My name is not Merriam nor is it Webster, so I am not the one with whom you are arguing with over the definition of the word "abuse". Whether or not it was legal is not the point. The actual use of the product and the effects it has on his body, performance, etc. Legally men are supposed to walk in front of a car driven by their wife ans wave a white flag in New Orleans. Sodomy is also prohibited in many areas in our country. To hide behind the "legal" definition of the word is highly argumentative and pointless. I prefer to stick to more definitive uses of the word "abuse" and I think I explained that pretty clearly in making my point. You and I are simply not talking about the same thing.
lets try again. He did not have a doctor or a prescription for the HGH and Steroids. Therefore he WRONGLY USED the drugs -- definition #1.
If he had a prescription, the manner, dosage and frequency in which he used the drug would have been acceptable by said physician. Therefore, it was used properly. He did not use them legally. I really can't dumb it down for you any more than that...
