STEROIDS FRIEND OR FOE? YOU BE THE JUDGE~!!

[IronpumpedLady]

It seems lately that AAS have become a target for the government and health officials to prove the dangers and ill effects they believe that they have on your health and well being. They have pushed it to the limits and really started an all out war against AAS. Hence the Operation Raw Deal. It Seems every time you turn on the TV, pick up the newspaper, turn on your satellite radio, log on your computer, the firs thing you see, hear or read is Barry Bonds Blah, Blah, Blah, FloJo, Blah, Blah, Blah,Testing in this sport, baseball this, football this, Steroids BAD!!! Well, I for one am so sick of all the negativity regarding AAS, people judging others and just the pure over all ignorance regarding AAS's and there use!! They even have the President talking about it in his public speeches. The really bad thing is that the people who really know nothing about AAS, hear all this negativity and there first reaction to the action is to condemn them, all that use them, and support the war against them. Without ever really taking the time to educate themselves about what it is they are condoning!! Human nature I guess, to be afraid of the unknown. Because it's nothing that involves there lives they take no time out of there busy schedules to try to learn anything about what it is the fear!! Remember when aids was first discovered and everyone was so fearful that you could get it from just being near a person that had it, or from touching them, from looking at them, we are almost able to compare the ignorance regarding AAS to this moment in our history!!! Which to me is so very saddening!
I could sit here and continue to go on and on about how tired I am of this being made into a big deal, especially regarding our Professional athlete's!! (one More point I would Like to cover) Its like all at once they have decided
after all these years that its wrong for our athlete's to enhance there talents with performance enhancing drugs!!! Have they just been ignorant, blind or has it just not mattered that they have been using them since our professional teams became sanctioned! The athlete's in some of our first Olympic competitions used them, they used them until there were ways to detect the enhancement supplements in there bodies! As long as man continues to compete against each other in any sport they will be a factor in the equation!
I stumbled across this and wanted to share it with everyone, its really something that could be considered an awakening! Watch it and give your feed back!

Gear is my best friend

[nextBIGone]

I will have to vote "friend". Although it can be your enemy if used incorrectly. I guess you can relate gear to fire...it can save your life...or end it.

honestly cops are the biggest hypocrits out there. many take gear. for me i consider it in both contexts. there have been points where i was reckless and then as i matured i became better about it all. i think the only problem is kids taking it and not knowing how to. a good response to this, is would u allow ur son or daughter to use gear?when i have kids i will make it their decision. i will ecucate them if they wanna know about them. i think this country makes a lot of these things condemned and should instead inform and educate. steroids arent bad if taken properly and with a good diet and bloodwork. i think however many people who do have problems is because of abuse and not living a healthy lifestyle. i know many gear users who use coke and the like and it pisses me off. they are complete idiots and those are the ones who shouldnt use it. i love my gear, but i also know my limits. not overdoing it is key.

it doesnt matter what they do athletes will always find somthing to have an edge. this is an on going battle that they will never win, might prolong but never win. i personally am a "friend" as long as done correctly, unlike that jackass injecting pump-n-pose in his arms everyday.

You all have such great points~~!!! I just think we need to educate everyone, children, teens and adults, so what exactly AAS are how they work, how they should and shouldn't be used, not just say "DRUGS< JUST SAY NO!" Its like anything else out there, they are abused by those who don't know what they are dealing with. But as long as we have competitive sports there are going to be those looking for the extra edge. I just have to say this one thing,.. The professional athlete's are talented, thats why they are pros, and those pro's that have chose to enhance themselves are still talented with or without, they are better than the Average athlete, plain and simiple!!! I don't think that your average athlete is going to become that much better by using AAS, they have to have the talent to enhance in the first place!!!


Stay Strong~~!!!
