WRONG, they give them cortico- steroids (not the same thing) and in fact that was years ago. Stop posting shit you know nothing about.
Why attack the messenger? Study some physiology, anatomy and stuff like that. It's not a matter of my being right, that's just the way things are. The body has all kinds of regulating processes, positve and negative, intentionally throwing them off upsets the balance. If someone starts using one or two things to grow muscle, something else to restore natural testosterone production, something else to remove water, something to cause erections, something for pain, someting to protect the liver, etc... you're creating an ideal environment for muscle growth at the expense of "normal" physiology. You also might want to take into account that some people are never really off cycle and their bodies don't get a break.
I'm not making any judgements on people at all. I'd much rather look at pics of Dina's beautiful booty or talk crap about "Bluto's" lust for man-meat than simple physiology. Those things fun and a break from my normal life. I'm mainly here for workout help and breaking balls.
In the same vein, it's irresponsible to pretend that steroid use has no risks just so people don't feel bad. It's sort of like cigarrette smoking.
