Hunks on steroids might look strong on the outside, but many have shrivelled up testicles and a diseased heart.

Read this earlier.

"Of the 24 steroid-related deaths his team studied, all were men and the average age was 32. All but one took other drugs as well as steroids."

"Two thirds died from accidental drug poisoning, close to 17 per cent committed suicide and 12.5 per cent were killed by someone else."

- seems like a fairly limited study?

I like how the anchor says how steroids have surpassed heroin in Australia like its a bad thing.
How is a hormone that helps grow some muscle, recovering better, and, if not used by a complete moron, not at all dangerous worse for society than heroin?! I'll never understand the ban on steroids, or any other drugs for that matter. If you can use any drug without hurting others, have at it, Hoss!

Wait, wut? 66% + 17 +12.5 = 95.5% died by something other that "teh steroid!" In a sample size of 24, that means a single person out of the whole study could credibly claim to have died due to steroids. What a bullshit study.

In some Australian states you can get 25 years in jail for possession of steroids

In the UK you can punch someone and kill them or drink drive and wipe out as whole family and walk out in less than 4 years.

The above are based on two well publicised cases.

What if you did them under the influence of steroids?
