Editor's Foreword
    I have been in the business of consulting bodybuilders and athletes since 1979. The first five years I spent teaching the holy gospel on the side effects and danger of steroids. I was totally against steroids in sports and the ideal that people have to use them to complete with the ones who use them by choice. Today, athletes are making Mega Bucks, million dollars contracts are being signed every day. After years with working with athletes, I have watch and learn three things about steroids and the demand for them. 1) Because of the amount of money that can be made in sports today, steroids will always be used, 2) Steroid users will always have the advantage over a non-steroid user, 3) People are fools if they think testing and keeping steroid illegal is the answer.

For Beginners
Every athletes who has to be in shape, train daily, get strength and size, and recover over night feels that they have the right to use these drugs if they choose.  If you think about it, we have the right to smoke, we have the right to alter our looks with cosmetic surgery, we have the right to take testosterone in enhance our sexually desires, we have the right to take growth hormones to fight aging, but we don't have the right to use anabolic steroid to enhance our performance or to advance in our careers.  Since they have make anabolic steroid illegal, I have seen more dangerous side effects, higher health problems, and more anabolic steroid use then when steroids were legal under medically care. The only thing that making this drug illegal did was make more money for drug pusher and increase the death rate. It is not the used of anabolic that are killing athletes, it is the lack of information, doctor supervision, and FDA approve anabolic steroids.  This Chapter in my web site is information on steroids obtained by athletes themselves who have used steroids successfully to obtain their goals and on Nutrition and keeping the body healthy.   Most of the information in this chapter attain from a book I wrote back in 1990 call "Anabolic, Training, and Nutrition Handguild".

 

  • The Steroid Story
    Anabolic steroids have been used as far back as World War II. Steroids were developed to assist malnutrition in P.O.W's to   regain lost strength and body weight. It wasn't until the 1950s that athletes started using steroids for muscle and strength building. The first athletes to use steroids were European and Russian athletes. During the 60s and 70s steroids became well known in the world of sports. In 1978 steroids testing had been a big topic in the eyes of sports. The first to be criticized and crucified were five European athletes, the results were the loss of their titles in a major competition that they probably trained all their lives for.  That same year, four Russian and one Bulgarian track and field athletes tested positive in urine samples for anabolic steroids. By the 80s steroids were commonly used by almost every top name athlete in the world of sports. Even women athletes at this point started to experiment with steroids. One by one, athletes become exposed by drug testing. One of the biggest scandals in sports history was in the 80s with field and track superstar Ben Johnson. Johnson was caught using anabolic steroids during the 1988 Olympic Games. When first approached, he had denied the used of drugs, but later tested positive for a steroid called Stanozolol (winstrol) and testosterone Cypionate (depo), which is used by athletes for cutting. When these two are stacked together, they are very effective for size, speed, and strength. It is widely used by veterinarians for race dogs and horses. Before he was caught he was idolized for being the fastest man on earth. Now he is known as the first Olympia athlete to use steroids to gain a title. Another superstar who was caught in the political war of drug testing was Tonya Knight of the IFBB (Women's professional bodybuilding) also fail a drug test during the 1989 Ms. International Bodybuilding Championships. Tonya had another competitor take a her urine sample in fear of being caught. But I think the biggest surprise of them all, was Mark McGwire. Mark McGwire using natural  "Performance Enhancer" such as Androstenedione and Creatine hit the headlines in every sport newspaper. He was crucify for using natural over-the-counter supplements to enhance his performance. This bad publicity was the talk in all sports competition. Soon these natural over-the-counter supplements were ban from most sports. Where is all this going to end? I personally don't think professionals should be tested, crucify, and their career destroy by the used of "Performance Enhancer" natural supplements or otherwise. More professional business people are dying from stress, smoking, alcohol, than professional athletes on steroids or using over-the-counter supplements.  And where are the advantages that a user will have over a non-user, when they are all using? To me this is just another copout. More infor on banned Steroids
 
Most of us think of anabolic steroids as a bodybuilding thing. Not so!  Steroids are being use in every sports; from high school swim team all the way up to well known basketball players. I spend over ten years working with trainers, coaches, and even parents on diets and cleaning programs that aid effects of steroids and counteract the side effects. During this time I have seen it all.  I have seen people turn and look the other way to steroid use. I have seen athletes paid good money for vitals of unmark liquid and injecting it in their body. I have known of drug dealers making lots of money selling sugar water and even urine in home made vitals so  uneducated athletes can inject it. To me this is the biggest crime.
