:mjlol: No offense brother, but the sanctimonious belief you're touting is the same held by most casual sports fans and it exposes their naivete. Most college athletes take shyt, even high school athletes take shyt. The athletes saying that are full of shyt and probably take PEDs themselves. It's all a huge fukking game and the coaches, the medical personnel, the front office, and the league office(s) are in on it, too.


There is nothing wrong with taking drugs to enhance recovery. Everyone does it, the only ones that get caught are too dumb to pass the tests. The leagues put up this phony image like they care when in reality they know their entire fortune would be obliterated if these drugs were truly prohibited. Don't believe the hype; they're pretending to crack down on this shyt.

You notice how tons of guys are getting busted for ADD meds or stims? That's a horseshyt lie put out by the league's PR. They probably got caught with heavier shyt like testosterone or HGH, but Adderall doesn't sound as scary. Remember when Roger Mathis got caught using Clomid (an AI that guys use when they get off a cycle)? He got a little slap on the wrist and nothing happened. It's all nonsense.

This is just the reality of sports. The romanticized Sports Illustrated illusion I once believed was shattered the older I got and the more I got involved in fitness. Weightlifting and football go hand-in-hand and it's no surprise most of these guys take similar shyt.

In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong morally with taking PEDs. Nothing. The legal supplement industry makes billions selling bunk, do-nothing nonsense for the same intention--you know, to enhance sports and fitness performance--but because it's "natural" (aka, it doesn't do jack shyt) somehow it makes it okay, but god forbid people take drugs that can actually improve their lives.

Are there inherent risks? Absolutely. But the drugs are a lot safer when carefully managed/monitored than most people think.

The thing is, you're making some huge generalizations and are quite frankly exaggerating.

I ran track in college(division 1), and I never took any shyt, and I know a lot of other athletes that didn't either.

Now i'm not naive, I realize a lot of people take hgh or whatever, but honestly some athletes don't have to take anything. Or those that would benefit simply choose not to.

It's really easy for people to go on these grand exaggerations and think everyone is on something.

I don't know what you look like, but honestly it's usually fat dudes and nonathletic dudes who make all these huge exaggerations about everyone more ripped than them, or faster than them being on something. It's a rationalization mechanism to save their ego.

Point being, there's a lot of professional and collegiate athletes that really don't take any of that shyt.

shocking, I know.

I'm 5'8", 175, I have a sub-45 resting heart rate, and I lift and run 4-6 times a week.

I was talking more in the realm of the NFL or high attrition sports not track or endurance sports, but plenty of those guys take stuff too.

Is the college bowling team taking shyt? Probably not. Are the cross country guys? Probably not. Are the basketball players? I'd venture to say zero.

Ok, but how about the football players? :usure: Even if they were would they even admit it? :ehh: Who knows, but I don't think so.

I also admit every team is different. My friends' and my experiences are vastly different from yours.

I played at two Div one schools for football and I would say a good percentage of dudes were on roids and encouraged to take them by coaches. I only took them for a summer to recover quicker from surgery. I was a 4.45 ish 40 and 200 pounds. I was out the outside edge of getting a few invites to NFL camps before my injury. I can say if I went back in time I wish I juiced to see how far that could have taken me. My body is already so fukked from 10 years of football and concussions.

Why does this just come down to a physical/ health thing? If your playing a pro sport, you obviously have invested most of your life towards it and there should be a part of you that loves the game. If you get caught using, you lose the respect of your peers, fans if you personally, fans of the team, you become a social villain they nobody respects. Not to mention passing that negative energy off to your children and your family. All the work you put in could be pulled from under you easily but your only talking about it from a financial point of view which is super un-realistic. Don't guys that use start using once they have made pro? Money does not equal happiness

A lot of this depends on the sport, of course. Percentage of users in football is obviously much higher than in basketball or baseball. Of course there will always be anomalies like Herschel Walker who are just so physically gifted, but the majority of professional football players are not like him. There are always exceptions to the rule and the rule is that steroids are pervasive from the elite high school players all the way up to the big leagues.

i'm seeing nothing but yes's so why do nikkas outrage /suspect when players like Lebron or A-rod do it? :wtf:

The Bron shyt is jokes/Kobe lust. People just don't like ARod breh :heh:. I have never met a person in real life spouting this PED bullshyt...it's completely media driven. Fans stopped coming to games after the strike. Baseball was in trouble. After the PED shyt broke nary a fukk was given outside of the aforementioned media. shyt even greats such as Bob Gibson and Willie Mays said they would try it if had been available in their time. The guys in their era were popping greenies (amphatimines) like candy. So really all this comes down to is reporters experiencing anal discomfort over their gods being passed up.

This is absolute horseshyt. Unless you're taking like Mr. Olympia level doses of drugs you're not going to drop dead and even some of those dudes are still alive

There's so many different kinds of PEDS out there. Yeah, taking cheap prohormones or bunk shyt that most gymrats take is toxic as fukk for your liver and dries out joints, but there's plenty of high-grade shyt that helps athletes exceed their natural limits and recover faster from injuries than naturally possible.

I'm convinced the entire NFL is on shyt same with the NHL. If your livelihood depends on your body and it's the difference from being LeBron James or some bum playing Ukraine, you bet your ass I'm hopping on some shyt.

Exactly. The media gets people all hyped like this shyt is super deadly.

Just to further clarify my post, I would do then but I wouldn't feel good/be proud about it. And wouldn't be trying to break records and be the best in the sport. I would concede all that shyt. I would just want to be there for the money.


I'm naturally very prideful but I would lose all that if I used peds.

I'm 27 by a younger me would've prolly said no a decade ago but knowing what I know now I'm not ashamed to say I would use performance enhancing drugs
