Rob Huizenga, former team physician for the Los Angeles Raiders describing cleaning out Lyle Alzado's stash with his wife -
"She brought in an entire shopping bag chock full of every conceivable bulking concoction. There were thousands of dollars worth of Genentech growth hormone vials, all interestingly enough marked "No Sale," meaning they were samples off some pediatric endocrinologist's shelf, or else stolen from an ongoing drug trial.
There were five types of oral anabolic steroids and sixteen types of injectable steroids, some of them veterinary with pictures of horses on the boxes. The labels were from West Germany, East Germany, France, Mexico, Italy, and the U.S.A. There was extract from pregnant women's urine that prevented the testicles from shrinking. There was an estrogen hormone blocker, tamoxifen, prescribed typically for women who have had breast cancer to help prevent a recurrence, but used by weight lifters to try to prevent "bitch tits"—the painful swellings and breast enlargement resulting from partial conversion of steroids into estrogen.
There was thyroid medicine. There was pain medicine. There was an asthma medicine from Canada, rumored to increase strength. There were boxes of syringes. There were pads of papers with various "stacking" schemes—schemes for taking handfuls of different steroids simultaneously, in hopes of more muscle and fewer side effects.
About half the drugs had come from the refrigerator; the rest had been hidden under the kitchen sink, in the bathroom, under the
bed, and behind Lyle's trophies. Some small-town pharmacies don't have this selection of drugs."
That's how you steroid to win.
