So when did being completely ignorant become the pastime of the majority? I went to dinner last night and with the opening of the Olympics the conversation turned to drugs sport etc.
Now my view on roids is that my body my choice but with some significant caveats. First I believe that there is clear medical justification for replacement test for a man. In saying that one has to be mindful of potential causality to prostrate cancer but hey if I went down that route I would review the evidence. Second I don't want anyone to be using the gear if they haven't exhausted their genetic potential first and take it from me its rare to run across naturals in your average gym that are anywhere close to potential.
So there I am at dinner and the prevailing view was that drugs need to be stamped out of the Olympics as it is morally wrong. In an ideal world I think that is both a virtuous and idealised view.
Unfortunately the obvious retort is "wake the fuck up". Since at least the 84 'McDonald' Olympics the event has far from resembled the idealistic view of amateurs striving to be their best. Fuck that, the genie is out of the bottle and the Olympics is big business where many athletes will do or take whatever is required.
Here is my proposition I don't care what a small percentage of elite athletes stick in their bodies. I prefer finite tax dollars to be spent targeting meth addicts that break into my house looking for money to pay for their habits. In fact it is stupid to spend millions of dollars targeting a drug when bee stings in the USA kill more people per year than steroid related deaths.
In fact as John Romano once stated elegantly if the roids are so dangerous where are all the damn bodies!
So I must say it was an eye opener to understand still how ignorant most people are on how the gear works though most disappointing to see that ignorance and myth is alive and well!
Stay Strong
