Who is really using steroids? Guys kinda like me*, it turns out:
Contrary to popular belief, the typical anabolic steroid user is more like an "Average Joe" than a professional athlete or competitive teenager.
A new survey suggests that the typical anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) user is a well-educated 30-year-old male who wants to build muscles and strength and increase his physical attractiveness. Researchers say the results show the notion of the typical steroid user as a "cheating" athlete is inaccurate.
"These findings question commonly held views of typical AAS users and their underlying motivations," Rick Collins of Collins, McDonald & Gann, PC, in Carle Place, N.Y., says in a news release.
Maybe it's time to re-think this front in the War on Drugs, too.
*I prefer to make myself more attractive by pouring strong drinks for the ladies, not by injecting myself in the bottom. It seems to work just fine.
Hm.... Fake muscles that'll go flabby, or a nice drink and the skill to make more...which will only get better in time.
Well, folks, I know which I prefer-- anyone else?
I plan on aging well -- or at least on keeping myself (and those around me) well preserved.
This is old news. I can not recall the article but I read something about 10 years ago where the person was doing a story on steroids in LA and it turned out the teens in the story who were using the steroids had no interest in sports, they just wanted to look good.
The reason I believe we should be so hard on athletes is because they are role models.
