Media creates steroid scandals, if even they don’t exist

Journalists are used to exaggerate any case related to steroids in sports and bodybuilding. Many facts are described in misleading ways. So, steroid scandals appear without any reason. Here is the case.
Rano Izhar, the president of the Singapore Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (SBFF), has acknowledged that he shared guidelines linked with administration of anabolic steroids.
Any person who belongs to the world of bodybuilding knows that steroids, HGH and several other related medications are widely spread and administered by bodybuilders. Certain news websites have written numerous articles, treating the actions of the SBFF president as a steroid scandal. But be reasonable! He has not distributed anabolic steroids, he has just disseminated information.
“The New Paper”, a Singapore’s English-language newspaper, revealed emails between a bodybuilder and the president of the SBFF that were written before Rano Izhar was chosen to be the president. Izhar provided instructions related to steroids cycles to the bodybuilder. The cycles suggested administration of 14 different preparations, including such steroids, as Anadrol 50, Dianabol, Primobolan Depot, etc. Clomid was also recommended.
Izhar affirmed that the guidelines were only for his friend who was an amateur bodybuilder. Furthermore, he was not the president of the SBFF, when he provided the guidelines.
Izhar’s friend was going to take steroids. He decided to do it. Izhar didn’t promote it. He only desired to help his friend. He wished he applied steroids in the safest way.
Izhar acknowledged that he had provided guidelines connected with steroid cycles. He confirmed that he needed to tell his friend which drugs were efficacious and which drugs didn’t work well. He added that when someone asked him about ways to administer steroids, it meant that they would administer them, regardless of the answer. So, the president just felt that he had to note at least the most important things that should be known about steroids.
Izhar has obtained the degree of Doctor in “lifestyle medicine” at the Harvard Medical School. He felt that he had to do everything he could for reduction of harm for those that take steroids and other related drugs.
