Steroids why take them?

You wont respect them until you take them. Most roid users dont just take steroids as soon as they start lifting. I lifted for 4-5 years before i even considered using them. I weighed the risks and decided it was something i wanted to do. There are side effects, but the gains arent something that occur rapidly unless your abusing them. They can be used safely, and my outlook on them is far from what it was when i was a teenager. The truth it's damn near impossible to find a top athlete today(in an aggressive sport) that isnt using some form of steroids/gh/peps. Our media says steroids kill people, they make your kill people and yourself...it's just not true. They have a bad rep because of what they've done in sports and our government uses our media to brain wash it's people into believing they're bad. How truthful is the media?

I dont recommend steroids to the everyday lifter, only to someone who wants to use them and is serious about the sport. My biggest pet peave is when someone rips on a pro athlete for using steroids saying the only reason they accomplished something or became a star was because of steroids. If you believe this your a f'n idiot. Athleticism and determination are what create superstars...steroids just keep them in the game longer.

You maybe right it is not because of steroids that an athlete is a top athlete however steroids helped him to become one ..maybe without then he could have done it too who knows ...but something for sure is that a natural talented top athlete will stay in the game longer and come out healthier.
unfortunately most steroids users are everyday gym lifters not pro athletes. and i believe that it is possible that a natural athlete can beat a steroid user at top level competions relying only on his talent and technique and i also believe if a proathlete choses the natural way and trains smartly and embracing
his natural talent he can be a better athlete than if took steroids. TAKE some basket ball and soccer players in the 70's , take boxers from thE 70s'a take track and field record holders from the 60's they all operated on talent and some where still unbeaten till now.
