AAS part of the equation?

[RusPA81]

It is my personal belief that in this day and age it is necessary to use AAS to get to the top. I believe that the majority of athletes in all sports, both major sports and smaller sports like the Olympics use AAS once they reach the highest level. I think there is reason why certain countries always win the most medals in international competitions and that because they can afford better training and supplements. In major sports like baseball, football etc., it think that use is widespread is as well. Once one person starts to use, the next person has to as well in order not lose a competitive advantage. This is especially true when millions of dollars are at stake and those that do not perform will simply not have a job. Just my opinion.

Ok, let's think small....when's the last time you've competed at a national level competition?

If this is addressed to me, then never. The question that was asked however, i believe was about competing at a high level which is why I answered in that regard.

Then how can you speak about what it takes to get to the top? Not to be disrespectful to you at all, I just want to know how you can make opinions on issues that you have no experience with.

I never said that I knew this. All that I said was thats what I personally think. I have really no evidence to base this on. However it is a known fact that high level athletes use AAS. I was just saying that I think a lot of them do.

I agree that a lot of athletes at the top do use AAS, but it is not necessary. Again, it's patience and longevity.

there's something about juice that makes me think of 'cheating'.

On the other hand, you aren't competing on a level playing field in this case.. if you are all nat. and your opponent is Juiced up - you really can't compete.

hmm.. what I think i'm saying is it's a moral situation that each person needs to evaluate individually. I wouldn't dream of criticizing someone for doing it, but it's not for me.

You don`t have to go to the moon to know about it. I`ve never used but I know that you NEED it to compete in WORLD CLASS levels. I`m not talking about going to the gym and using to get 20" arms, I`m talking about world class -PERFECT physiques.

let`s see baseball players use it, soccer players, FEMALE TENNIS PLAYERS, let alone thousands of teens probably in all the highschools... lol but not the WORLD ELITE because they have the best genetics? They have great genetics AND USE because the guy behind him IS USING TO GET THE EDGE.

Exactly my point.

I think it depends on a person's goal.

My goal should by all means be achievable without AAS. Because of that, if I used them, I would feel like I were cheating.

Now, if my goal were to be 240 and ripped or the top national powerlifter, then there is little chance I can achieve either without AAS. Then I wouldn't feel like I were cheating.
