Congress - HGH - & Professional Athletics

[mrplunkey]

Great thread but plunk you're forgetting that people play these sports because theyre fun and a possibility of a high payout for short term work and also free schooling. They put aside future physical problems on the back burner. No high schooler is turning down a scholarship because they may have back problems or joint issues.

I agree. Sports start as fun and entertainment. As today's kids enter high school, it becomes a part-time job. Then as they enter college, players are completely consumed by their sport in virtually all the premier programs.

As players progress into professional sports, they should have the option to participate in a physician-supervised AAS program. These programs are perfectly legal, but are supposedly prohibited by professional sports (despite their obvious widespread use). Considering all existing downstream risks a professional player assumes, the consequences of responsible steroid use is negligible.

I'm the guy who is all-for the legalization of drugs, as long as I don't have to subsidize them. Professional athletes with the means to participate in a physician-supervised program should (I'm sure there will be exceptions) also have the means to deal with the downstream consequences as well (i.e. the NFL Retirement Health Benefit Plan).

Don't get his hopes up.

Even if I was gay for you I woudln't have my hopes up with your erectile dysfunction.

It's either all in or nothing on that one...if one does it everyone has to do it. You just don't get that you can't promote an environment that "forces" people to subjugate their natural hormone production. And then once it's physician supervised they'll augment with even more use, and yes we know that at certain points these guys will start dropping on the field cause their hearts will explode.....and you can physician supervise as much as you want, that's gonna happen. These guys will be popping anadrol right before the game....i mean are you kidding me? Have you thought ANY of this through or are your fingers just punching keys?

Wow!

I guess it's a good thing none of the NFL players use AAS now then.

and the only reason why all of em don't do it is because there's a risk factor of getting suspended for 4 games for the first offense. I don't have a problem with those guys that do use because they're running the risk of getting caught, there is an immediate downside to what they're doing. Shawn Merriman was the never the same after he got busted for Deca, when he came back he was a shadow of his former self. Guys see that and know that if you play with it and get burnt, you get burnt real bad. Take away that check and everybody starts doing it guys have zero choice in the matter. On the surface it sounds like a good thing for everyone including the fans, we get to see our guys back out on the field sooner....but the downsides start when the guys start taking more roids on their own outside of the doctors prepscriptions. I will agree with you on one thign, when a dude is rehabbing an injury he should be allowed to use whatever is at his disposal. But once he's back out there it's back to a level playing field. Otherwise these guys will push and push each other till one of em has his heart blow up on him on the field. It "WILL" happen. This rationalization should work even on the distant quasar you're from.

I get it now! It's just like how we can't make pot legal for the general public because then even more people would use it. And like you said... "And then once it's physician supervised they'll augment with even more use".

So professional atheltes with the means to deal with downstream effects of AAS = forbidden!

Potheads, some of who will lack the means to deal with downstream effects of pot = anything goes!

It must be fun on your planet.

And if testosterone leads to anadrol then clearly pot leads to heroin.

Good times!

 

[PICK3]

Even if I was gay.

ololololol! @ "if"

ummm no, not if you knew anything in the slightest about the comparison you were making. Stop talking about what you don't have a clue. I'm pretty sure there's some people on the board who might be able to verify just how far from weed heroin is. And I can personally vouch for how close test and dbol/drol are.

You make one stupid statement right after another.
