Ever Appropriate for 18 year old to take Steroids?

[BigTex79]

I have a good friend who is currently in Junior College trying to make it to NCAA Division 1 football. At 18 years old, obviously he's too young to be taking steroids, but his argument for them is at least semi-compelling.

Basically, he says three things:
1) I might not ever make it out of Juco if I don't do something like this. That's why steroid use is so prevalent here.

2) If I don't use them now, I may never get the chance to because I will (hopefully) be NCAA-regulated. A lot of other kids used them in high school, so suddenly I'm at a disadvantage.

3) I'm not your typical 18 year old kid (He's sub-8% bodyfat at 6'1, 230 lbs. Linebacker who runs a sub-4.5 forty. In other words, not some puny kid looking for a shortcut)

Basically, what do I tell him?

tell him that steroids won't make you a good football player.

if it was that easy every juicer on this board would be in the NFL, gimmee a break.

Steroids make you bigger, stronger, and faster. Hes already big, strong, and fast, he just doesnt have the talent and skill to play d1. Steroids dont produce talent so tell him no. If he was good enough to play there he would have been recruited to play. I know people who where smaller than him and were getting scouted in 10 th grade by d1 schools because they were good. Im just being realistic, tell him to focus on accademics as thats his ticket to a better future. Like steve said if steroids made people better atheletes, hell Id be a probowl running back by now lol.

Tell him that if he takes roids it will fuck with his health and then it will make him a worse football player.

I wanna see a pic of this 18 yr old you're talking about, whos 8% bf at 6'1, 230 lbs.. So this 18yr old is the size of arnold, naturally? He's probably 25%+ and claiming 8%.. What a crock of shit..

And im sure this 18 yr old is yourself.

He is trying to look for excuses to legitimize steroid use at his young age, but the truth is that steroids are not going to be the difference between an awesome football player or not
