there isn’t a steroid epidemic in high schools.

the aim is to get it in their heads that steroids are ‘cheating’ at a young age in hopes that by the time they get to college they actually believe it and decline use. …not that i think its going to work.

Actually, one of the main reasons for steroid prohibition given during the hearings in the late 80’s and early 90’s was a perceived steroid epidemic among high school and even middle school students.

EDIT: Not disagreeing with your first point, but regardless the stated goal of the legislation was to end use in high school.

steroids were also legal during that time so why wouldn’t kids use them? i wasnt old enough to be using back then but im gonna guess that there wasnt a whole lot of information for good or bad being passed around about steroids then either.

This. This. THIS!!!

It is the same thing as when I got married and was 225 and fat, no one said anything about my diet or me being over weight. Now that I’m 230 and look like I lifted a weight or two, everyone is all concerned that I’m hurting myself with my diet. That my kidneys are failing, and that I’m going to hurt myself because I’m “lifting too much, too fast.”

I hate hypocritical bullshit.
