STEROIDS MAKE YOU A BETTER ATHLETE
This pisses me off more than anything. Athletes who are competent, hard working and intelligent in the areas of diet and training utilize the muscle building, tissue repair and strength increasing properties of AAS (HGH, Peptides, insulin all included as well).
If you take a shitty athlete with shitty work ethic you don’t get jack out of any cycle.
If you take a great athlete with shitty work ethic you come out with the same athlete, MAYBE a little leaner, little stronger.
If you take a great athlete with impressive work ethic and knowledge of training and diet, then your going to have a bigger, faster, and stronger athlete than before. Using new physical tools to apply athletically.
Drugs do not put players in the NFL. They keep them around longer.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, assholes who use steroids as a Magic bullet in place of knowledge and hard work aren’t getting any advantage anyway.
Being born with NFL or MLB genetics is the same as playing the lotto, its not up to you. Someone who lakes the natural athleticism and uses ass busting work and AAS to catch up to the luckier guys is more deserving than someone who has talent they don’t have to work for.
Because in the end, AAS users will still be dwarfed by the better athletes at some point. This is how I see it anyway.

Look Clemens nobody is accusing you here, just let it die…j/k
I have to call bullshit on this though. steroids most definitely make you a better athlete. Why the fuck would olympic/pro athletes take them if they didn’t. I think you need to define “makes you a better athlete” if you mean coordination or the ability to make a jump shot I don’t think it will do crap.
If you mean the ability to win through improved strength and endurance I think it is a very big factor. It won’t make a huge difference but in a game of inches or seconds it is the difference between 1st place or last place, a home run or a fly out, a touchdown or a goaline stop. It’s not going to make a shitty athlete an olympian but it can give that little competitive edge to someone that is the difference.
