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?

Last night on The Family guy rerun, Death came after Peter. When Death is chasing Peter, he says somehting like "What you think you can outrun me. Hey, I caught Flo Jo." Truly a great line.
I just read an article on steriods in a very old Lancet. It remarked that repeative injuries in certain sports appear to be related to form but it needs to be relooked at becasue "strength" from steroids covers up bad form.
