I was offered a presciption for steroids in 1952. I went to the library and found out what they were and I told my doctor no.
I knew all kinds of athletes who took them I don't think any one really benefitted from their use.

Wonder if steriods and such were a contributing factor to Flo Jo's death at such a young age. Her times in the 100 m and 200 m dashs from 1988 are still womens world records.
Was she just not caught?

But soemtimes just being inthe sport has long term negative health effects. Most swimmers have at least soem problems with their shoulders and wha about some *** strokeers who have really messed up knees & backs? How do we know what causes certain problems.
