Mark McGwire leaves St. Louis Cardinals

Mark McGwire, an American professional baseball player and coach, gets rid of his past linked with application of steroids successfully. He gets his popularity again. This person is actively involved in professional baseball again.
Although Mark McGwire comprehends that he doesn’t have any chance to enter into the Hall of Fame, he doesn’t become discouraged. He continues to like baseball.
St. Louis Cardinals were coached by Mark McGwire two seasons. Then this man decided to stop coaching this team because he desires to spend more time with his family. Fortunately, Mark McGwire will not leave professional baseball in order to have more time for his family. The Los Angeles Dodgers asked him to coach them. He agreed. Coaching this team will not disturb this person to spend sufficient time with his wife and kids because he it takes for him just an hour in order to drive from his home to the Dodgers Stadium.
This athlete and coach spoiled his reputation because he had applied anabolic steroids. After Mark McGwire was found guilty of doping he didn’t desire to say anything about these products. However journalists asked him about application of steroids by him and other baseball players, Mark McGwire refused to answer these questions.

Ultimately the American baseball player and coach admitted to taking forbidden products. He affirmed that he made an immense mistake, taking these products. The American baseball player and coach realized that he didn’t act correctly. Mark McGwire apologized for violation of anti-doping laws. Then the American athlete and coach was allowed to come back to professional baseball. Thus, he started to restore his reputation which was destroyed on account of the mistake related to application of banned remedies.

Undercover police officers catch steroid dealers successfully

Sports nutrition shops offer for sale not only real nutrition supplements. They label steroidal compounds as dietary supplements and sell them. But authorities try to control and avoid sale of steroids as if they were just supplements. That’s why clerks of sports nutrition shops offer steroids for sale illegally. Those who come to such stores are often informed that they may purchase steroids as well.
 But these conditions are known not only by consumers of steroids but also by police officers. So, police officers conduct undercover investigations in order to bust sports nutrition stores that offer steroids for sale. Clerks should understand that if a client wants to obtain steroids, arranging a deal outside the shop, he must be an undercover agent. That’s why those who are implicated in illegal operations connected with sale of steroids should be very careful to avoid legal troubles. Although they know about these aspects, they make typical mistakes which result in arrests, charges and prison.
Let present a story about a clerk of the General Nutrition Centers (GNC) store located in East Walpole (Massachusetts). George Touma sold anabolic steroids along with dietary supplements. When police officers were informed about illegal actions of this person, 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 shop often and purchased dietary supplements. He was talking to the clerk quite often. Thus, a friendly relation was formed. Finally they discussed about steroids. The undercover officer said that he would like to get steroids. So, he agreed to obtain 2 vials of steroids from George Touma. The officer had to give $300 for the medicines. The deal was arranged outside the shop. After the purchase had taken place police officers detained George Touma.
As a result, the clerk of the GNC was charged with illicit possession and sale of anabolic steroids.

Lance Armstrong’s doping case caused changes in anti-doping policies

Significant changes occurred in several types of sports after the USADA published its report on Lance Armstrong. The legendary American cyclist was using anabolic steroids and other related drugs throughout the whole athletic career but he never tested positive for any banned drug. He applied certain effective methods to prevent detection. Nonetheless, finally he turned out to be guilty of doping.
Lance Armstrong’s doping case has shown that anti-doping policies failed. So, they must be changed. Otherwise, competitions will be unfair. We’ll never distinguish real sports heroes.
These aspects influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Several sports organizations stated that anti-doping programs should be altered in order to catch those that use steroids and/or other related medications.
Not only anti-doping agencies but also athletes claim that anti-doping programs should be modified. Certain sportspeople desire to be sure that their sport is clean. For example, some tennis players believe that more drug testing should take place in tennis. It is interesting to note that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, consider that anti-doping policy is not quite efficacious in tennis. They argue that more drug testing is required in order to be sure that tennis is free of doping.
Novak Djokovic claimed that he would submit to more drug testing in order to promote cleaning tennis of dopers.
Roger Federer also said that more tests for banned products should be conducted in tennis. He mentioned that earlier he was subjected to more tests. Then the number of tests became more reduced in tennis.
When it comes to the tennis player Andy Muray, he affirmed that more out-of-competition testing should be conducted. While tennis players are always subjected to drug testing during competitions, they are not tested often while being not in competitions.

Not each Lance Armstrong’s teammate testifies against him

The USADA has publicized a report on the prominent cyclist Lance Armstrong.
Which impression do people get, when they study this report? It is claimed that a lot of persons believe that every teammate of this celebrated cyclist has applied steroids and/or other prohibited products. But is it true opinion? Has each Lance Armstrong’s teammate doped?
According to the dossier on this sportsman, 11 teammates testified against him, claiming that he administered doping products. Furthermore, it was confirmed that Lance Armstrong and the most mates of his team used sophisticated methods in order to be capable to dope and avoid detection.
Although certain Lance Armstrong’s teammates admitted to taking steroids and/or other related medications, some teammates denied doping. For example, Julian Dean and Patrick Jonker were two teammates of the American cyclist that denied using performance-enhancing drugs.
Julian Dean claimed that he neither doped, nor saw Lance Armstrong using anabolic steroids and/or other related preparations.
As for Patrick Jonker, his statements were like those of Julian Dean. He claimed that he had never taken any banned remedies. He claimed that he competed cleanly and didn’t take any unfair advantage.
According to Patrick Jonker, administration of anabolic steroids and other related medicines is a serious problem in cycling. He thinks that a lot of cyclists dope. He considers that it is necessary to fight against administration of steroids and other related substances in cycling. But he considers that proper methods should be applied by anti-doping agencies. This athlete is full of indignation, talking about prosecution linked with Lance Armstrong.  Patrick Jonker thinks that murderers are less pursued than the famous cyclist.

Tennis should not be criticized for steroid use

The Scottish professional tennis player Andy Murray confirms that tennis is not tainted by usage of steroids and other related preparations. He claims that administration of doping products doesn’t represent any problem in this sport. He states that tennis is relatively clean. If you compare this sport to others, you may be convinced that it is free from doping, according to Andy Murray. But the tennis player understands that this sport is not wholly clean. He acknowledges that certain tennis players administer prohibited products as well.
If you take cycling as an example, you may notice that it is linked to allegations regarding doping by the well-known cyclist Lance Armstrong. Cycling commentators and reporters put efforts to prove that doping reigns in other sports too. So, they try to direct attentions of people from cycling to others sports. They note that application 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 criticism. He says that steroids and other related drugs don’t play any essential role in tennis. This person mentions about differences between tennis and cycling.
According to the tennis player, while steroids and other related products benefit in cycling evidentially, these remedies can’t produce any essential changes in tennis players. This person considers that while strength that is needed in cycling can be maximized by doping, the skills which are needed in tennis can’t be perfected by steroids and other related drugs.
Actually, similar arguments are used in other sports as well. Baseball and basketball players also claim that steroids don’t represent any obvious problem in their sports because these products don’t have capacity to enhance performance in their sports.
But it is impossible to doubt about effectiveness of steroids on performance of any sportsperson. Since these products are capable to increase strength, speed and endurance, they have significant role in tennis and other sports.

Anti-doping policy in Belorussia

The president of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko is also the president of the National Olympic Committee. He was very upset after the Belarusian female shot-putter Nadzeya Ostapchuk tested positive for a banned medicine. The president was too upset. The Belarusian president turned out to be a serious fan of sports. He felt angry that representatives of his country spoiled Belarusian’s sports reputation by positives for banned medicines. As a result, he stated that certain changes would take place.
The Belarusian president affirmed that it was needed to criminalize application of forbidden medicines in sports. Thus, sports will be probably clean. This affirmation was pronounced by the Belarusian president after Nadzeya Ostapchuk was caught applying methenolone. This steroid is also known as Primobolan.
The Belarusian president desires to see that his country succeeds in sports on the international scene. If the Belarusian president wants to clean his country’s sports, he will be capable to do it. Some facts display that this person has achieved numerous goals related to his country.
In fact, Alexander Lukashenko is a hard president. He was even accused of rights’ violation. He is capable to change the situation in sports by force as well.
Alexander Lukashenko doesn’t plan to discuss about application of banned drugs in sports. There are other things that should be discussed, according to the president of Belorussia.
Anatoliy Tozik, the Vice-President for Alexander Lukashenko, affirmed that they could establish a sports scientific center which would be sponsored by the state. The center would conduct scientific researches linked with mental and pharmacological support for top athletes. The president agreed to form this center.
It is unknown whether Alexander Lukashenko will clean sports at any cost. Will he utilize his force for this purpose?

Do tennis players use doping products?

David Howman expresses his attitude to anti-doping systems in certain sports organizations. While the director general of the WADA seems to be happy with jobs of several sports organizations, he notes that anti-doping systems in other leagues/teams are not suitable.
For example, David Howman praises the International Tennis Federation (ITF) for its anti-doping policy. The director general of the WADA confirms that anti-doping policy is appropriate in tennis.
But when it comes to the National Basketball Association (NBA), it doesn’t want to adopt its anti-doping policy to that of the WADA. It refuses to add some new drug tests in order to catch those who administer steroids and/or other forbidden drugs. That’s why the director general of the WADA states that the anti-doping system of the NBA is not good enough to detect those that dope. He notes that the NBA should add more complicated new methods as well.
David Howman notes that drug tests conducted in tennis have high quality. But there is a defect in tennis’ anti-doping policy. Numerous tests are conducted during competitions. But few tests take place out-of-competition. That’s why ITF’s anti-doping program is also criticized.
Undoubtedly, no one can confirm that anti-doping system of ITF is perfect. It has certain lacks too. But it is quite adequate.
Thus, you should not think that tennis is clean from doping totally. Certain tennis players probably use steroids and/or related preparations. But it is not as tainted, as some other sports.
 Just one tennis player was suspended for administration of banned preparations. However it seems to prove that tennis is not tainted, it is necessary to take in consideration that there are certain ways to prevent positives. As you probably know, the prominent cyclist Lance Armstrong administered steroids and other related medicines and avoided detection much time. Couldn’t tennis players dope and use the same methods?

Lance Armstrong is dropped by some sponsors

The USADA published a report connected with doping by the celebrated American cyclist Lance Armstrong. According to the dossier, this sportsman applied steroids and other related preparations. After publishing certain sponsors that donated for Lance Armstrong’s charity organization Livestrong decided to cut their relations with this athlete and his foundation.
One of companies that decided to stop sponsoring the organization which fights against cancer is Nike. This company was working much time with the cyclist. Ultimately Nike confirmed that it would not have anything longer with the person who was cheating more than 10 years.
24 Hour Fitness also refused to work with Lance Armstrong anymore.
Certain other companies also made the decision to stop sponsoring Lance Armstrong’s charity organization.
However, Lance Armstrong tried to do anything in order to prevent negative influence of his athletic reputation on the organization which helps persons that suffer from cancer to survive. He announced that he would not be the chairman of the organization anymore. However the sportsman tried to keep sponsors, he couldn’t do it.
As for the USADA, it confirmed that Lance Armstrong was found guilty of doping. As a result, he received lifetime suspension. Moreover, he lost all 7 titles obtained at Tour de France.
But the International Cycling Union (ICU) confirmed that the USADA made a wrong decision. However Lance Armstrong discontinued fighting against accusations pronounced by the USADA, the ICU affirmed that it would appeal the decision even without involvement of the sportsperson.
However Lance Armstrong never tested positive for any prohibited product, it was concluded that he was guilty of doping. It was confirmed that he applied steroids and other banned drugs but he used certain simple as well sophisticated methods in order to avoid positives. Thus, Lance Armstrong was able to dope and remain undetectable.
Now the athlete pays for his cheating. The decision of certain companies to stop sponsoring his organization is a great loss for this person.

NBA officers refuse to adopt their anti-doping program to that of the WADA

The director general of the WADA David Howman states that the National Basketball Association (NBA) anti-doping policy is not sophisticated enough to catch those who take forbidden medications. He affirms that drug testing conducted in the NBA is not suitable. While the NFL and the MLB agreed to accept additional tests, the NBA didn’t agree to do the same things.
The basketball player Derrick Rose also noticed that numerous NBA players administered steroids and other related preparations. This sport is tainted, according to Derrick Rose. It is believed that David Howman’s opinion related to intake of steroids in the NBA is resulted from words said by the former basketball player.
The NBA doesn’t desire to adopt its anti-doping policy to that of the WADA. The NBA officers state that steroids and other doping products don’t have capacity to influence on games and make them unfair. They affirm that just natural abilities and trainings play role in the NBA. According to NBA officers, steroids and other doping products can’t increase performance of basketball players. They consider that performance-enhancing drugs don’t benefit this sport.
Do NBA officers have a right opinion? Aren’t steroids and other related drugs capable to increase performance of those that play basketball? What does the reality manifest? What does scientific literature state about effects of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs?
In fact, anybody knows that steroids and several other preparations benefit in any sport. They just should be administered properly and accompanied by suitable meal and trainings. These medications play significant role in sports. It is impossible to contest effectiveness of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in basketball. Statements of NBA officers are ridiculous.
Of course, any league likes to believe that their sport is not tainted. Nevertheless, it is necessary to see the reality. That’s why the director general of the WADA claims that it is necessary to conduct more and more sophisticated steroid testing in order to catch those that take banned substances.

Police officer Keith Gidelson involved his wife and other policemen in illegal sale of steroids

Illegal sale of steroids is widespread. However law enforcement officers put efforts to eradicate illegal manufacture, distribution, possession and administration of steroids, some policemen are also implicated in such illegal operations. Moreover, as it is determined, certain police officers mastermind illegal deals linked with anabolic steroids and other related products.
The former Philadelphia police officer Keith Gidelson pleaded guilty of illegal sale of steroids and several other drugs, such as HGH, IGF-1, anti-estrogen medications, etc. The preparations which were offered for sale by this person were marketed as Sciroxx products.
Keith Gidelson turned out to be the leader of a drug chain. Thus, he was not selling steroids alone. He was collaborating with several other persons, including his wife and two other police officers.
Those who wanted to obtain steroids contacted the policeman per internet. Thus, customers ordered needed anabolic steroids or/and other related medications. Then these drugs were shipped to the customers.
When shipments arrived, the Philadelphia police officer informed his customers per handy. He called them or sent messages. That’s why it was easy to bust this illicit drug chain. The police officer talked to his customers about steroids and other related drugs quite openly. As for his co-workers, they discussed about anabolic steroids among them, utilizing several terms.
Such anabolic steroids, as Testosterone Enanthate, Trenbolone Enanthate, Nandrolone Decanoate, etc. were offered for sale by Keith Gidelson and his co-workers. These medicines were purchased in China and Europe. Then they were delivered to those that ordered them per internet.  
The Philadelphia police officer will be probably sentenced to imprisonment in January 2013.

Violation of traffic rules and possession of steroids

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

Indian sportspersons obtain steroids from local supplement stores and pharmacies

Sale and application of steroids without a doctor’s prescription are considered to be illicit in India. But illicit sale and usage of steroids and other related medicines prosper in this country. A lot of sportspersons acquire these products at drug stores and supplement stores and take them for increase of muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s athletes tested positive for prohibited drugs at the 2012 London Olympics, attention of authorities was drawn to pharmacies and supplement stores. Local police officers decided to search pharmacies and supplement stores regularly in order to control illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other related preparations. After some raids some pharmacies and supplement stores lost their business licenses.
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 police officers. As it was defined, steroids and other related medicines were sold at this drug store illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were named by police officers. Certain other steroids were sold illegally as well. So, this drug store was shut down.
The Health World supplement store located in Kottakkal was also lately searched. Police officers found that Methandienone, Equipose, Testosterone Undecanoate and some other steroids were offered for sale at this supplement store. Thus, it was shut down too.
Another supplement store which was raided was the AM Nutrition store. But it was not prosecuted because no any steroids were sold at the store.
Law enforcement officers plan to continue raids. Some drug stores and supplement stores may lose their licenses for illicit sale of steroids and other related medications.

Tommy John surgery and increase of throwing speed

High school athletes do a lot in order to enhance their muscles and improve performance. While certain sportspersons put efforts to increase speed, baseball players put efforts in order to increase throwing speed.
What do high school athletes really do for this goal? You probably know that many sportspersons use anabolic steroids in order to gain muscles and enhance performance. But administration of steroids and other related medicines is not the only method that seems to be effective for several athletic purposes. Certain high school athletes want to have the operation ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction which is also called Tommy John surgery.
Actually, high school athletes don’t know about several aspects related to Tommy John surgery. They base their conceptions on the case related to the baseball player Tommy John who got UCL damage during a baseball game. After the damage the baseball player was too discouraged. Tommy John thought that didn’t have any chance more to play baseball professionally. This person came to the surgeon Frank Jobe. The doctor operated this baseball player successfully. After the operation the baseball player returned to baseball. His further career was very successful. He won many games. Thus, this surgery was called 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 suppose that the surgery induced winning because the baseball player won more games after the operation than before. Although high school athletes may suppose appropriately, they have some wrong conceptions about this surgery. They believe that they may be operated in absence of any damage and increase their performance. But high school athletes don’t consider that nobody can return to playing baseball soon after such surgery. Certain period of time is required to get recovery. Furthermore, it is important to consider that certain dangers connected with Tommy John surgery. They may experience irreversible stiff elbow. Several other dangers are also connected with this operation.
So, high school athletes don’t comprehend the essence of this surgery correctly. When they have elbow pains, they visit their doctors, trying to convince them they should be probably subjected to Tommy John surgery.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mother-in-law was troubled without any reason

Maria Shriver didn’t get pregnant during the first three years of her marriage to the famous American bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger. Her mother was in trouble. Since the bodybuilder took steroids, she feared that these products 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 undesirable reactions of steroids, including infertility.
Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed that he saw this report on the desk of his wife occasionally. So, he read it. He laughed much. He claimed that his mother-in-law was out of control.
But Arnold Schwarzenegger’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 kid as a result of his extra-marital relations. Thus, it was obvious that steroids didn’t have any negative influence on reproductive system of this man.
Do steroids produce infertility in male consumers? These preparations suppress natural production of the hormone testosterone. That’s why men who administer these preparations may have infertility. But it is necessary to notice that this side result is not irreversible. When males discontinue applying steroids, their natural production of testosterone is restored. So, this adverse consequence disappears.  
The autobiography written by Arnold Schwarzenegger describes numerous interesting aspects connected with steroids. This prominent bodybuilder took steroids during his competitive career. Anabolic steroids helped him to succeed. Usage of these drugs was not prohibited in professional bodybuilding, when Arnold Schwarzenegger competed.

Timothy Armstrong: steroids influence on health negatively

Timothy Armstrong of the World Health Organization affirms that anabolic steroids are dangerous for public health. While these medicines are frequently administered by sportspeople, bodybuilders and ordinary persons for enhancement of muscle mass and strength, they may have negative impact on physical and psychological health of consumers. Unluckily, dangers related to these medicines are not treated seriously. Although a lot of specialists warn that these preparations may cause serious adverse reactions, a lot of persons continue to take them for performance-enhancing effects.
Timothy Armstrong puts efforts to protect public health. He has presented a speech about usage of steroids at a conference organized by the chairman of the International Olympic Committee Arne Ljungqvist. So, Timothy Armstrong helps to eliminate illegal intake of steroids.
As for Arne Ljungqvist, he put efforts in order to fight against intake of steroids in sports. According to the chairman of the International Olympic Committee, usage of steroids represents a moral problem. Those that administer performance-enhancing don’t compete fairly. They take unfair advantage over those that don’t take these medicines. So, they act inappropriately.
Undoubtedly, Arne Ljungqvist is happy that Timothy Armstrong is also against application of steroids. He confirms that anti-doping agencies should work with the World Health Organization more closely. The united efforts will be able to eliminate intake of doping products from professional sports.
Timothy Armstrong claims that anti-doping agencies should have direct connections with law enforcements and customs officers. If they collaborate, their war on illicit deals linked with steroids and other controlled substances will be more effective. They should inform each other about persons that have something to do with illegal drugs. Thus, they can achieve their goals.

Defense attorney blames steroids for murder committed by his client

Audrey Allen, an 18-month old baby, 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, was invited to spend weekends at their friends’ home. Before he came to their place, he was at a local bar where he consumed much alcohol. He had to care about the baby, when she cried. But Joshua Allen Kruzik beat the child too brutally. As a result, the little girl got numerous serious head injuries. Audrey Allen died at a local hospital.
David Kohn, the defense attorney for the murderer, affirmed that steroids were responsible for the abnormal behavior of his client. It was said that Joshua Allen Kruzik used anabolic steroids. Before the incident he attempted to discontinue applying these drugs but he couldn’t do it. The defense attorney claimed that anabolic steroids caused “roid rage” in Joshua Allen Kruzik. He couldn’t not control his behavior and beat the little child. According to David Kohn, Kruzik was unconscious. However he claimed that Kruzik was ready to take the total responsibility, he added that he was not guilty.
The little girl’s parents also testified that the murderer used anabolic steroids. The mother of the child confirmed that she had syringes at her home. Thus, she injected Kruzik with steroids, when he came. Some other persons also claimed that he applied steroids.
It is strange that anabolic steroids are blamed in this situation. Are these drugs responsible for the murder? Don’t forget that Kruzen has been drunk, when he has beat the baby!
It is unclear whether the judge will accept the steroid excuse.

Steroids increase muscles and strength through influence on natural physiological processes

However natural bodybuilders put efforts to demonstrate that they can be as muscular as steroid users, they fail to do it. Even those who have correct diets and intensive workouts can’t acquire the same muscle mass and endurance like consumers of steroids. Gains which can be acquired because of appropriate intake of steroids and other related remedies are much more obvious than those which are acquired through natural methods.
But you should know that steroids and other doping products can’t enhance muscle mass and strength, if consumers don’t have intensive trainings and appropriate nutrition. Although steroids are able to induce gaining muscles and strength, it is not sufficient only to use these medications. Steroid users must not be lazy individuals. Otherwise, they will fail to acquire wanted results. If steroid users don’t train intensively during intake of doping products, they may get additional problems instead of benefits.
Those that are going to apply steroids in order to add muscles and enhance energy should plan their workouts and nutrition. It is necessary to train intensively. However, it is important to consider 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 appropriately.
Moreover, it is required to plan which kinds of exercises should be performed. Your heart must act appropriately, if you want to increase your muscles with steroids. That’s why cardio exercises should be performed 3-4 hours weekly.
Another aspect which should be considered is nutrition. Muscles can be enhanced, if enough protein is consumed. Steroids and other related medicines can’t increase muscles and add endurance without usual physiological processes. Remember that steroids don’t act magically! They work through stimulation of natural processes which occur in the body.
If you want to enhance your muscle mass and endurance with steroids, you should learn and follow several recommendations linked with diets that are useful for achievement of these goals.

Attitude of Arnold Schwarzenegger to steroid use in bodybuilding

Arnold Schwarzenegger took anabolic steroids. These remedies helped him to have success. The bodybuilder admitted that he succeeded because of these drugs significantly. But he also affirmed that other competitive bodybuilders applied these medicines too. The bodybuilder was aware of the fact that all elite athletes and bodybuilders used anabolic steroids. If Arnold Schwarzenegger had not used doping products, other bodybuilders would have had unfair advantage over him.
Although the celebrated bodybuilder admitted to intake of steroids, he never apologized. Intake of these medications 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 affirmed that he didn’t know about risks related to intake of these medicines. But he also added that earlier bodybuilders didn’t apply increased measures like current bodybuilders.  That’s why it was not dangerous to apply these remedies.
Today it is important to consider that athletes and bodybuilders apply very high dosages that may have negative impact on health. Application of high doses usually causes dangerous irreversible undesirable effects. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger is against usage of steroids for athletic purposes. Measures that were applied by the celebrated bodybuilder were lower by 20 times than those applied by current bodybuilders. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger cooperated with International Federation of Bodybuilders against usage of doping products in competitive bodybuilding.

Why is illegal usage of HGH dangerous for health?

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) has been initially elaborated for clinical purposes. This medicine is recommended for treatment of children with growth disorders and adults that suffer from deficiency of growth hormone and associated troubles. But this medication is often abused. Numerous weightlifters and other athletes apply this medication for athletic purposes. Under laws of certain countries, including the USA, purchase and application of this product for non-therapeutic purposes are considered to be illegal.
However this medicine is illicit without any prescription, it is not a problem to obtain it. This drug is widely available at online pharmacies. Furthermore, steroid dealers sell this medication. Since it doesn’t cost much, many persons have possibility to purchase it.
Those who use HGH illegally abuse also other preparations. They are not limited just by illicit intake of this medicine. Which products are also used by consumers of HGH?
Some scientists decided to conduct a research connected with illegal usage of HGH. They enrolled 230 weightlifters aged 18-40 into the research. The specialists could determine that the most of these weightlifters took not only HGH but also anabolic-androgenic steroids and insulin-like growth factor-1. Moreover, many of them administered recreational drugs, such as cocaine, ecstasy, etc.
Which risks are faced by those that take high quantities of HGH long period of time? Unfortunately, unwanted results resulted from increased measures of this preparation are not studied sufficiently because physicians usually don’t recommend increased doses.  Increased doses are commonly used by those that take this medicine for performance-enhancing effects. But it is known that intake of increased dosages during prolonged period of time may result in severe undesirable consequences. This drug may negatively influence on various systems, including endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular, etc. It is important to be very cautious because enhanced measures of this medicine are linked even with cancer.

Single intraoperative dosage of corticosteroids may increase risk linked with post-op bleeding

More and more children are subjected to tonsillectomies. The number of surgeries in children younger than 15 years old has enhanced obviously.
After tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy kids may have vomiting and nausea. So, doctors recommend taking corticosteroids during surgeries in order to lower these post-operation side results.
Unfortunately, while corticosteroids reduce risks/severity connected with nausea and vomiting, they are associated with several other troubles. They may produce bleeding during and after tonsillectomies. Late researches have demonstrated that the number of complications after tonsillectomies has increased during some last years. Since number of tonsillectomies becomes more enhanced, complications occur more often too.
Certain scientists decided to define whether bleeding occurs after tonsillectomies on account of corticosteroids. They tried to find out whether there is any essential difference in occurring of bleeding between kids who take the corticosteroid dexamethasone during tonsillectomies and those that are not given this medicine. Thus, the specialists enrolled over 300 kids in the research.
Results of the research have displayed that bleeding of the levels I and II are increased by 5% in those who are given a single dose of dexamethasone during tonsillectomy.
So, corticosteroids don’t enhance the risk connected with post-operation bleeding substantially. However prescribers doubt about safety of corticosteroids administered during tonsillectomies, they don’t increase serious bleeding events essentially.
