There’s a lot more information out there about steroids effects than there used to be. I’ve been researching at http://steroids-effects.com and I’m worried about what steroid use could do to young people trying to be like these pros.

I don’t think it’s the athlete’s health people are concerned about so much as the unfair advantage steroids are thought to provide. Unlike physical therapies and surgeries which seek to improve a problem, steroids only seek to unnaturally enhance strength. Unlike nutritional supplements, which will do NADA for a person who isn’t dedicated to also staying in shape through exercise, steroids are a quick fix that require no personal effort.

I’m not saying steroids aren’t dangerous and I certainly wouldn’t want my children to take them.

My point is, why should we care if professional athletes are harming themselves? It’s there choice. And as I wrote, just playing a professional sport is harmful to a person’s sport.

Have you read recently on the studies being done on football players and concussions, and how playing the sport for a number of years almost guarantees permanent brain damage, if not early death? I wouldn’t want my boys to subject themselves to such danger, but I still enjoy watching football every Sunday.

I realize mine is a cynical view, but if we’re really concerned about the well-being of professional athletes then much more must be done than simply banning steroids.

Dan, I assume you wrote this with your tongue firmly planted in your cheek. But . . . your premise that steroids are just supplements by another name is flawed. A suppliant something that provides vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids or other substances required for a HEALTHY DIET. Anabolic steroids promote the growth or synthesis (anabolism) of tissue, especially muscle, and are particularly harmful when misused. They cannot be classified as “supplements.”

If you stand by your premise, then I assume you will have no problem if your kids decided to add gin to their milk each morning instead of Ovaltine – because it’s just another supplement . . .

I really don’t see how taking steroids while preparing to play a game is analogous to looking up answers during a trivia contest, except that you consider both to be cheating.

Anyway, I simply ask this: Why are some supplements acceptable while others are not?

The use of steroids in sports is like using Google to answer trivia questions posed by world-famous bloggers. I consider both cheating.

On the flip-side I think it is perfectly acceptable for an athlete to lift weights and use accepted supplements just as I think it is ok for a trivia player to read books and magazines to prepare for difficult indie rock based questions.

Does this help at all?
