In Response To: Re: steroids and powerlifting (Jon Heisinger)

You know, I'm not against steroid use. I am against steroid use in drug free powerlifting federations. After all, aren't steroids legal with a prescription?

I am also against abuse of steroids; to the point they harm the physical body; joints, organs, etc.

With close physician and lab monitoring; safe dosages; steroids could be okay for strength and muscle building purposes. Although, I think during the 1990s the US gov't banned steroid use for stregnth and muscle building purposes?

I don't know about the gov't banning things; once a thing is banned it becomes unregulated. People have to go to the black market; and a lot of users; for fear of being caught by the gov't will hide their use and not get proper lab work done; won't get monitored by a physician. Plus; if the source isn't reliable, one could just be buying junk.
