From MESO-Rx Bodybuilding News
Intravenous Steroid Use at Florida State University?
Excerpt:
A STATE UNIVERSITY TEACHES US ANABOLIC STEROIDS ARE TO BE USED INTRAVENOUSLY AND THEY MAY CAUSE "LIMB LOSS"
I'm sure that most MESO-Rx readers are have grown accustomed to the ignorance and misinformation regularly published in mainstream media newspapers regarding anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS). Every day I read about the exaggerated and overstated (if not completely erroneous) dangers of AAS in the news. So my expectations regarding journalistic reporting is low. But today I came across a media story that is so blatantly stupid and misinformed that even I was shocked and appalled.
"'They make you lose weight, look strong and give you that desired six-pack. In today's society these things have become real important. But steroids also provide a rush, which becomes addictive. You crave the rush, physically and psychologically. This is why most people take steroids intravenously, because it hits them quicker, right before they go to the gym.' [Dan Moore, Health Educator at Florida State University's Thagard Student Health Center.] Intravenously injecting steroids is primarily the reason for HIV/Aids being a side effect of usage, as many steroid users share needles."
Did he say that AAS need to be injected intravenously? It is one thing to ignorant, but it is dangerous and irresponsible to express such information in the capacity of a "student health educator" at a university. By suggesting that the proper way to use AAS is to inject them intravenously, he is providing instruction (albeit unintentionally) to not-so-bright first time users. After all, Mr. Moore is a Florida State University educator, health care professional (and presumably a steroid 'expert'), with experience in drug education and substance abuse treatment. He must know the very basics of how AAS are used and abused?
Does Florida State University have any sort of standards by which "health educators" must abide? If so, I would hope such irresponsible and potentially harmful statements would be sufficient for a censure.
