I'm very indifferent personally, I was involved in power-lifting for about 3 years solid, and the temptation is truly great, even in so called amateur "natural" competitions, everyone was on the gear, test, HGH, Insulin etc....I think if you want to do it then great, do it, just make sure you know the risks, personally I chose to never touch the stuff, having seen the long term and short term health risks, I weighed it all up and decided it wasn't for me, but I don't judge people that do use, just the idiots that think gear and gear alone will help them get the results they want, me and a lot of the guys used to piss ourselves laughing at those twats, you can spot em a mile off! No clue about diet/training/genetics and so on.
The problem with steroids (and the people that use them in large quantities) is that the effect is psychologically addictive, you realize what is achievable with x y and z steroid at whatever dose, think fuck this is great, how great would it be if I took a b c with x y z and then upped the dose just a little bit.....and i'm sure you can see where that leads, especially in sports where the level of competition is so intense.
