I really can't figure out why steroids should be such a big deal and be kept out of professional sports and the Olympics. It is estimated that only 1-10% of Olympic steroid using athletes are actually caught. Yet, the Olympic committee still has uber-draconic methods of trying to catch athletes.

Here's the thing, and pay close attention, because as crazy as this sounds, most people don't know this. Are you ready? STEROIDS DON'T MAKE ANYONE STRONGER OR FASTER. They don't, they improve one's ability to recover, they raise one's maximum muscle carrying capacity (not by a lot either), and they allow your body to assymilate more of the food you eat.

Here's the thing, athletes use all sorts of equipment, training techniques, supplements, food, etc., to improve and gain an advantage over their competitors. Greeks used to eat lion's hearts in hopes of gaining the lion's strength and courage. How is that any different from an athelte taking 1-test, Deca, or D-bol? In the last summer Olympics, an American swimmer competed using a top secret super slippery swimsuit. Didn't that give her an "unfair advantage"?

You could argue health issues, but most people don't know anything about steroids, let alone what the possible side effects can be. So one can't really argue against something that they know literally nothing about. If there is a qualified MD working with an athlete and coach, why shouldn't an athelete be allowed to use anything at their disposal to help increase their potential? When we go to see an athelete, we want to see the fastest, strongest, etc. So why should we put such a stigma on them for bringing us exactly what we're asking for?
