    You bring a good point however not to the degree that a statement should be redacted, not that you suggested as such.

    What is not ruled out in the hypothesis is that roids did not have a factor in his actions. He had a combination of 3 prescribed medications, including the roids and what you will often not find is evidence of how multiple medications may react in a person.

    These days as a patient you may have to do your own research on how specific medications will react if taken in combination. Those studies are not always done because of the multitude of probabilities present given any combinations of situations.

    My wife had a VERY serious surgery a couple of years ago where multiple medications were prescribed for multiple symptoms. She turned into a psycho bitch to which I bout had to slap. Turns out the combination of two created her state less the others added to the equation. We got her off the combination and to this day she can never recall the symptoms under which she was subject too. As if it never happen.

    the first guy died from synthol, not steroids.
    the second died from overdosing on insulin.
    the 3rd from GHB.
    the 4th guy no one could prove why he died.
    5th guy was on every drug in the book.
    alzado, his own doctors said steriods didnt kill him
    7th guy, still no proof.
    8th guy, im not sure but i think a rope killed him.


    look, with any drug, if you are psychotic, or you mix and match every drug known to man, then yes you will have problems, but if you have a doctor that knows what he is doing prescribe you steroids and monitor you, then why is it so wrong?

    Excessive use is very dangerous.

    Male testostrone replacement in middle aged men, under a doctor's care, can lead to improved quality of life.

    The people who take steroids for cosmetics, I just don't get it But if I were a pro athelete, where my perfomance could mean the difference in compensation that could set up my family for life, I'd think it would be a tough choice.

    If it were for health issues then sure. But to have a doctor go through all that trouble just so you can advance your career seems wrong. Then he needs more medical insurance in case you go off the deep end and kill yourself or something and gets sued. Them my medical bills go up. Screw that.

    And now it is illegal to smoke in restaurants in most states. And we have taxes to try and curb smoking. Hind sight is 20\20. We are now trying to correct these issues and save those lives. You want to add steroids to that list?

    All steroid users use that same argument, which is why I said it is not as clear as 2+2.

    Steroids arent the same as those other drugs. They raise can raise a handful or readings in your liver to astronomical levels during a short period of time. Your ferriitin levels can go around 1,000 very quickly when in realiity they should be around 50ish. The other drugs can't do that when used correctly.

    If you lose control at 100mph and crash into a tree, what killed you? The speed, the impact or both?
