5 years ago I had gone to see a doctor for a skin rash I had developed and during his examination he was asking if I was taking any medication so I told him the truth ...That I was on steroids and told him which compounds I was taking ...
Do you know what he told me (I swear im not kidding) That steroids dont work and its all a placebo effect..he proceeded to find medical journals to justify his position. I didn't want to argue with this door knob so I said maybe you're right (at 230 pds 9% b/f he's right I'm wrong.. sure ok)
Needless to say I never returned to that doctor ever again but my point here is that there exists a lot of negative press and a lack of info on steroids and a lot of bogus information on our beloved sport. If the doctors we see dont have any valued info to contribute and the media tries to crucify us then all that is left are these boards, and not every board is as good as this one..
I say lets put up with the newbies and their dumb questions because eventually they will contribute something in the future either out of experience or trial and error, we've all been there but without forums like these we'd all lose out..
