Underground injectable containing arsenic kills bodybuilder

Greaser, I agree with you. Criminalizing AAS has just made things more dangerous. I would be fine with the government regulating and taxing it. Hell, most of us would pay sky-high prices if there was a 100% quality guarantee.

The heavy metals aspect is troubling. Especially since there's really no way of knowing what you're using.

Given how stupid people are, I doubt just having AAS available at the pharmacy as OTC products would work, but doctors specializing in sports medicine or endocrinology should be able to prescribe them -- not to encourage AAS use but as a way of minimizing harm to the users by eliminating UGL contamination. They could make sure they cycle was a sane one and could also prescribe HCG and PCT medications and other ancillaries. And yes, it could be taxed as well. I only recently went over to the "dark side" and started pinning, and that was after doing a lot of research, and the thought that I might be injecting toxic heavy metals right into my muscles scares the crap out of me. I wish there was a university lab around here that would test gear for contamination. We could publish the results in the "lab work" section.

Just wanted to say guys I have had heavy metal poisoning from steroid use as has my.friend using multiple foreign powder imported sourced. The amount of chelation therapy and expense is insane to heal it. And that is if u catch it in time. I'm done with roids. A hair mineral analysis is the only real way to tell.

Shit man, I'm very sorry to hear that. This whole subject actually scares the crap out of me. Most of us would never feed anything to our dogs that was made in China, but that's where most of the raws come from that we inject directly into our muscles.

Can I ask what symptoms you had that made you get the hair analysis? Also, were you cycling for a long time?

I am curious of the sides myself. I am also curious as to the length it would take your body to rid itself of the heavy metals or if it can even do that. Scary stuff!
