No, it's not the same for reasons (I would think) are obvious...
No one is knocking over old ladies for the pure, or robbing banks...to get their "fix" of anabolics...
I guess that makes the football and baseball players "drug addicts" as well...
Sure that would make others drug addicts too.
The fact that steroids are easier attainable and there's no need to rob someone doesn't make up for the fact that we have the typical signs of drug addiction in steroid users, i.e. lack of self esteem that is covered with drug use, doing criminal acts to get the drug, thoughts cycling abround drug usage all day, the good feeling when you get the next fix or go on next cycle, anxiety when drug isn't available etc.
