Sam excellent post. This is exactly what should be done. I don’t think steroids should be in sports either(except body building). No one should have to take roids to compete with someone that does. That is not right. But it is also not right to limit individuals who want to use roids for reasons other than sports.
I think as much money that is in sports they can afford to have mandatory drug testing for participants. They could also let doctors prescribe them(for body building) that should help keep them out of the hands of young users.
Mssmith,
The topic is on why roids are illegal. I think it is because of sports with the “so-called” health risks as the reason for the illegality. I mean why doesn’t the govt just come out and say since this country is so preoccuppied with sports we are going to make roids illegal to keep sports totally fair. At least that would be honest. But to say that roids are bad because of health reason is just total hyprocracy when you have tobacco and alcohol legal.
Guin,
Tell ya why I used “thing” is because I hate the term “penis”. I don’t why but I do. I think it sounds weird and perverted for some reason. I wish they would change the medical term to pecker or dick heck even tallywag sounds better than penis.
Yes, I agree there is nothing wrong with diet and exercise I am doing both(5 or 6 times a week 90minutes+ per workout). You see I don’t mind lifting weights but to get looking pretty buff(you know like my goal of looking like the dudes playing volleyball in Top Gun) takes about 2 years. I don’t think I could keep up with my present regimend(sp) for two years(frankly, I think I would die :eek: ).
But roids make the same body in about 8 to 10 weeks the probably 2 years of working out will do. Not saying you don’t have to work out hard on roids. You probably have to work harder. But the roids give you more stength to lift heavier and it cuts down on recovery time.
So roids get you to the same goal faster. Look at it this way a horse and buggy is a safer way to travel than a car but why do you take a car because it gets you there faster.

Well, I think that answers your point. People spend thousands of dollars on tickets, jerseys, tshirts etc on sports do they not? And what about the huge amounts of time they spend neglecting their families while they become totally unhealthy couch potatos watching somebody run a pig skin to the other side of a line or throw a ball through a hoop.
Listen, obviously, I don’t care that much about team sports. I like individual extreme sports like wakeboarding and motorcross(btw I do both of these I just don’t watch). Different strokes for different folks right. But what bothers me is they made something that shouldn’t be illegal illegal because of something that other people care about.
But on the otherhand maybe you were just making fun because I put a “c” in the word. Whoops! Glad to have the English teacher back to help keep me in line. I also put sports in caps because I was yelling it.
