Steroid Propaganda!!! WTF!!

[StickFigure]

WTF??!?!? Everywhere I turn, radio, TV, newspaper, magazines, etc..., the ignorant media and public are reporting the most outrageous stories about this person or that doing something stupid or croaking because of steroids! Where do these idiots get there info?? You read or hear this shit and it makes ya just want to slap the crap out of 'em!
Even on Law & Order last night, there was an episode about a ball player who freaked out and killed his best friend and they blamed it on his steroid use.
Tell me this, "Why is a society that is SOOO performance driven SOOO against performance enhancing chemicals??"
You know, every day, doctors are giving older guys "Testosterone Replacement Therapy", WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE??!?!!?!?
These people need to pull their heads out of their asses!

Why are you so surprised? Its the stigma of cheating and "getting ahead unfairly" that drives the propoganda machine. Throw in a nice dose of jealousy and youve got all the misinformation and bias you need for a good news story.
Think Enron......

jealousy does drive some people to do some stupid shit that is for sure.

I guess it's not that I'm surprised, it just pisses me off that the bullshit is soooo deep!
And the only reason a lot of people think it's cheating and unfair is 'cause they are afraid to try them because of all the misinformation.
What a vicious cycle.

I highly doubt that any of the media propaganda is fueled by jealousy. It's more of a witch hunt. Back in the day, anything that wasn't commonly understood was looked at as evil and people were pursecuted for it. Same thing here, there is an evil stigma around steroids because the image that gets conjured up in most peoples head is that of a Marcus Rhul or Ronnie Coleman. Unfortunately as gifted as those guys are, the amounts of aas that they have to be on is unhealthy.

And unfortunately,

It will always be that way!

It's always easier to blame steroids then to learn the truth

We all know...abuse anything and bad things will happen. It's that simple.

Best defense is knowledge.

Notice how we'll never see a law and order show where a sexual predator enables himself to rape by taking a Viagra before going on the prowl.

That's because viagra users are portrayed as older "victims" of erectile dysfunction -- never mind the fact that the young guys are popping them like tic-tacs so they can turn-up amazing sexual performances on demand.

We need to keep pointing to the 30+ "victim" with low testosterone levels who's just fighting to maintain his physical, mental and sexual well-being. The legitimate users of steriods make our case -- then we are just negotiating the degree of need as we dip into the more fit people using super-physiological doses.

I agree it is more of a witch hunt than jealousy but, I do not believe I would compare it to enron.
