I am totally down for legal steroids. But I just do not see it happening because they are even making weak pro-hormones schedule 3 drugs! It just gets sicker and sicker. I really wish steroid were never scheduled to begin with. I think you are right! the quality would go up and the prices would be good and you wouldn't have to be worried about what you are shooting in your body. I think it would be a perfect solution for driving out the ugl's who sell poison. there are a few decent ugl's but most are just selling poison. I wish steroids were legal in the USA. I know this isn't really answering your main question just my opinion. It just will not happen! for christ sakes they scheduled 1-AD! plus the whole victor conte scandal and operation raw deal will keep steroids illegal. I got sick of it myself that is why I did some traveling a few years ago.
I've always felt that if the general public knew the truth about steroids, not just what they do and actually are but how many athletes are and have been actually using them this would be a big step in the right direction. It was BALCO that ended up leading to some of the biggest steroid hearing of all time, and the Mitchel Report that came out of that named somewhere around 80-90 pro athletes suspected of using...80-90, are you kidding? Of course it's more like in the thousands but stating 80-90 gives false credibility to the anti-steroid cause. It implies it's a problem held by the dirty few. If people realized how important steroids were to sports, how long they've been important and that if they actually disappeared it would ruin things like the NFL their opinions on the matter would begin to shift. Of course, things like the documentary Bigger, Stronger, Faster help to a degree, but only very slightly. People would need to be slowly given the information bit by bit in short news stories because their attention spans are are that of an 8yr old boy.
If people were made aware that the steroid laws of the U.S. were one of the biggest scams in this countries history, I truly believe that would be the first step towards real change. I do believe the laws can be changed and I do believe it will happen, but it's going to take time.
Another step is actual medical evidence of course, and I speak to numerous physicians through my job on the topic of hormones and I've noticed something over the last while. Most physicians who are over the age of 45, especially over the age of 50, they're immovable on the topic, the "steroids are bad" mantra has been engrained so deeply no amount of truth can penetrate regardless of the truth. This isn't all of them, but it seems to be the strong majority. Those who are younger, they tend to be a little more open to discussion, often very curious to say the least. Many of them are quickly becoming fans of using hormones to treat numerous other conditions normally left outside the hormone world and due to the success of such treatments and the lack of problems they entail this raises a lot of questions and doubts for them based on what they've been told by their elders.
Like I said, there is hope.
