    Maybe I'm wrong and it is in a sport context. If so I apologise.

    Are they even illegal, or do you just need a prescription?

    You need a prescription for steroids in general, but they are available for therapeutic use. If you get caught with paxil without a prescription you will be in the same trouble as if they found an androgen. Never mind that reality - SFTS wants steroids - he should have them without any regulation at all.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    i dont know why they're illegal, but anything thats gonna make ur willy smaller should be illegal.
    Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!

    In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.

    I may be wrong (probably), but doesn't adding testosterone through steroids cause your body to not produce as much of it's own?

    Lyle Alzado had a brian tumor. Could've happened to anyone. I love how the one man every champions as being the ultimate victim of steroids really was just a victim of bad luck. If "they all were doing it" Why have we not seen more of these debilitating tumors in former NFL players?
