Far from true. Frequent use of steroids has serious health risks and pro athletes make heavy use of them. The number of knowledgable individuals that surround them don't mean anything since these athletes are live experiments. Monitoring blood and sugar levels, frequent exams, taking shields etc don't change the fact that frequent use of steroids and most kind of anabolics will damage your health. Andreas Munzer had individuals surrounding him but they didn't manage to prevent his death after the use of Erythropoietin. Griffith Joyner had the best doctors in her side and didn't manage to reach 40y.old.
Every people should be allowed to do whatever they want to their bodies like Dan Duchaine (the steroids guru) was doing....but that's all about it. By freely allowing steroids and anabolics in sports we pretty much force young people to follow this path. Sports are about improving your health, not harming your health.
