: I'm 21 and been on juice since I was 15. I started in response to immense peer pressure and coaches continually rasing their expectations. They would always say, you must run faster, jump higher. I just couldn't handle it anymore man; I had to do something. I went to a guy at my gym who was always pressuring everyone to use juice. At this gym you were ostracized if you weighed less than 250 and objected to any form physiological enhancements vis a vis chemicals. The steroids have worked well; my weight has jumped at times up to 260. However the side effects are terribly frightening. I have hair emenationg from every surface and orifice on my entire body. I get massively violent mood swings in response to things such as old ladies driving slowly. My systolic blood pressure has been elevated up to 230 mmHg which in turn caused a massive rupturing of a blood vessel near my optic chiasma (I am now 25% blind). Moreover, I have suffered from severe anaphylactic reactions several times which almost cost me my life. My gluteus medius and maximus have at times been saturated with puss due to abcesses secondary to IM injections. Why do I continue in spite of this horror? This is a deep question which requires investigation of the psyche of us dedicated athletes. We can't handle the ever rising expectations of the public. Our coaches suggest we put on quantities of weight which are unattainable in the natural state. My father has also expected me to perform at high levels throughout my entire life. I remember playing hockey and the parents were more fervent about the game than the players. You are all driving us to self destruction. The pressures are too immense and we, being only human, succumb to the temptation posed by steroids. Popularity, success, college scholarships etc.You have created a generation of athletes bent on killing themselves for the sake of a plastic trophy. Its too late for us now, we can't turn back. All of us bodybuilders are sick and near death but we will go on; we must, for our society expects us to.
