Off Subject, Steroid Debate

[Distortion]

I'm having a debate in school weather or not to legalize steroids for athletic and cosmedic use. If anybody has worthwhile information that can help me i'd appreciate it

here's a lil something i posted a few weeks ago. this was written in the latest Muscular Development:

"Do we throw people in jail for getting liposuction, buying a fancy suit of clothes, or taking birth control pills? Why do we criminilize people who take steroids to improve their appearance or physical performance. Dr. Sidney Gendin made a pitch for legalizing steroids in an article on meso-rx.com (Dec. 7, 2001) Most sports federations call steroids cheating. Yet they allow the use of supplements that claim to work as well as steroids. They also allow training techniques, such as weight training and plyometrics, that can hardly be called "natural" activities. Steroids are banned because they're dangerous. However, the side effects of these drugs are much less severe than those from smoking and drinking. People have been taking these drugs for more than 40 years. Yet, we haven't seen the landslide of heart attack and cancer deaths predicted to the steroid Cassandras. The U.S. is supposed to be a free country. What right do lawmakers have to ban a drug that affects nobody but the user? Perhaps, it's time for the government and sports federations to lift the ban on steroids and allow people to be all they can be."

Do a study on 100 drinkers, 100 smokers, 100 obese people, and 100 steroid users.

Then tell me why, if steroids are scheduled drugs, then why not cigaretts, alcohol, and fast foods.

I agree with nautica and think fast food should be illegal. Its doing more damage to americans than anything else.

Over 350,000 deaths related to obesity last year alone. Smoking was a close second. Anabolics, well, there has not been one documented case yet, but - we are still juicing.

my thought has always been that it is bull shit you can go to any Dr. and say look I am a fat as and dont want to diet and they will give you pills that will help you lose weight. now go to that same Dr. and say I am a skinny little bitch I have busted my ass four years and cant get big can you help. then they would try to tell you that your diet is wrong and give you a coppy of a food perimid to fallow. I also dont understand why it is educated medical people that will tell you that steroids will do all this harm to you and kill you but then they give test to old men as a replace ment and give gear to aids patients My guess is that most of us on this board have boddies that could handle chemical that truley are deadly much better than a 70 year old man or a person that has aids.

It is not neccessarily the doctors fault. AAS are schedule III controlled substances, which can NOT be prescibed for cosmetic or athletic purposes. Therefore, they can NOT prescribe them for that purpose, even if they do not see the harm.
