I recently watched the documentary Bigger. Stronger. Faster. -- which took a generally pro-steroid position. But even the evidence presented by doctors and many users lead me to believe that steroids, as applied to improving athletic performance are a very bad idea. Sure, doctors said they could never prove that steroids gave Lyle Alzado brain cancer, but he suffered a long, long list of other detrimental side effects. Lastly, just become something is reversible does not mean that you can undo all of the damage done. Abuse for the sake of athletic prowess is pathetic in my book. That's all I'm saying.

Although steroids are far from safe, no evidence exists to suggest they cause liver tumors or some of the other side effects you suggest. Also many things like shrinking of the testicles abd development of breasts are avoidable and reversible with hCG, AI's and proper PCT. Little research has been done to show long term effects but steroids aren't just used for athletic performance, they use used in the medical world to save lives as well. The problem as with anything else comes when their is a lack of research, misinformation and abuse. The problem with this post is your source.
