I totally understand where people are coming from about "cheating" in this manner.
The fear that young athletes will get involved in it is real.
But, the reality is that young athletes already know about this stuff and do things
that are more dangerous than drugs. For example, the sweat downs to make weight
for wrestling. I did some crazy stuff. That stuff will kill you before any steroid will, but
sweat downs are not against any rules or considered cheating.
On another angle; it's a fact that these "cheating methods" are showing scientist levels
of human tolerance that was not known before.
The possibility that one day some of these methods will be used to treat medical
patients to take them from disabled from a car wreck to back to work is something
that might be considered.
If I'm a doctor considering hormone treatment for a patient with multiple torn
muscles then I think the body builder has more accurate information than my
medical journal as far as how far I can push the patient with these drugs.
The journal will tell me the "safe amount"; the body builder will tell me the exact
amount.
