Re: Fox News Special "Truth About Steroids" - Elite Members Interviewed - watch the clip!
Rick Collins and I both spoke with them. And I know member AlanChiras did too. No one agreed to go on camera. I really hope that the kid they found for the show did not come from Elite.
We also know they used Elite for extensive research and frequented the Boards.
The main problem I have with what Fox has done is that it will likely have the exact opposite of the intended effect. Steroids don't lead to suicide and anyone with half a brain knows this. There are MANY good reasons why teens should NOT take steroids. But if the media lies to them and uses scare tactics, IMHO it will only have the opposite effect because they lose all credibility.
And the fact the Bush Sr. criminalized steroids means that adults who make a personal decision to use steroids for cosmetic purposes cannot work with a doctor as they could if they were pursuing liposuction, botox, or other esthetic procedures -- all of which have inherent risks.
Cornobbled said:I want to know who else they talked to from elite and if those interviews are included in the special. Who did they talk to George?
