The Steroid debate.


Recommended Posts

Watch the documentary bigger stronger faster.

 

If they are so dangerous and deadly why are they used in medicine and regarded as a miracle drug? Why did the government ban the use of them when the people they consulted said do not ban them? Did you know having low testosterone is worse than high testosterone? Did you know that the theory of they make you angry etc is made up? In terms of mood and temper they amplify the type of person you are. So yes if you have a temper and get angry easy it will make it worse. If you are not an adult male of good health physically and mentally then you shouldn't use them period.

For medical use, yes they are used, but if they are used to enhance your abilities in sports it's unfair and frankly stupid!

 

Legalize it....bigger stronger faster athletes equals much more exciting sports....we already watch athletes using PEDs on a daily basis

maybe so, but it also makes it more dangerous, hence we wind up with what we're going through now with the concussion boom. Athletes are bigger, faster and stronger, and frankly the human body is just not designed to put up with the collisions that are taking place. Steroids would make this issue much worse. We're already seeing the demise of the sport of contact football right before our eyes because of bigger, stronger, faster, yet, you want to accelerate it.

Risk reward. Football will never go away. Too much money involved. Many people will gladly play for millions with the chance of concussion. Would you play pro football for a mil a year if it resulted in possible concussion? I would

 

 

Ask Junior Seau if he would.

No football will never go away. You are right. I said the demise of the sport of contact football as in it is changing, heading for an irrecognizeble stature right before our eyes. I say it all the time, 10 years from now, this sport we love will be nothing like it is today.

IMO, PEDs should be tested monthly in ALL professional sports. Maybe even college. Get rid of anybody that uses them because they have no place in sports.

 

Or start a league that allows them to be used....bet I know which league makes more money and has more viewers...

 

It was called the XFL and it failed awesomely. And league hedley would fail just as miserably. If the PED scandal in baseball proved anything, it is people, ie the fans, do not respect or want to dump money into a sport filled with juicers.

That is thanks to the bogus negative pub it receives without any proof

I know you're not talking about the MLB, because if you are pull your head out of the sand. Player after player has fessed to it.

I know too, but my answer isn't the same as yours.

 

How many professional football leagues, other than the NFL, have started and either quickly folded or have limped along without anybody paying attention to them? Do you think the XFL cared about PED testing? I highly doubt it.

I would never advocate for steroid use in sports. Also, I not sure I believe steroids safe.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the "steroids don't really cause roid rage!" song and dance that people are pushing these days is a flat out lie.

 

There's a lot of misinformation on both sides of that discussion, but to just pretend the negative effects don't actually exist is dangerous on so many levels.
