Wow...I m envious..I d love to wade in there ! They d throw me out I m sure...
I d bring up :
I, a 46 yr old male, USE roids to enhance my physique; as I don t plan on competing again I run light cycle s and have NEVER had an issue.
I believe there is use and abuse of anything out there...with alcohol being the worste..
I believe the use of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and light cycle s is widely overlooked as a means to treat depression, bone loss, fat loss, E.D.. etc.
But as roid s were developed DECADES ago the profit margin on them is very low , thereby leading to DOC S prescribing the latest med s to finance their next dive excursion to Aruba via the pharmaceutical fuks....which, next to the law profession is one the biggest culprits to our declining society.
If a football player or tennis player need s cortisone or a pain killer to finish a game/match..or needs to jack themselve s up with coffee or an energy drink isn t that using med s or advances in science to enhance performance when old school athlete s either had to bear with it and play..or go sit down ?
It s a fine line in my opinion...Please post up some commentary on the outcome.
Thanks, Yea that's one of the main focuses of this debate to discuss performance enhacning drugs, what their legality should be, are they safe, is their use morally sound in an athletic environment, steroids would be a big topic but not the only one.
It would be great to hear, but i see nothing but disaster from these types of discussion. Americans are mindless idiots as a whole and the majority believe whatever they read in the paper or see on TV.
If you could keep the debate between actual knowledgeable people, i think that would be the best thing. lol
That is what I am aiming for its rare to be able to pull in professionals like doctors physicians and pro bodybuilders and we have managed to do that. So I plan on really pushing them with the issues to see what they have to say. While I agree with you most of my immediate housemates that I have discussed the use of these drugs with and have shown studies and unbiased knowledge to, they have all been shocked and speechless to the amount of ill informed info they have been regurgitating for years. They are more accepting of the safe and knowledgeable use of PE compounds. So a difference can be made, there are a few hundred people expected at this event.
I dont even know where to begin, the question I ask myself, like the redneck said, why is alcohol Legal but not juice?
I can think of about 10 people off hand right now that ruined their life and the life of others, by the abuse of alcohol. I dont even know 10 that use AAS. That is people i know. Not to mention the people i read about it. which is worse for society as a whole and why?
I mean we all know the real reason alcohol is Legal, cause they need the money. Same reason Marijuana is being legalized in Cali, as soon as it happens, everyone else will follow.
I will be addressing those the ethics of PE. How can we sell tobacco, alcohol, Ephedrine, prescribe amphetamines to 8 year olds and benzodiazepenes to college students but not legalize the use of steroids in healthy adult males under the supervision of a doctor.
Wish I could be there. I hope the debate is conducted in a way that people
can gather useful info and decide what is what for themselves. I don't think
gear is everyone. I think the most important thing is responsible use and understanding
of what the hell you are doing.
Professionalism will be a must, I do not look at this as an oppurtunity to say HA! steroids should be legal you are dumb. I look to engage both sides in constructive arguments and presentation of their ideas.
One of the hardest thing I am encountering is that I am having trouble locating good psychological studies on the use of Steroids. Also many of the studies I am coming across do not account for the higher doses many who are serious in this sport look to use. The studies also do not test multiple compounds or "stacking" like we commonly do. In other words, the ignorance seems to be bliss because the medical and scientific community do not want to allocate funds for the research of drugs that have been commonly used for decades now; its a shame really.
Feel free to post ideas and questions and they can be as specific as would like them to be. I' ll be checking this thread for the next couple weeks.
