    You do have the right to make your own decisions. I would never fold, no matter what, to me values and dignity are more important than greed, also something that potentially harm me, no way. I have never cheated, never will. I would always do things fair and square. You area good guy, but nothing could make me fold, not even for a million bucks. This fixation with Modern Nutrition is getting old, we know that it is Steroids. But I do give you all the respect in the world, but if I was down and out, situation is severe, I would go back to work at age 62, anything illegal is not worth it, I do not even have a traffic ticket. Stay Cool, just be careful with your body, my health is not that good.

    ok ---- RMM...... not similar to my childhood, But what if your raised in a different economic level. Could u could avoid the " legal" money? Steroids have that impact. Maybe not long term but the $$ in short term are hard to beat, Unfortunately

    I do appreciate your morality in these times...... Please .... Just an honest question

    I was not raised in what you call wealthy, but middle class. Both parents worked, my mother was a nurse, my father was an Aircraft Mechanic as a civilian at the local Air Force Base. I wanted to work at a young age. Steroids is still a drug, and it is not legal if they are testing athletes for it. I do not care for drugs, Marijuana, Cocaine. When I made money before I retired, it was honest hard earned money doing what I enjoyed doing, helping the Mentally Ill, many were drug users that were addicted. In fact I went back to school (college) and earned my degree in Psychology. A lesson to be learned, Crime Does Not Pay, everyone gets caught by the law. When I was young, it was different than today. I paid my way thru High School and College, no help from parents. Steroids, Natural Nutrition, that is all I hear on this site, Enough. I do not even have a parking violation, clean and square. I am now 62 years old, and proud of what I have achieved, legally. Leave Steroids alone. Don't trouble trouble unless trouble troubles you. You seem like an intelligent guy, do something better with your life.

    Again.... RM . Never taken steroids , too old now anyway. But at 20? To make money ...yes. Different days, different money. I do do not disagree with your value set. Just your perception of todays athletes . Thank you

    I recommened watching Robert Sapolsky on YouTube if you're interested in psychology. The guy is a great lecturer.

    Considering that Ken Norton's son was 6'2, 235 and an NFL player, I'll give Norton the benefit of the doubt.

    That would have been back when Behaviorism was still pretty dominant as the paradigm?
