    I relaxed my hate earlier to give you a chance to make your points which seem to be 1) Grown men should make their own choices and 2) "Well, everyone else is doing it".

    And you have the nerve to shoot down everyone else's counter arguments. Sports should be fair. They should be won by the hard work and natural talents of the athletes. You are a disgrace for wanting so adamantly free range ped-use.

    I was waiting for someone to bring up this fraud of a website. You see this website was founded by Gary Wadler a man who became the face of steroids abuse after being the man chosen to talk to congress during the baseball trials. The man is considered a joke by most scientists, he has an agenda and is known to distort facts to fit it.

    You said one and I gave the first to pop up. Peruse the bibliography at the end of the page. But, your turn to google. Who are these scientists that consider him a joke because so far goolge makes him look legit.

    "There was no discussion today about testosterone," said Dr. Gary Wadler, who serves on the World Anti-Doping Agency's Prohibited List and Methods Committee.

    People who claim to be looking out for other people are delusional. Once again I'm not for people using drugs. To summarize my arguments.

    1. Steroids are no different than other supplement except for the fact that they work better.

    2. Steroids have been used to treat a plethora of conditions and diseases. The health benefits are substantial and the risks are very overblown

    3. No one has ever accomplished anything without hard work and dedication. Steroids can help but they are never going to be a replacement.

    I appreciate the relaxed conversation let's keep the debate going

    The first thing I would recommend is a trip to YouTube. Check out the movie Bigger, Faster, Stronger its a documentary about steroids. It's pretty good and they make a lot of good points. Gary is in there as well

    Still I don't see why steroids should be legalized.

    Hey, let's legalize theft too because certain thieves can be far too good at it and can escape jurisdiction.

    Exactly the point overuse of anything will kill you. People who use medications how they're suppose to limit side effects and have greater results.

    So, people that punch each other in the head for a living should be availed to making that a much more harmful experience? Why not give them brass knuckles instead? It would really settle the question of who is landing the cleaner harder shots by amplifying the effect.

    Mike Tyson isn't the king of PPV for taking steroids either. Certain fighters do escape the tests but they don't exactly last long enough before being exposed either. If the tests involved in the sport aren't good enough, THAT should be improved. To say "Let's give up and legalize steroids" is preposterous and idiotic.

    Should the law legalize theft and **** because certain con men are far too good at it?, wake the **** up.

    This is a dangerous sport as it is, legalizing performance enhancing drugs increases the chances of death, permanent damage and disability. You actually need to be in a ring and exchange punches before making such ridiculous claims. If you think this sport is as easy as typing on your computer, you need a reality check.

    Haha its just a poor analogy. Neither he nor I were arguing that steroids should be legal because prohibition doesn't work but that's what your analogy was arguing against. Also the use of hyperbole in a debate makes you seem petty. Go back and read we've covered this already

    You need to edit your main post within your thread then, I sure as hell won't track down your exchanges with others here after reading such a ridiculous claim. Clearly you state in your main post "Hey, all fighters will find some sort of advantage, let's just legalize it anyway".

    That's no different than saying "All desperate losers will find a way to **** a woman, so let's legalize it".

    Seriously? :lol:

    Any of you ****s that is seriously comparing steroids and **** need to grow the Hell up. Comparing those two things makes you look like a fool
