GO! Smell the drug enhanced flowers!

March 12th, 2008 by Jim

Flowers bring this topic back into the garden - the use of performance enhancing drugs in sport.

Do share your views on steroids or we’ll get the hulk onto you. Does ‘roid rage’ actually exist, side or no effects and is it any ‘worse’ for us humans than cigarettes and alcohol?

I’ll sit back and wait for this one……….

BUT

the poster is incorrect

as steroids are injected intramuscularly not intravenously

injecting oil into veins could induce pulmonary embolism and rapid death.

I think the poster should also have read “you’re still a carrot top” not “your still carrot top”
In order to poke fun you do need to be correct and on the ball yourself.

Interesting Dad, perhaps medical steroids are adapted so they can be administered intravenously?

I am sure that picture is of a woman who took too many steroids and now looks more like a man, facial hair and all.

It is your own choice if you want to use steroids.. If you want to fuck up your own body be my guest!
ps. the picture does look like a woman who took to many drugs!

Oh. OK.

ok!

first off the picture is I believe of a US comic called ‘carrot top’ who has done a course of gear.

bottom line

steroids are medicines proven to work for a number of illnesses. where they come into their own is when used on a healthy adult the body can go far and beyond what it could achieve without them.

there is lots of misinformation about them. bottom line alcohol is much more dangerous

as for the aesthetic look of a roid user- its such a personal opinion but it is more offensive than the emaciated look of today or the morbidly obese? I think not.

plus people using tend to eat well, exercise well and generally look after themselves better.

as for roid rage. its nonsense. but f you are an arsehole before taking them you will be one after just a much bigger, stronger and more confdent idiot.

and I defy anyone to name a physical sport where their use is not rampant.

I personally wouldn’t take steroids (I look bad enough as it is, and if the picture above is anything to go by….), but I respect the right of people to do that to themselves, if they want to.

I don’t think the issue here should neccessarily be carrot tops steroid usage but rather his over zealous use of a cosmetic surgeon.

Hey - where would we be without steroids?

Would California have a Governor?

Would professional wrestling even be on TV?

Would my penis still be this small?

Hmmm…maybe steroids ARE bad after all.

Whoda thunk it.

where would you be?

you’d have no american football

you’d have not seen a world record get broken in 30 years

people wouldn’t recover from burns

or aneamia

and like it or not you’d ave little in the way of physical aspiration for many people

Comment by Lib
2008-03-12 17:56:18

Doesn’t the fact that steroids have been involved take the shine off the whole world record thing?

Unless each world record had been broken aided with steroids, there is no consistency.

I’d be amazed if any world record of the last 30 years poss 40 years were broken without the aid of enhancement

plus you’ve got other drugs like EPO, HGH, IGF-1, plasma expanders like Manitol, blood doping

and this is just stuff I am aware of- so the people who are cutting edge now will be well past this stuff.

drug free or clean REALLY just means ‘had the chemical knowledge to pass/mask the test’

And this is in practially every sport

boxers use halotestin and methyltest, anavar, winstrol
us footballer - lots of test and trenbolone
rugby lads- live on test, hgh and equpoise
football players- hgh and nandrolone phenyprop

I could go on but its just the tip of the iceberg

also whenver you see an athlete with a foreign ‘coach’ or ‘nutritionist’ erm he’s the guy doing the athletes gear program

Is the genital shrinking a myth?

Anyone?

Comment by Urban Pagan

complete

the testes suffer temporary atrophy as they are no longer required

but the dea your old man shrinks is nonsense

Comment by aussiecynic

Its not that it shrinks its that it stops working… same effect really useless……. just hangs arounds with nothing much to do…… no battery compartment :cool:

Does the use of steroids cause bad editing? I despise it when “you’re” and “your” are used incorrectly.

If as UP states everyone’s doing it then as usual it’s the best cheaters that are winning/breaking records - so make it legal.

2008-03-13 16:56:02

thats largely my point AEP

if all were given free reign to use the drugs they wish then it would come down to training and genetics. as it is it can now come down to who has the best drug programme in addition to the other factors
