Looks good. Definately will check it out when I have the chance.
Personally I have no problem with people taking steriods- however I do have a problem when people take steroids and act like they don't. Yeah, Barry Bonds got all those baseball home runs, and you know what? If baseball allowed steroids (and we stopped these stupid congressional hearings) then so what? It's not my body. However don't then turn around and claim these great records, because that's not you but some chemicals that a scientist made.
Hell, diet supplements are also 'chemicals', however your body still needs to process them naturally. And just like extra protien will make you bigger, so will extra lifting. However both of these require building up to them. Steriods is an instant high that makes you superhuman, and while base talent is still needed for major sports MANY athletes wouldn't nearly be as good without the juice. The most telling thing is that as soon as they are off, their 'superpowers' wear away and they are stuck within the regular bounds of the human body again (sometimes worse for wear).
So create special 'steriod league' if need be. Just stop the BS and pretending that you aren't just an artificial monster.

Yes, because there is no downside or sacrifice involved in taking steroids. It just gives you an avatar that you control, you don't even need to use your own body to do the ****, it's just that awesome.

Obviously you missed the part where I said base talent is needed for the pros. And yes you have a risk of destroying yourself, which makes it a douchenozzle thing to do douchenozzle.

That such use must be masked is irrelevant.
...of course people would still try to sneak in steriods to the 'non-steriod' games but meh,I never liked people anyways. Dogs are way better.

If athletes want to risk the consequences, let them.
It's a free country. We don't outlaw Creatine, Glutamine, or any other effective supplement. Steroids just happen to be REALLY effective.
What bothers me, though, is the lack of education regarding recovery and detrimental side effects. Everyone knows that steroids will make you bigger, faster, and stronger...but few people know how it screws up your kidneys, throws off your hormone levels, and can even decrease bone density.
That pisses me off.
Hell, I think they should make steroids legal, but ENFORCE "steroid recovery" programs under licensed "Steroid Doctors". Instead of forcing athletes to use steroids in secret and risk permanent damage, let them openly do it...but require them to undergo treatment and work under supervision to ensure that they don't destroy themselves from a lack of education. -

The street argument is retarded. BJJ is so much overkill for the street that its ridiculous. Unless you're the idiot that picks a fight with the high school wrestling team, barring knife or gun play, the opponent shouldn't make it past double leg + ground and pound - Osiris
