This is much better than most of the info that they put out there. Most of the time they make the bodybuilding community look like an underground secret society that is going to corrupt a quiet little christian neighborhood.


The year question is: 'How far will this go in the minds of people?' answer is probably not far because of a 10:1 ratio of negative to positive.

Wow, a little positive note for once. I'm shocked someone had the balls to write that with all the crap going on these days! Kudos to the writer!

"Based on the results, the authors said that targeting at-risk teens and "cheating" athletes for steroid abuse is ineffective. The study concluded that a better group to target would be professional men who are driven, ambitious and dedicated to gym attendance, diet, occupational goals and educational attainment."

Well that's just great. Pfft.

OTH, I *think* there was some scarcasm in the authors last sentence, at least that is how I interpreted it.

I'm shocked to see something like that on any affiliated FoxNews construct.

That's how I interpreted it also.

 

[OuchThatHurts]

Of course it was journalistic sarcasm. So was my post because they basically described me in a nutshell. Which even worse, makes me some sort of cliche! I do need to make better use of the smileys. <-see? LOL

What the fuck are those authors thinking? You think that if you cant get kids to stop that youre going to get adults to? I was reading this thread with a hope for logic and now its smashed.

Good article... I don't get the irritation towards calling athletes 'cheaters' if they use anabolic chemicals. Are we talking baseball, or bodybuilding?

 

[NCMAC]

"Although often considered similar to abusers of narcotics and other illicit drugs, non-medical steroid users are remarkably different"

Well halle-f***in-lujah!! Its about time someone mentioned publicly how destroying oneself in any every sense of the word, by shooting heroin or smoking crack is "remarkably" different than the those whose life revolves around an extreme dedication to health and fitness..

It makes me laugh at the sheer ignorance of those that say the use of AAS is "cheating".. ..as if they have any idea what the life of a dedicated bodybuilder that uses AAS consists of and the hells we endure to attain our individual goals.. If thats cheating then I had no idea cheating could be such a pain in the ass at times!! (quite literally actually)

When someone is talking about "cheating" in baseball, or football, or Hockey, or whatever, I agree. It IS cheating because there are rules against it.

I think from a public relations perspective, guys like Barry Bonds are the worst thing that could ever happen to the steroid using community. Mothers all over the country are up in arms about athletes teaching their kids to cheat. No mothers are pissed about bodybuilding because everyone knows, thats just part of the sport.

I absolutely agree with you.. I was referring more to the term in relation to the sport of Bodybuilding.. Using AAS in professional sports definitely is cheating and shouldnt be tolerated.. everyone is playing on a team of people that have the same genetic limitations as every other guy.. if someone has 1000mg of test running through their system.. Id say their homerun count may tend to be a bit higher than the next guy's...

But absolutely man.. I shouldve been more clear in my original post..

 

[scrray]

this is good

i think thing's will get more possitive as time goes on

 

[joe914]

too bad no one will prob ever read that article and get the real facts with the tons of steriod bashing articles and spots on the news floating around ...

 

[shoestring]

good article, hope people read it.

 

[oldfella]

Just a side note........while talking of cheating and breaking rules.......AAS are not allowed in Body Building! It is against the rules in all federations!

So we are all cheaters by the rules!!

Now did I say that they enforce the rules........No I did not! I am just stating a fact since rules were mentioned here!

damn! they got me! are they psychic?
