Well worth a watch alright, I would never have known enough about steroids to comment either way on them before.
You gotta love the Americans though - bringing the issue to law after their own golden boy, Carl Lewis got beaten by the "junkie" Ben Johnson!

Good video alright, I still disagree with it's use in sport though. (Unless sectioned)

if you wikipedia ben johnson it is a really interesting read.

certainly johnson admits to drug abuse but not the drug he was caught with cos that was too blatent.

it certainly hints that carl lewis's camp were involved in ben johnsons failure.

yeah guys looking through the video and not that it promotes anabolic steriods it states that there not as dangerous as you think. on a personal level i used anabolics for over 2 years. befor i did this i studied alot of the diff type of drugs and effects. i can only say on a personal level and a couple of people i train with. many of the guys got acne and hair loss which are minor effects. for myself im a little unlucky and my sides were a little worse. I had my blood levels checked plus a sperm count done the sperm count came back at zero.. ususally peoples count comes back low but mine was zero, the only explanation the hospital could give me was from steriods. tests still go on. I also knew a guy who started using and 5 weeks into his first course he nearly died of heart failur.. he had some disease which the Juice promoted and his heart couldnt handle the pressure...
I haven done steriods in over a year untill i got all results back. it is a major risk taking them, just make sure u know what ur doing

Whatever way you want to look at is AAS are a medicine. If you expect to use them and get no sides than that is just silly. You need to be willing to live with whatever the effects may be of using it…..i would have the same attitude towards any drug, smoking, drinking etc. As such, thanks for posting because I think a lot of people approach AAS with a "won't happen to me approach".

I'm not too sure what the deal is with such treatments over here but what are your doctors doing about your hypogondism???

Perviously before hand I could never understand the use of steroids at all. Until I got a taxi driver one day who was an ex power lifter and he was telling me his story. Basically he never took anything but won very little. His dilema, the guys winning are taking so its "can't beat them join them" attitude. While I understand the dilema here and why one may join the group I honestly have no idea why people take these just to look good in a gym!

Plus there is something much more satisfying doing it naturally than with the aid of drugs.
