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.

I do not think htat anabolic steroids should be used. However, even inthe above sited article, there is no real scientific evidence that the negative outcomes given as side effects from steroid use are truly the result of the use of the steroid. We now know that the East German women were given steroids. We nnow know that most of these women have had terrible medical problems. the data collected about the adminstration of steroids to these women, though is just now being analyzed.
We do not know that the incidental comments made about different people have any relationship to their exposure to steroids. But by saying this, I do not want anyone to believe that I think people shoudl take steroids. I am aware of one study currently being done with HIV people who have not had major health problems being given very small doses of anabolic steroids. the results will be very interesting. Also, supposedly, there was currently a study published about guinea pigs being given steroids. almost all of the pigs died from brain tunors. I wonder if maybe steroids are so dangerous that a true study would be very unethical?
