Why do Pro Bodybuilders continue with the falsity that 'steroids are harmless'?

Seriously, this is the only industry that still peddles the same misinformed and untruthful garbage about these drugs!

The Pro's continue to rationalize and justify the use of steroids, gh, insulin, diuretics etc etc.

This is irresponsible and borders on the criminal.

This industry with its so-called athletes must start by telling the truth about the dangerous practices of drug taking -which are intrinsic to success in the sport!

They ARE harmless when used in moderate dosages. Just like alcohol and tabacco.

I would have been very sick and probably dead if they had the power to harm people.

Also "hank wood" you seem to forget that steroids were introduced in the medical world as life savers.

Well, Hank, according to Bob Chic and Princess Tom, drugs are merely finishing touches and not really intrinsic to the sport. What say YOU to these assertions?

New Hank Wood · « **Reply #6 on:** August 28, 2008, 07:29:46 AM »

The industry thrives on misinformation!

Like so many, i am absolutely fed up with these so-called Pros spreading lies about their cycles. Yes, they continue to misrepresent the product!

These insecure meatheads must desist in presenting themselves as 'medical authorities' on this subject!

And yes, stop confusing the role steroids play in treating medical conditions such as 'heart bi pass surgery' with blatant and ignorant abuse perpetuated by these dumb-fuck-zero-iq-thong-prancing-midgets!

That doesn't mean that these drugs are harmless, that just means that you had luck till now.

It's the same with smoking: There are also people who can smoke like a chimney for 60 years without having lung cancer, would you say smoking is harmless because of that??

Basically it's all fate. There are guys like Schwarzenegger or Stallone who are on the sauce for more than 40 years and still alive at 60; and hundreds of others (like many wrestlers) die in their 30s or 40s because of the side effects. Pure Fate!

Well, they can be harmless if used properly & in low/moderate doses. However, I think it's more then steroids that contribute to bodybuilding being the "danger" you think it is (rec drugs, pain killers, diuretics, simulants).

The lesson here is; Pro Bodybuilders are not to be believed.

No drug dealer/pusher/user should be given any credit!

The doses of steroids that national level & pro BBers take are without a doubt harmful to their health. Understand this so you don't make the same mistakes. Natural, of couse, is best.

ie...Take 2 or 3 advil per day with food, minimal worries, take 30 & you'll have kidney & stomach problems.

Beat me to the punch...

EVERYTHING can be harmful if taken to extreme, and the reverse stands as well. I'm sure smoking one cigarette/ day would most likely not give you cancer...

Moderate, yes "moderate" sounds very reassuring. As in "moderate doses of heroin."

Does one's endocrine system know that you are being "moderate."

New Hank Wood · « **Reply #21 on:** August 28, 2008, 07:46:38 PM »

This sport is built on 'misinformation' and 'truth rationalisation'.

Oh yeah, it is quite normal for young healthy men to suffer long term illness and even die prematurely.

So the line is; steroids dont contribute to heart disorders, organ meltdowns, mental illness and strokes?

And yes, what the industry fails to devulge, is that these seemingly 'health alert individuals' live on diets of steroids, diuretics, rec drugs, ibuprofen, red meat and whey.

Oh yeah, everyone else is wrong; the industry is healthy and practices sensible protocols. Yeah right!

The industry is a fraud and is exploiting and misleading its stakeholders!

Well said...

To answer the question at large:

Steroids ARE harmless...

it's USING them that's the issue!

New Hank Wood · « **Reply #24 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:58:42 PM »

The argument relating to the 'use and abuse' of steroids is circular.....and endless.

My issue is, the way in which this industry tries to mask everything. Play dumb. The whole 'head in the sand' attitude. Its pathetic and irresponsible!

At the end of the day, the health and fitness industry should be about health and fitness. Hence, steroids do 'not' fit this paradigm!
