PEOPLE....PLEASE STOP WITH THE STEROID SHIT, who cares, they all take them to compete in the sport, its part of it, so what? its their body. I don't bitch because you smoke pot and are weak and pale and sit on the couch eating cheetoes and watch The Simpsons. Almost all professional athletes use them, It is just part of it. It is not a magic potion, it takes thousands of hours of hard work and training to be great at anything with or without drugs. I am 46 yrs old drug free I still work out.

you can compete in anything you want, that does not mean you have a chance of winning. They have so called natural competitions and I am sure some people compete drug free and in that mostly clean sport maybe you can win, But in the Olympia or the Iron man classic or any other major pro shows, you don't have a chance drug free, like it or not, approve or not, its just the way it is, You can complain, cry over the injustice of it all or except people will do what they want or can get away with.

I don't think Government has the right to tell anyone what they can and can't put into their own body as far as that goes, I am a libertarian. But as for the drug issue, they used to be legal and prescribed by doctors in the Arnold days of glory. Many records were set that can only be broken with the same supplementation. Why are you so concerned about someone using? They are going to lie because it is illegal, what do you expect? Almost everyone uses in pro sports, tested or not.apples 2 apples

Why is it that you try to validate drugs though? Sure if you're only a powerlifter then sure, it's not a tested sport. As soon as you do a sport which is tested though (most other sports) it becomes cheating. As soon as you lie about it, you take away from those people who really are clean. I understand the effort it takes regardless of drugs, but nobody can tell me it's not easier to achieve a 250kg squat on roids than off.

Becca is so juiced. Scary

[cheesedips]

I just cant take yhe lies about roids. Noone mentions them

[leadpoison101]

no, it does not invalidate the sport.anymore than it invalidates football, baseball or any other professional sport, what does that even mean, "INVALIDATE", It's common knowledge that everyone from cyclists to wrestlers use drugs to enhance their performance, so what? who cares? If you don't like it don't watch it.Bottom line if you want to be competitive in sports where drugs are used, you take drugs. If you don't want to use participate/support only tested events,maybe 1/4 of them are clean.

If steroids are part of the sport, doesn't that invalidate the sport as a whole?
