I don’t think people realize how big of a part of society ped’s are.
I work in an ER and tons of men are on testosterone.
Clemson’s top draft pick just got busted for ped’s and the media and ncaa just yawned at it.
To many examples of dudes getting faster leaner and heavier while in college. You can only attribute so much to nutrition and training. I know we live in an age where those 2 things are leaps and bounds to where they were 15 years ago. But 15 years ago guys were also juicing but the difference now is that the dosages and knowledge about how to do it safely is also ahead of where it was 15 years ago.
My brother and law does a lot of cycling down here.
And dudes at amateur level cycling are juicing. And they’re not even getting paid.
Another thing that nobody wants to talk about is that ped’s may actually be beneficial to some athletes. Especially in events like the Tour de France. To do something like that takes an immense toll on your body. Taking testosterone, cortisone and even hgh greatly reduces the wear and tear of an event like that.
The other scenario is taking a young man through the the stress of a football season. The tempo of training the demands of the coaches may lead to injuries that may be avoidable.
I know that’s a very difficult and controversial topic.
To say “yeah let’s put this 19 year old on steroids” is not going to be very popular. However to say it doesn’t go on is very short sighted. It’s been going on for decades. I mean the boz admitted to be on it.
However if you say that injuries can be reduced and performance can be enhanced and dosing is only minimal in a young man then that’s another story.
Just think about the ammount of athletes that have tested positive in every sport. If ped’s were so dangerous dudes would be dying all over the place.
Lyle Alzado was the poster child for steroid usage but he’s actually the poster child for steroid abuse and so was Rich Pianna.
Can athletes take testosterone if they are clinically diagnosed with low T by a doctor? I’m assuming testosterone is banned even with a doctors script for all athletes, right?
