Yes, but taken properly there isn't really a problem in the large majority of cases. To improve my sports performance I can eat enough meat to hurt my long term health, but I don't think that's a reason to ban meat consumption among athletes.
That's a pretty poor comparison. Meat is consumed for sustenance. What purpose are steroids consumed for?
Is lasik surgery something that is easily abused and detrimental to one's health?
There are no real long term studies. If you are an educated healthy adult male I see no real dangers. The key words are healthy & adult & educated & a male. Arnold juiced from a teenager & is getting along pretty well. Many men outside of their prime are turning to HRT to improve quality of life. Sports made their own bed by not testing for so many years.
Steroids can be bad for you if abused (see Ken Caminiti).
However, HGH, from what I've read, is perfectly fine.
This is the ignorance associated with people who know nothing about steroids. He did steroids & died so that's what killed him. It wasn't the fact he was an alcoholic or was a drug addict that did every other drug there is. He died of an overdose & you're not gonna od on steroids.

Yes, and they are legal with a prescription.
So it goes from health to legality? It's a class III substance & illegal to have without a prescription. I doubt the police are gone beat your door down unless your selling or producing the stuff. The DEA actually didn't wanna make them illegal back in the day & there's a ton of other countries where it's perfectly legal.

Everyone needs sustenance. Not everyone needs steroids, and if they do, a professional will prescribe them to you.
Keep in mind CC, not everyone is smarter than a physician when it comes to steroids.
There are no long term studies with healthy adult men all you can do is base things on things you know. There's no doubt it has adverse affects on women & adolescents. The thing is people base what they think they know simply on what they hear from the media & such. They take every chance they can to label steroids as a killer or health risk based on things that happen to people that already had health issues &/or other dependency issues. You don't hear about the millions of other guys who never have a problem & enjoy the physical & mental sense of well being from steroids.

Not everyone needs tobacco, alcohol, high fructose corn syrup, daily aspirin (recently linked to macular degeneration) - but one is welcome to have any or all of those. Explain to me how any of those are any safer or healthier than properly used steroids/HGH? Yes, I realize that the other things I listed are legal...but alcohol was once illegal after having been legal (just like steroids). I don't think you can argue that properly used steroids/HGH are LESS healthy or detrimental to society than alcohol.
You are right that not everyone is smarter than a physician when it comes to steroids. But many are. You would be surprised at many (especially general/family) doctors' lack of knowledge about the proper use of steroids.
Alcohol, tobacco, and fructose corn syrup interests have better lobbyist than steroid ones do.

I don't like them. I also think anybody caught should be banned from play in any professional sport.
Let's see what you can do all natural.
