how true is the media frenzy about steroids in amercia

**celticd** · 03-25-2008, 02:47 PM

hi there men
im from europe and everyday im reading about the use of steroids in america
from cops to firemen and college students
is it blown out of proportion by the media or is it rife in everyday life?
how many ppl juice at youre gym ? 50% or more
how many college students with sport backgrounds juice?
i do see alot of lets say "KIDS" looking for advice on AAS on many boards which i think is wrong
i do believe in responsible AAS usage but for adults above 28 at least,altough id rather see a kid of 24 juicing compared to what life can offer most youngsters these days
namely HARD DRUGS...
im from the rep of ireland and AAS usage is small amongest irish BB or gym regulars,altough with the influx of eastren european workers into ireland lately u see a lot of them juice
so inform me please..FACT OR FICTION

I think its somewhere in the middle. You'll find a decent amount of men in their early 20's irresponsibly using AAS in gyms and on sports teams, but you have to remember that the total number of people who are even involved in any form of fitness is a pretty low percentage of the whole population. Most Americans are just fat and talk about steroids because they heard about them on the news.

i agree IMHO to say any thing bad about steroids you either a. have a degree in some sort of medicine or human health or b. have done 'em plus it shouldnt be hear say, cause the crap you learn in high school gym class about steroids is bs,my gym teacher told me your test levels will never be lower than the amount you injected ever again (so why would ppl have to inject more than once?)

I remember the basic message of my health teachers was "if you do steroids you will have ROID RAGE and DIEEEE!"

The media IMO is blowing the steroid situation way out of proportion..... Granted it is in our sports and everyday life but not to the extreme that they lead you to believe and geesh cant they find something else to pick on

Its all scripted in a favor of not to do steroids at all.

Its realy sad how a falling economy and a nation that is being overrun by illegal's can continue to put so much effort into busting Steroids ...It just goes to show you how smart the people in charge realy are..I mean look around...The US will soon be one of the poorest countries if we continue to waste money on things like this...I say they need to make it regulated and taxed...why shouldnt anyone be able to do what they want with their OWN life...as long as it isnt harming anyone else who cares...Its realy sad seeing people go to jail for Steroids and then some child molester gets off because he isnt in the right mind set and then goes and does it again in 3 months..

People in Jail on Death sentences should be shot..a bullet is cheap

Child porn and moleters should have it cut right off and their ass sowed shut..

sorry to ramble on off topic..but it makes me realy sad thinking about what my 2 kids are up against in the future...

thats the media for you... explodes on the negative things, and rarely shows the positive side of stuff... cause noone wants to know the good things that are goin on, just the bad.. basically it feeds off peoples ignorance...
