actually better than I thought. I doubt it though. Yet I realise the risks and am prepared to live with those risks. We all choose certain things that are potentially dangerous if not fatal but there is usually a reason or desire so powerful that outweighs all the risks.
