I feel your story on young girls using steroids was irresponsible and just another attempt by the media to sensationalize the steroid issue. I have been in the sport of bodybuilding for 25 years and have been competitive for 20 years; nationally for 8 years and I do not know of or ever heard of any middle school girl much less high school (although this I can see possibly on a small scale) I asked my step daughter about it and she looked at me like I was crazy and she is in middle school.
The scale of steroid use compared to ecstasy and cocaine and alcohol in minute and not an area that needs a lot of focus in our schools. Alcohol use is far more a threat and an immediate one. Crystal methadone and heroin is exploding among our youth. These are the problems. These drugs will kill you today; far worse than a slightly deeper voice and some hair on a girls lip!
Steroids by and large used in small doses are reasonably safe even with long term use. Before1990 when our legislators in their imminently short sighted wisdom implemented the anabolic steroid control act which took AAS Anabolic / Androgenic steroids out of doctor’s hands and effectively created the internet black market for steroids. Thanks for making it easy for our computer savvy youth to trick a source who would not sell to a kid if they knew.(steroid users/suppliers are generally law abiding hard working people)We now have a new billion dollar a year drug market! Good job on thinking things through our esteemed law makers.
Lets look at the important issues…we have forgotten 9-11 for the most part. Our borders are lose and un-secure. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s comment was actually fairly accurate. We do need to close them and get a grip on this situation. The Hispanic communities threatening walk outs to sway politician’s decisions, should be allowed to go and be fired. That’s equal rights…I would be fired if I walked out of my job. Gov. Schwarzenegger should be most upset as he went through the proper channels and took the test to be here. Why should anyone else be different? That’s just one issue that needs covering.
I am sure you can think of more yourself. Taking one study and reporting it without any further research into the subject is irresponsible journalism in my humble opinion. If I were to go around and ask the same question and got an opposite report would you run it? I doubt it because it’s not “SENSATIONAL” it’s just the facts, the truth. Something many people I believe are desperately trying to find.
Sincerely,
