Steroids

Actually, it is imperative to use the scientific method when determining whether a toxic substance can cause injury and how it can cause the injury. There have been countless times in the past where comon sense has dictated one conclusion, when it turned out to be wrong. The other question is dose. Just about any substance is toxic if you are exposed to enough of it. For instance, water can cause death if you drink to much of it. Your example is far different than determining the effects of an exposure to a substance. In your example, there have been enough scientific tests to determine the outcome of such a fall, not to mention that there are no other factors that could cause the body to become demolished. However, the same cannot be said for side effects of exposure to a toxic substance. Unfortunately, many people think that so called common sense should over ride the scientific process. In fact, many doctors will readily jump to conclusion when the science is not there. This has lead to increasing compilations of junk science and misconceptions being perpetuated by the media. In fact, I have yet to see the media get it right yet. Having said all of that, my understanding is that there is evidence out there that suggests that excessive doses of testosterone will have harmful side effects on both sexes. It certainly would not be difficult to do an epi study to determine this either.
