"Wide
World of Sports"
By Jose Reyes 11/10/03
Welcome to the wonderful world of steroids, excuse me, I meant sports. Insert the word "Steroid" in the slot of your favorite search engine and a bombardment of muscle building websites will overcome your screen. Here you can find some of the most popular steroid alternatives on the market today. All the " testosterone-free" "non-drug" muscle mass producing formulas you need to "Get Big" quickly. There are several ways to administer these magical potions, take a pill or shoot it up. These types of non- steroids are produced by pharmacists. I see these muscle-bound characters and all the lettering of advertisement surrounding them and ideas of mistrust and drug pushing enter my mind. Who are the people purchasing these non- steroids? I don't know anybody who takes steroid substitutes, but a considerable amount of people are, because competition is very evident when looking over these websites. Be careful with the blinding light produced by the flashing advertisements and look at all the types of deals that are going on and find yourself a bargain. Take your pick and get an "Edge" without sweating it, literally speaking. Keep in mind while perusing the upcoming websites, steroids are illegal to sell in the US but are sold over the counter throughout Europe and Mexico.
Check these out: WWW.Steroids.com or WWW.Steroidworld.com or WWW.Anabolicstore.com or even this WWW.Mexicansteroids.com .
Note: Work yourself around carefully and read in between the lines, maneuver through the links and you will complete an in-depth "All you wanted to know about" crash-course on Real steroids. Find out; how expensive they are, how to administer them correctly, all the detection times and the names of the companies that produce them overseas. They inform you how dangerous they are for you and later on, in the same paragraph, direct the reader where to purchase "The Steroid Bible". Why provide all this important specific information, when they are illegal? Why don't they just direct the reader to the NIDA (National Institute of Drug Addiction) www.nida.gov or the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) www.fda.gov .
Medicinal Use
The FDA has approved anabolic steroids for specific diseases. Most of these diseases or deficiencies are chronic so the purpose of these steroids steer more towards relief of pain. These steroids are used for severe cases of Asthma, Arthritis. They are are also used for Muscular Dystrophy, AIDS wasting syndrome, Osteoporosis, severe Anemia, hereditary Angioedema, Metastic Breast Cancer, Corticosteroid induced Catabolism and Hormone deficiencies in Men and Women.
Steroid Abuse and Side Effects
Steroid use has many side effects, physical of course, but also emotional too and they usually show up when nothing can be done to reverse the harm they cause. For both Men and Females you have the following: High blood pressure and heart disease, liver damage and cancers, stroke and blood clots, urinary and bowel problems, such as diarrhea, headaches, aching joints and muscle cramps, nausea and vomiting, sleep problems, risk of ligament and tendon injuries, severe acne, especially on face and back, baldness. For Men only; Reduced sperm count, impotence, increase in nipple and breast size, enlarged prostate. For Women only; Reduced breast size, enlarged clitoris, increase in facial and body hair, deepened voice, menstrual problems. The emotional effects are pretty wild; Severe, aggressive behavior that may result in violence, such as fighting or destroying property, severe mood swings, hallucinations, paranoia, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, suicidal tendencies, very moody (angry and hostile).
May I add more on this giant pile of "Muscle-Mass Mierda", "What are these people thinking?", but, like the saying goes "It's all about the money". It's alright, I'll just exercise more and make less money. Steroids only can increase your strength. Agility and awareness cannot be improved with these horrific drugs. I'm glad for that good news because I was totally about to give up on sports. In teenagers the effects are even harsher, even with small doses adolescent middle grade and high school "kids" can stunt their growth immediately and can get addicted much quicker than adults.
In the world of sports today, the National Football League and Olympic athletes are being tested randomly and face strict punishment when snagged. Basketball and Hockey players are not tested for steroids and Baseball players will be next year as a result of recent experimental random tests performed, the steroid examinations showed that 5% of the Baseball players tested had various types of steroids present in their system. The baseball players who were tested were not of any significant status. As for Soccer, they are the strictest and are going to be retesting for THG, just in case they missed somebody. This Vincent Conte has really dented the integrity of professional sports in the world but I believe steroids will be conquered in the near future.
