Mark McGwire is introduced as coach by Los Angeles Dodgers

Mark McGwire, an American professional baseball player and coach, escapes from his past related to application of steroids successfully. He gains his popularity again. This person is actively implicated in professional baseball again.
Although Mark McGwire realizes that he doesn’t have any chance to be introduced into the Hall of Fame, he is not discouraged. He continues to like baseball.
St. Louis Cardinals were coached by Mark McGwire two seasons. Then he decided to stop coaching this team because he desires to spend more time with his family. Luckily, the American baseball coach will not leave professional baseball in order to have more time for his family. The Los Angeles Dodgers asked him to coach them. Mark McGwire agreed. Coaching this team will not disturb this person to spend sufficient time with his wife and kids because he it takes for him only an hour in order to drive from his home to the Dodgers Stadium.
Mark McGwire destroyed his reputation because he had taken anabolic steroids. After the American baseball player and coach was found guilty of doping he didn’t want to say anything about these preparations. However journalists asked him about intake of steroids by him and other baseball players, Mark McGwire refused to answer these questions. He affirmed that statements about steroid use by other sportspersons could jeopardize his family and friends.  
Finally the American athlete and coach admitted to taking forbidden remedies. He claimed that he made a serious mistake, applying these products. He realized that he didn’t act correctly. The American sportsman and coach apologized for violation of anti-doping policy. Then this athlete and coach was allowed to come back to professional baseball. Thus, he began to restore his reputation which was spoiled on account of the mistake linked with usage of banned substances.

GNC’s clerk George Touma sold steroids to undercover police officer

Sports nutrition stores sell not just true nutrition supplements. They label steroidal substances as nutrition supplements and sell them. But authorities put efforts to control and prevent sale of steroids as if they were true supplements. That’s why clerks of sports nutrition shops sell steroids illegally. Those who come to such stores are often informed that they may buy steroids as well.
 But these factors are known not only by consumers of steroids but also by law enforcements. So, police officers conduct undercover investigations in order to bust sports nutrition shops that offer steroids for sale. Clerks should know that if a client intends to buy steroids, arranging a deal outside the store, he must be an undercover police officer. That’s why those who are implicated in illegal operations linked with sale of steroids should be very careful to prevent legal troubles. Although they know about these aspects, they make typical mistakes which lead to arrests, charges and jail.
Let present a story about a clerk of the General Nutrition Centers (GNC) store located in East Walpole (Massachusetts). George Touma sold steroids along with dietary supplements. When police officers were informed about illicit actions of this man, they began to conduct an investigation. The investigation lasted circa a month and was conducted by The Walpole Police Department.
An undercover agent came to the store frequently and bought nutrition supplements. He was talking to the clerk quite often. So, a friendly relation was established. Finally they discussed about anabolic steroids. The undercover officer said that he would like to get anabolic steroids. Thus, he agreed to purchase 2 vials of steroids from George Touma. The agent had to pay $300 for the products. The deal was arranged outside the store. After the purchase had taken place police officers detained the clerk.
As a result, George Touma was charged with illicit possession and sale of anabolic steroids.

Anti-doping programs are not efficient enough to catch dopers

Great changes occurred in some types of sports after the USADA released its dossier on the prominent cyclist Lance Armstrong. The legendary American cyclist was administering steroids and other related preparations throughout the entire athletic career but he never tested positive for any prohibited product. He applied certain effective methods to avoid detection. Nonetheless, finally he was found guilty of doping.
Lance Armstrong’s doping case has demonstrated that anti-doping programs failed. Thus, they must be altered. Otherwise, competitions will be unfair. We’ll never see real sports heroes.
These factors influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Certain sports organizations stated that anti-doping programs should be altered in order to catch those that apply anabolic steroids and/or other related drugs.
Not only anti-doping agencies but also sportspersons affirm that anti-doping programs must be altered. Certain athletes want to assure that their sport is clean. For example, several tennis players believe that more drug testing should be conducted in tennis. It is interesting to notice that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, believe that anti-doping program is not quite suitable in tennis. They argue that more drug testing is required in order to assure that tennis is free of doping.
The World №1 tennis player Novak Djokovic stated that he would submit to more drug testing in order to induce cleaning tennis of dopers.
The World №2 tennis player Roger Federer also said that more tests for prohibited medications should take place in tennis. He noted that earlier he was subjected to more tests. Then the number of tests became lower in tennis.
When it comes to the World №3 tennis player Andy Muray, he stated that more out-of-competition testing should take place. While tennis players are always subjected to drug testing during competitions, they are not tested enough while being not in competitions.

Prosecution against Lance Armstrong is more serious than those against killers

The USADA has publicized a dossier on the American cyclist Lance Armstrong.
Which impression do readers get, when they study this dossier? It is claimed that numerous persons believe that each teammate of this prominent cyclist has taken anabolic steroids and/or other forbidden medicines. But is it true opinion? Has every Lance Armstrong’s teammate doped?
According to the dossier on this cyclist, 11 teammates testified against him, claiming that he administered doping products. Furthermore, it was affirmed that Lance Armstrong and the most mates of his team used sophisticated methods in order to be capable to dope and remain undetectable.
Although several Lance Armstrong’s teammates admitted to applying steroids and/or other related medicines, some teammates denied doping. For example, Julian Dean and Patrick Jonker were two teammates of the well-known cyclist that denied using performance-enhancing drugs.
Julian Dean claimed that he neither doped, nor saw Lance Armstrong taking anabolic steroids and/or other related drugs.
As for Patrick Jonker, his affirmations were like those of Julian Dean. He confirmed that he had never taken any forbidden products. He stated that he competed cleanly and didn’t take any unfair advantage.
According to Patrick Jonker, intake of anabolic steroids and other related drugs is a serious problem in cycling. He thinks that numerous cyclists dope. He considers that it is necessary to fight against usage of steroids and other related preparations in cycling. But he confirms that proper methods should be applied by anti-doping agencies. This athlete is full of indignation, saying about prosecution related to Lance Armstrong.  Patrick Jonker thinks that murderers are less prosecuted than the 7-time Tour de France winner.

British tennis player: steroids can’t perfect skills of tennis players

The Scottish professional tennis player Andy Murray notes that tennis is not tainted by administration of steroids and other related preparations. He thinks that usage of performance-enhancing drugs doesn’t represent any problem in this sport. He confirms that tennis is relatively clean. If you compare this sport to others, you can be convinced that it is free from doping, according to Andy Murray. But the tennis player understands that this sport is not entirely clean. This person acknowledges that some tennis players apply prohibited products too.
If you take cycling as an example, you may notice that it is associated with allegations regarding doping by the prominent cyclist Lance Armstrong. Cycling commentators and journalists try to show that doping reigns in other sports too. Thus, they try to direct attentions of people from cycling to others sports. They state that administration of steroids and other related drugs is a problem not only in cycling. Tennis turned out to be pointed out by them quite frequently.
Andy Murray decided to respond to such critic words. He claims that steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs don’t play any significant role in tennis. This athlete mentions about differences between tennis and cycling.
According to the tennis player, while steroids and other related medications benefit in cycling obviously, these remedies can’t produce any essential changes in tennis players. This athlete considers that while strength that is needed in cycling can be added by doping, the skills that are required in tennis can’t be perfected by steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
Actually, similar arguments are used in other sports as well. Baseball and basketball players also claim that steroids don’t represent any evident problem in their sports because these substances don’t have ability to increase performance in their sports.
But it is impossible to contest effects of steroids on performance of any athlete. Since these medicines are capable to add strength, speed and endurance, they play great role in tennis and other sports.

Belarusian steroid scandal leads to criminalization of doping

Alexander Lukashenko, the president of Belarus, is also the president of the National Olympic Committee. He was very upset after the Belarusian shot-putter Nadzeya Ostapchuk tested positive for a banned preparation. The president was very upset. Lukashenko turned out to be a serious fan of sports. He was ashamed that representatives of his country spoiled Belarusian’s sports reputation by positives for banned products. As a result, he said that some changes would be added to laws.
The president of Belarus said that it was needed to criminalize usage of prohibited drugs in sports. So, sports will be probably clean. This affirmation was pronounced by the Belarusian president after Nadzeya Ostapchuk was caught taking methenolone. This medication is better known as Primobolan.
The Belarusian president desires to see that his country succeeds in sports on the international scene. If Alexander Lukashenko desires to clean his country’s sports, he will be able to do it. Several facts show that this person has achieved numerous goals related to his country.
Actually, Alexander Lukashenko is a strict president. He was even accused of rights’ violation. He can change the situation in sports by force too.
Alexander Lukashenko doesn’t plan to discuss about application of prohibited drugs in sports. There are other aspects that should be discussed, according to Alexander Lukashenko.
Anatoliy Tozik, the Vice-President for Alexander Lukashenko, supposed that they could form a sports scientific center that would be sponsored by the state. The center would conduct scientific studies linked with mental and pharmacological support for elite sportspersons. The Belarusian president agreed to establish this center.
It is unknown whether the president will clean sports at any cost. Will he abuse his force for this need?

ITF should conduct more drug tests out-of-competition

David Howman expresses his thoughts about anti-doping programs in some sports organizations. While the director general of the WADA is happy with jobs of some sports organizations, he confirms that anti-doping policies in other leagues/teams are not appropriate. 

For example, David Howman praises the International Tennis Federation (ITF) for its anti-doping policy. David Howman claims that anti-doping system is appropriate in tennis. 

But as for the National Basketball Association (NBA), it doesn’t want to adopt its anti-doping system to that of the WADA. It refuses to add certain new drug tests in order to catch those that take steroids and/or other forbidden substances. That’s why the director general of the WADA states that the anti-doping policy of the NBA is not good enough to catch those who dope. He claims that the NBA should add more sophisticated new methods as well. 

The director general of the WADA claims that drug tests conducted in tennis have high quality. But there is a defect in tennis’ anti-doping program. Many tests take place during competitions. But few tests take place out-of-competition. That’s why ITF’s anti-doping program is also criticized.

Of course, no one can say that anti-doping policy of ITF is perfect. It has some lacks too. But it is quite adequate. 

So, you should not believe that tennis is clean from doping totally. Some tennis players probably use steroids and/or performance-enhancing drugs. But it is not so tainted, as some other sports.

 Just one tennis player was banned for usage of prohibited medications. However it seems to prove that tennis is not tainted, it is necessary to take in consideration that there are some ways to avoid positives. As you probably know, the legendary cyclist Lance Armstrong took steroids and other related medicines and avoided detection much time. Couldn’t tennis players act the same way?

Lance Armstrong’s sponsors don’t support cyclist anymore

The USADA published a report related to doping by the famous American cyclist Lance Armstrong. According to the dossier, this athlete used steroids and other doping products. After publishing several sponsors that donated for Lance Armstrong’s foundation Livestrong decided to cut their links with this sportsman and his charity organization.
One of companies that decided to discontinue sponsoring the organization which fights against cancer is Nike. This company was working much time with the cyclist. Finally Nike claimed that it would not have anything longer with the person who was cheating more than 10 years.
24 Hour Fitness also refused to collaborate with Lance Armstrong anymore.
Some other companies also made the decision to discontinue sponsoring Lance Armstrong’s foundation.
However, the American cyclist tried to do a lot in order to prevent negative influence of his athletic reputation on the foundation that helps individuals the experience cancer to survive. He confirmed that he would not be the chairman of the foundation anymore. However the athlete tried to keep sponsors, he couldn’t do it.
When it comes to the USADA, it concluded that Lance Armstrong was found guilty of doping. As a result, the sportsperson received lifetime suspension. Moreover, he lost all 7 titles obtained at Tour de France.
But the International Cycling Union (ICU) affirmed that the USADA made a wrong decision. Although Lance Armstrong stopped fighting against accusations pronounced by the USADA, the ICU said that it would appeal the decision even without involvement of the sportsperson.
However Lance Armstrong never tested positive for any forbidden preparation, it was concluded that he was guilty of doping. It was affirmed that he used steroids and other banned medications but he used some simple as well sophisticated ways in order to prevent positives. So, the athlete was capable to dope and remain undetectable.
Now the athlete pays for his doping. The decision of some companies to discontinue sponsoring his foundation is a great loss for this person.

Do basketball players take steroids?

The director general of the WADA David Howman confirms that the National Basketball Association (NBA) anti-doping policy is not sophisticated enough to catch those who administer prohibited medicines. He claims that steroid testing conducted in the NBA is not appropriate. While the NFL and the MLB agreed to accept additional tests, the NBA didn’t agree to do the same things.
Derrick Rose, a former basketball player, also claimed that numerous NBA players administered steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. This sport is not clean, according to Derrick Rose. It is believed that David Howman’s opinion related to intake of steroids in the NBA is resulted from words pronounced by Derrick Rose.
The NBA doesn’t want to adopt its anti-doping program to that of the WADA. The NBA officers state that steroids and other related preparations don’t have ability to influence on games and make them unfair. They consider that just natural abilities and trainings play role in the NBA. According to NBA officers, steroids and other doping products are not capable to increase performance of basketball players. They say that doping products don’t benefit this sport.
Do NBA officers have a right point of view? Aren’t steroids and other related medicines capable to enhance performance of those that play basketball? What do facts show? What does scientific literature notice about effects of steroids and other related drugs?
Actually, everybody knows that steroids and some other drugs benefit in any sport. They just should be taken properly and accompanied by suitable meal and workouts. These drugs play great role in sports. It is impossible to doubt about effectiveness of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in basketball. Affirmations of NBA officers are ridiculous.
Undoubtedly, any sport organization likes to believe that their sport is not tainted. Nonetheless, it is needed to see the reality. That’s why the director general of the WADA confirms that it is important to conduct more and more sophisticated steroid testing in order to catch those who take banned remedies.

Philadelphia police officers don’t keep laws linked with steroids

Illicit sale of anabolic steroids is widespread. However law enforcement officers put efforts to eradicate illicit production, sale, possession and usage of steroids, certain police officers are also involved in such illegal operations. Moreover, as it is obvious, certain police officers mastermind illegal deals related to steroids and other related medications.
The former Philadelphia police officer Keith Gidelson was found guilty of illicit distribution of anabolic steroids and certain other medications, such as HGH, IGF-1, anti-estrogen medicines, etc. The medicines which were sold by this police officer were marketed as Sciroxx preparations.
Keith Gidelson turned out to be the leader of a steroid chain. So, he was not distributing anabolic steroids alone. He was working together with several other persons, including his wife and two other police officers.
Those who desired to get anabolic steroids contacted the Philadelphia police officer via internet. So, customers placed orders for needed steroids or/and other related products. Then these preparations were shipped to the customers.
When shipments arrived, Keith Gidelson informed his clients per handy. He called them or sent messages. That’s why it was easy to bust this illegal steroid ring. The Philadelphia police officer talked to his customers about anabolic steroids and other related medicines quite openly. As for his co-workers, they discussed about steroids among them, utilizing certain terms.
Such anabolic steroids, as Testosterone Enanthate, Trenbolone Enanthate, Nandrolone Decanoate, etc. were sold by Keith Gidelson and his co-workers. These medications were acquired from China and Europe. Then they were delivered to those that ordered them per internet.  
Keith Gidelson will be sentenced in January 2013.

Follow traffic rules, when you drive while having steroids in your car!

Several bodybuilders are caught possessing anabolic steroids and other illegal medicines because they make certain mistakes while possessing these medications. For example, a bodybuilder plans to administer performance-enhancing drugs. He finds a safe online drug store and orders certain drugs. Then he pays for these medications. The medications are shipped. The bodybuilder comes to a post office and takes the package which contains the drugs which have been ordered by him. It seems to him that everything is successful. The package has not been intercepted. The medicines have not been seized. This man takes the preparations and drives home.
Undoubtedly, this person can’t wait until he arrives home to begin his cycle with these medications. He desires to be at home, use the products and look in the mirror and see wanted effects. Thinking about possible effects and improvement of appearance, this bodybuilder violates traffic rules. He exceeds speed because he wants to be at home sooner. Furthermore, this bodybuilder has another problem. He has a suspended driver’s license. When policemen see that this person has violated any traffic rule, they stop him. The police officers find out that this person has a suspended driver’s license. They decide to search the vehicle. Thus, they find that this man possesses steroids and other illegal preparations. This person gets legitimate troubles. His dreams don’t become real. He gets problems instead of desired effects.
 Let take Michael Vazquez of Kenmore (New York) as an example. This person had a suspended driver’s license while violating traffic rules and possessing steroids. Thus, he got legitimate troubles. Since he violated several traffic laws, he was stopped by policemen that saw that he had a suspended driver’s license. When they searched this person’s vehicle, they found that this person possessed steroids, needles and syringes.
Thus, if you possess steroids and/or other related drugs while driving your car, don’t make such mistakes! Don’t violate traffic laws! Avoid driving with a suspended driver’s license! So, you can avoid legitimate problems.

Indian supplement stores and pharmacies are shut down

Sale and usage of steroids without a doctor’s prescription are considered to be illegal in India. But illegal sale and application of steroids and other related drugs prosper in this country. A lot of sportspeople obtain these products at drug stores and supplement stores and administer them in order to enhance muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s athletes tested positive for forbidden medications at the 2012 London Olympics, attention of authorities was drawn to pharmacies and supplement stores. Local police officers decided to raid pharmacies and supplement stores regularly in order to control illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other related medications. After certain raids several pharmacies and supplement stores had been shut down.
Recently law enforcement officers searched a pharmacy and two supplement stores located in the southern part of India.
The Parola Pharmacy located in Valancherry was searched by law enforcement officers. As it was defined, steroids and other related preparations were sold at this drug store illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were identified by law enforcement officers. Several other steroids were sold illegally too. So, this drug store was shut down.
The Health World supplement store located in Kottakkal was also recently searched. Police officers defined that Methandienone, Equipose, Testosterone Undecanoate and some other steroids were offered for sale at this supplement store. So, it was shut down as well.
Another supplement store that was raided was the AM Nutrition store. But it was not pursued because no any steroids were sold at the store.
Law enforcement officers plan to continue raids. Certain pharmacies and supplement stores will probably lose their licenses for illegal sale of steroids and other related drugs.

Tommy John surgery and success in baseball

High school athletes do a lot in order to enhance their muscles and improve performance. While some sportspersons put efforts to enhance speed, baseball players try to increase throwing speed.
What do high school athletes actually do for this purpose? You probably know that many sportspeople apply anabolic steroids in order to get muscles and increase performance. But intake of steroids and other related medications is not the only method which seems to be efficient for some athletic goals. Certain high school athletes want to have the operation ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction that is also called Tommy John surgery.
Actually, high school athletes don’t know about several conditions linked with Tommy John surgery. They base their conceptions on the case connected with the baseball player Tommy John who got UCL damage during a baseball game. After the damage he was very unhappy. Tommy John thought that didn’t have any chance more to play professional baseball. This person consulted the surgeon Frank Jobe. The health care provider operated this person successfully. After the operation the baseball player came back to baseball. Tommy John’s further career was quite successful. He won many games. So, this surgery was named after this man: Tommy John surgery.
When high school athletes find out about Tommy John, they desire to be as excellent players, as he was. They suggest that the operation promoted winning because this person won more games after the surgery than before. However high school athletes may suppose properly, they have some wrong opinions about this operation. They believe that they may be operated in absence of any damage and improve their performance. But high school athletes don’t consider that nobody can come back to playing baseball soon after such surgery. Certain period of time is required to receive recovery. Furthermore, it is necessary to take into account that several risks connected with Tommy John surgery. They may get irreversible stiff elbow. Certain other risks are also related to this operation.
Thus, high school athletes don’t comprehend the essence of this surgery appropriately. When they have elbow pains, they inform their doctors about this problem, trying to convince them they should be probably subjected to Tommy John surgery.

Why did Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mother-in-law decide to inform her daughter about risks linked with steroids?

Maria Shriver didn’t get pregnant during the first three years of her marriage to the prominent American bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger. Her mother was in trouble. Since the bodybuilder used steroids, she feared that these drugs could cause infertility in him. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mother-in-law brought a scientific report about steroids to her daughter. The report enumerated possible adverse effects of steroids, including infertility.
Arnold Schwarzenegger affirmed that he found this report on the desk of his wife occasionally. Thus, the bodybuilder read it. The bodybuilder laughed a lot. The bodybuilder claimed that his mother-in-law was out of control.
But the bodybuilder’s mother-in-law was in troubled without any reason. Her daughter and Arnold Schwarzenegger became parents of four kids. Moreover, Arnold Schwarzenegger got a child as a result of his extra-marital relations. Thus, it was obvious that steroids didn’t have any negative impact on reproductive system of this man.
Do steroids cause infertility in male consumers? These preparations suppress natural production of the hormone testosterone. That’s why men who take these preparations may have infertility. But it is necessary to know that this undesirable reaction is not permanent. When males stop administering steroids, their natural secretion of testosterone is restored. Thus, this undesirable consequence disappears.  
The autobiography written by Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals many interesting aspects related to steroids. This prominent bodybuilder applied steroids during his competitive career. Anabolic steroids helped him to succeed. Administration of these substances was not prohibited in professional bodybuilding, when Arnold Schwarzenegger competed.

Public health is in danger due to steroid abuse

Timothy Armstrong of the World Health Organization confirms that anabolic steroids are dangerous for public health. While these products are often taken by sportspeople, bodybuilders and ordinary people for increase of muscle mass and strength, they may have negative impact on physical and mental health of consumers. Unluckily, risks linked with these products are not attended seriously. However many specialists warn that these preparations may produce severe side effects, many people continue to use them for performance-enhancing effects.
Timothy Armstrong puts efforts to protect public health. He has presented a speech about steroid abuse at a conference organized by the chairman of the International Olympic Committee Arne Ljungqvist. Thus, Timothy Armstrong helps to eradicate illegal application of steroids.
When it comes to Arne Ljungqvist, he put efforts in order to fight against administration of steroids in sports. According to the chairman of the International Olympic Committee, administration of steroids represents a moral problem. Those who administer doping products don’t compete fairly. They take unfair advantage over those who don’t take these preparations. Thus, they act improperly.
Of course, Arne Ljungqvist is happy that Timothy Armstrong is also against usage of steroids. He claims that anti-doping agencies should work with the World Health Organization more closely. The united efforts will be capable to eradicate usage of doping products from professional sports.
Timothy Armstrong affirms that anti-doping agencies should have direct links with law enforcements and customs officers. If they collaborate, their fight against illegal deals connected with steroids and other controlled substances will be more efficient. They should inform each other about persons that have something to do with illegal preparations. Thus, they will be capable to reach their goals.

Little girl was beaten brutally by steroid user

Audrey Allen, an 18-month old girl, was killed by Joshua Allen Kruzik.
The little girl was murdered because she cried in the middle of the night. Joshua Allen Kruzik, an US marine, a friend of Audrey Allen’s parents, decided to spend weekends at their friends’ home. Before he came to them, he was at a local bar where he drank much alcohol. He had to care about the baby, when she cried. But Joshua Allen Kruzik beat the child very brutally. As a result, the baby got numerous severe head injuries. She died at a local hospital.
David Kohn, the defense attorney for the murderer, confirmed that steroids were responsible for the aggression of his client. It was confirmed that Joshua Allen Kruzik used anabolic steroids. Before the incident he attempted to discontinue using these products but he was not capable to do it. The defense attorney affirmed that anabolic steroids caused “roid rage” in Joshua Allen Kruzik. He couldn’t not control himself and beat the little girl. According to David Kohn, his client was unconscious. However the defense attorney confirmed that his client was ready to take the entire responsibility, he added that he was not guilty.
The baby’s parents also testified that their friend applied anabolic steroids. The mother of the little girl said that she possessed syringes at her home. Thus, she injected Kruzik with steroids, when he came. Some other persons also affirmed that he applied steroids.
It is strange that anabolic steroids are blamed in this situation. Are these products responsible for the crime? Take in consideration that Kruzen has been drunk, when he has murdered the little girl!
It is unclear whether the judge will accept the steroid excuse.

Steroids don’t act magically

However natural bodybuilders try to show that they can be as muscular as consumers of steroids, they fail to do it. Even those that have appropriate diets and intensive workouts can’t get the same muscle mass and endurance like consumers of steroids. Gains which can be acquired because of appropriate administration of steroids and other related medicines are much greater than those that are obtained through natural ways.
But you should know that steroids and other doping products can’t enhance muscle mass and endurance, if users don’t have hard trainings and proper nutrition. Although steroids are able to promote gaining muscles and energy, it is not sufficient only to apply these preparations. Consumers of steroids must not be lazy persons. Otherwise, they will fail to acquire wanted results. If consumers of steroids don’t train intensively during application of performance-enhancing drugs, they may get additional troubles instead of benefits.
Those that are going to apply steroids in order to add muscles and enhance energy should plan their workouts and diets. It is necessary to train intensively. Nonetheless, it is necessary to take into account that muscles don’t grow, if they don’t have any rest. That’s why it is necessary to have well-planned trainings. Trainings and time of rest should be rotated suitably.
Furthermore, it is required to plan which kinds of exercises should be performed. Your heart must work properly, if you want to increase your muscles with steroids. That’s why cardio exercises should take place 3-4 hours per week.
Another factor that should be considered is nutrition. Muscles can be increased, if sufficient protein is consumed. Steroids and other related medicines can’t increase muscles and add strength without usual physiological processes. Keep in mind that steroids don’t work magically! They act through stimulation of natural processes that occur in the body.
If you desire to increase your muscle mass and energy with steroids, you should study and follow several recommendations related to diets which are useful for achievement of these goals.

Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t use high doses of steroids

Arnold Schwarzenegger applied anabolic steroids. These drugs helped him to have success. The bodybuilder acknowledged that he succeeded because of these remedies significantly. But he also mentioned that other competitive bodybuilders administered these preparations too. Arnold Schwarzenegger was aware of the fact that all top athletes and bodybuilders used anabolic steroids. If Arnold Schwarzenegger had not applied doping products, other bodybuilders would have had unfair advantage over him.
Although the well-known bodybuilder admitted to application of steroids, he never apologized. Administration of these drugs was not banned, when Arnold Schwarzenegger competed. Administration of steroids and other related medicines didn’t represent any problem in bodybuilding during that time.
Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote that he didn’t know about risks linked with administration of these preparations. But he also added that earlier bodybuilders didn’t administer enhanced dosages like current bodybuilders.  That’s why it was not dangerous to administer these products.
Nowadays it is important to take in consideration that athletes and bodybuilders administer very increased dosages which may have negative impact on health. Administration of enhanced quantities usually results in dangerous permanent negative effects. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger is against intake of steroids for performance-enhancing effects. Measures that were administered by the famous bodybuilder were lower by 20 times than those taken by current bodybuilders. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger worked together with International Federation of Bodybuilders against application of doping products in competitive bodybuilding.

Usage of HGH and cancer

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) has been initially elaborated for medical purposes. This preparation is prescribed to treat children with growth disorders and adults that experience deficiency of growth hormone and associated health problems. But this drug is widely abused. Many weightlifters and other sportspersons take this product for athletic purposes. Under laws of certain countries, including the USA, purchase and application of this product for non-clinical purposes are considered to be illicit.
Although this preparation is illicit without any prescription, it is not difficult to buy it. This product is widely available online. Furthermore, steroid dealers sell this product. Since the price is not increased, a lot of athletes have possibility to get it.
Those that administer HGH illegally abuse also other preparations. They are not limited just by illegal usage of this medicine. Which medications are also used by consumers of HGH?
Several specialists decided to conduct a study connected with illegal application of HGH. They enrolled 230 weightlifters aged 18-40 into the research. The scientists could determine that the most of these weightlifters used not only HGH but also anabolic-androgenic steroids and insulin-like growth factor-1. Moreover, many of them applied recreational drugs, such as cocaine, ecstasy, etc.
Which dangers are faced by those who apply increased measures of HGH prolonged period of time? Unluckily, unwanted effects resulted from high measures of this preparation are not studied sufficiently because health care providers usually don’t recommend increased quantities.  Enhanced dosages are commonly taken by those who take this medicine for performance-enhancing effects. But it is known that usage of increased quantities during prolonged period of time may lead to dangerous unwanted results. This product may affect different systems, including endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular, etc. It is important to be very careful because increased quantities of this drug are linked even with cancer.

Does dexamethasone enhance risk linked with post-op bleeding?

More and more kids are subjected to tonsillectomies. The number of surgeries in children younger than 15 years old has enhanced essentially.
After tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy children may experience vomiting and nausea. So, health care providers indicate applying corticosteroids during surgeries in order to reduce these post-operation side effects.
Unfortunately, while corticosteroids lower risks/severity related to nausea and vomiting, they are associated with certain other dangers. They may lead to bleeding during and after tonsillectomies. Late researches have manifested that the number of complications after tonsillectomies has increased during certain last years. Since number of tonsillectomies becomes more increased, complications appear more frequently as well.
Certain specialists decided to know whether bleeding occurs after tonsillectomies because of corticosteroids. They tried to find out whether there is any obvious difference in occurring of bleeding between children who use the corticosteroid dexamethasone during tonsillectomies and those who are not given this preparation. Thus, the scientists enrolled over 300 children in the trial.
Results of the trial have demonstrated that bleeding of the levels I and II are enhanced by 5% in those who are given a single measure of dexamethasone during tonsillectomy.
So, corticosteroids don’t maximize the risk connected with post-operation bleeding substantially. Although physicians doubt about safety of corticosteroids administered during tonsillectomies, they don’t increase severe bleeding events substantially.
