The media and medical profession sceremonger too much and recreational users play down the side effects, and big up the results. Some sort of education, with-out prejudice, would I think steer more people away from drugs than on to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-38447145184156596672008-05-21T13:09:00.000-07:002008-05-21T13:09:00.000-07:00I find the debate over steroids to be fascinating,...I find the debate over steroids to be fascinating, actually. Personally, I don't care whether someone is using steroids. I'm not THAT tied into sporting records or wins that it personally affects me. That said, I totally get the response from terrence above and a lot of my friends feel the same way. In my view, if that is what someone wants to do, so be it. They will likely have health problems later, and that is their problem.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08736267348839760241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-73089326642630051662008-05-15T20:43:00.000-07:002008-05-15T20:43:00.000-07:00I think any drug that enhances performance should ...I think any drug that enhances performance should be banned. I think what the USSR did with drugs was disgusting; their so-called athletes were conformist losers, regardless of whether they ‘won’ any contests. I find what the USSR did to so many of its ‘athletes’ historically curious, and shows how empty the totalitarian regime was (many people were seriously harmed by what they were often required to ingest). <BR/> <BR/>Any so-called athlete who takes performance enhancing drugs should be banned from competitions, and any awards they have received should be voided. They should be publicly humiliated, scorned, and make fun of. If all athletes in a sport were taking performance enhancing drugs, I would have no interest it all (just as I have no interest in what some USSR ‘athletes’ did in contests). <BR/><BR/>You can find some really grotesque photos of seriously deformed 'body builders' who have over done it with steroids. I don’t recall who it was, but someone was lecturing a group of so-called ‘body builders’ and he pointed out the dangers of heavy steroid use; he pointed out that they would likely die early because of what they were doing. Some brain dead fool in the audience shouted out, ‘Die big’, and the other losers took it up and they ended up chanting, ‘Die big’, ‘Die big’. What a pathetic group of losers; they really should get psychological help. They are slowly committing suicide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
