Mark McGwire’s baseball career is successful

The American professional baseball player and coach Mark McGwire gets rid of his past connected with steroid use successfully. He gains his celebrity again. This person is actively implicated in professional baseball again.
Although Mark McGwire sees that he doesn’t have any chance to enter into the Hall of Fame, he doesn’t become discouraged. He still likes baseball.
St. Louis Cardinals were coached by Mark McGwire two seasons. Then this person planned to discontinue coaching this team because he desires to spend more time with his family. Fortunately, 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. He agreed. Coaching this team will not disturb this man to spend sufficient time with his wife and children because he needs only an hour in order to drive from his home to the Dodgers Stadium.
Mark McGwire destroyed his reputation because he had applied anabolic steroids. After the American baseball player and coach was found guilty of doping he didn’t desire to comment anything about these remedies. Although journalists asked him about application of steroids by him and other baseball players, Mark McGwire refused to answer these questions. He noticed that affirmations about usage of steroids by other sportspersons could jeopardize his family and friends.  
Ultimately the American baseball player and coach admitted to administering forbidden drugs. He realized that he made a serious mistake, taking these drugs. Mark McGwire realized that he didn’t act properly. He apologized for violation of anti-doping laws. Then the American sportsman and coach was allowed to return to professional baseball. So, he started to restore his reputation which was spoiled on account of the mistake linked with usage of forbidden remedies.

GNC’s clerk supplied undercover police officer with two vials of steroids

Sports nutrition stores offer for sale not just true dietary supplements. They label steroidal substances as nutrition supplements and sell them. But authorities put efforts to control and avoid distribution of steroids as if they were just supplements. That’s why clerks of sports nutrition stores distribute steroids illegally. Those that come to such shops are frequently informed that they may buy steroids too.
 But these factors are known not only by steroid users but also by law enforcements. So, law enforcements conduct undercover investigations in order to bust sports nutrition stores that offer steroids for sale. Clerks should know that if a customer wants to purchase steroids, arranging a deal outside the store, he must be an undercover agent. That’s why those that are involved in illegal operations connected with sale of steroids should be very careful to avoid legal problems. Although they know about these aspects, they make common mistakes which lead to arrests, charges and imprisonment.
Let take as an example a clerk of the General Nutrition Centers (GNC) store located in East Walpole (Massachusetts). George Touma sold anabolic steroids along with nutrition supplements. When police officers were informed about illegal operations of this man, they started an investigation. The investigation lasted about a month and was led by The Walpole Police Department.
An undercover police officer came to the shop frequently and purchased nutrition supplements. He was speaking with the clerk very frequently. So, a friendly relation was formed. Finally they discussed about steroids. The undercover police officer said that he would like to obtain steroids. Thus, he agreed to obtain two vials of steroids from George Touma. The agent had to give $300 for the preparations. The deal was arranged outside the store. After the purchase had taken place police officers arrested the clerk.
As a result, the clerk of the GNC was charged with illegal possession and distribution of steroids.

Anti-doping policies are not effective enough to catch steroid users

Essential changes occurred in certain types of sports after the USADA published its dossier on the famous cyclist Lance Armstrong. The well-known American cyclist was taking anabolic steroids and other related medicines throughout the entire athletic career but he never tested positive for any banned medicine. He applied some efficacious methods to prevent detection. Nevertheless, finally he turned out to be guilty of doping.
Lance Armstrong’s doping case has displayed that anti-doping programs failed. Thus, they must be altered. Otherwise, competitions will never be fair. We’ll never distinguish real sports stars.
These factors influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Several sports organizations affirmed that anti-doping programs should be altered in order to catch those that apply anabolic steroids and/or other related products.
Not only anti-doping agencies but also athletes affirm that anti-doping policies should be modified. Some athletes want to assure that their sport is clean. For example, certain tennis players affirm that more drug testing should take place in tennis. It is necessary to note that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, think that anti-doping program is not quite efficient in tennis. They argue that more drug testing is required in order to be sure that tennis is free of doping.
Novak Djokovic, a Serbian tennis player, said that he would submit to more drug testing in order to induce cleaning tennis of dopers.
The World №2 tennis player Roger Federer also affirmed that more tests for forbidden drugs should be conducted in tennis. He mentioned that earlier he was subjected to more tests. Then the number of tests became lower in tennis.
When it comes to the Scottish tennis player Andy Muray, he stated that more out-of-competition testing should take place. While tennis players are always tested during competitions, they are not tested frequently while being not in competitions.

Murderers are less prosecuted than legendary American cyclist

The USADA has published a report on the famous cyclist Lance Armstrong.
Which impression do readers get, when they read this dossier? It is affirmed that many individuals consider that every teammate of this famous cyclist has applied anabolic steroids and/or other forbidden substances. But is it true impression? Has every Lance Armstrong’s teammate doped?
According to the report on this sportsman, 11 teammates testified against him, affirming that he used performance-enhancing drugs. Furthermore, it was claimed that Lance Armstrong and the most mates of his team used sophisticated methods in order to be capable to dope and avoid detection.
However some Lance Armstrong’s teammates admitted to administering steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs, 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 affirmed that he neither doped, nor saw Lance Armstrong using anabolic steroids and/or other related preparations.
When it comes to Patrick Jonker, his statements were like those of Julian Dean. He affirmed that he had never used any forbidden preparations. He confirmed that he competed cleanly and didn’t take any unfair advantage.
According to Patrick Jonker, intake of anabolic steroids and other related remedies is a serious problem in the sport of cycling. He thinks that numerous cyclists dope. He believes that it is necessary to fight against usage of steroids and other related preparations in cycling. But he affirms that appropriate methods should be applied by anti-doping agencies. This athlete is full of anger, saying about prosecution related to Lance Armstrong.  Patrick Jonker thinks that murderers are less prosecuted than the famous cyclist.

Do tennis players use steroids?

The Scottish tennis player Andy Murray claims that tennis is not tainted by application of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. He thinks that usage of doping products doesn’t represent any problem in this sport. He affirms that tennis is relatively clean. If you compare this sport to others, you can assure that it is free from doping, according to Andy Murray. But the tennis player realizes that this sport is not entirely clean. This person acknowledges that some tennis players use banned remedies as well.
If you take cycling as an example, you may notice that it is associated with allegations regarding doping by the famous cyclist Lance Armstrong. Cycling commentators and journalists try to manifest that doping reigns in other sports too. So, they try to direct attentions of people from cycling to others sports. They note that usage of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs is a problem not only in cycling. Tennis turned out to be criticized by them quite frequently.
Andy Murray decided to respond to such critic words. He says that steroids and other doping products don’t play any significant role in tennis. He mentions about differences between tennis and cycling.
According to the tennis player, while steroids and other related preparations benefit in cycling obviously, these remedies can’t cause any significant changes in tennis players. This athlete believes that while strength which is needed in cycling can be enhanced by doping, the skills which are required in tennis can’t be perfected by steroids and other doping products.
In fact, similar arguments are utilized in other sports as well. Baseball and basketball players also affirm that steroids don’t represent any obvious problem in their sports because these medications don’t have ability to enhance performance in their sports.
But it is impossible to contest effects of steroids on performance of any sportsperson. Since these drugs are able to enhance strength, speed and endurance, they have great role in tennis and other sports.

Criminalization of doping in Belarusian Republic

The president of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko is also the president of the National Olympic Committee. He was very upset after the Belarusian shot-putter Nadzeya Ostapchuk tested positive for a prohibited preparation. The president was too upset. Lukashenko turned out to be a serious fan of sports. He felt ashamed that representatives of his country spoiled Belarusian’s sports reputation by positives for banned preparations. As a result, he said that certain changes would be added to laws.
Alexander Lukashenko claimed that it was needed to criminalize application of forbidden medicines in sports. So, sports will be probably clean. This statement was pronounced by the Belarusian president after Nadzeya Ostapchuk was caught taking methenolone. This medication is also known as Primobolan.
The Belarusian president wants to see that his country succeeds in sports on the international scene. If Alexander Lukashenko wants to clean his country’s sports, he will be able to do it. Several facts show that this person has reached numerous goals related to his country.
In fact, Lukashenko is a strict president. He was even accused of human rights abuses. He is capable to change the situation in sports by force as well.
The president of Belorussia doesn’t intend to talk about administration of banned drugs in sports. There are other aspects that should be discussed, according to the president of Belorussia.
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 connected with mental and pharmacological support for top sportspersons. The Belarusian president agreed to establish this center.
It is unknown whether the president will clean sports at any cost. Will he utilize his force for this purpose?

Tennis players are rarely tested out-of-competitions

David Howman expresses his attitude to anti-doping systems in several sports organizations. While the director general of the WADA is happy with jobs of certain sports organizations, he notes that anti-doping policies in other leagues/teams are not suitable.
For example, David Howman praises the International Tennis Federation (ITF) for its anti-doping system. David Howman says that anti-doping policy is appropriate in tennis.
But as for the National Basketball Association (NBA), it doesn’t agree to adopt its anti-doping system to that of the WADA. It refuses to add some new drug tests in order to catch those who take steroids and/or other prohibited medications. That’s why the director general of the WADA states that the anti-doping policy of the NBA is not good enough to detect those that dope. He affirms that the NBA should add more complicated new methods as well.
The director general of the WADA affirms that drug tests conducted in tennis are of high quality. But there is a defect in tennis’ anti-doping policy. A lot of tests take place during competitions. But few tests are conducted out-of-competition. That’s why ITF’s anti-doping policy is also criticized.
Undoubtedly, no one can affirm that anti-doping policy of ITF is perfect. It has several lacks too. But it is quite adequate.
Thus, you should not think that tennis is clean from doping entirely. Some tennis players are likely to administer steroids and/or related medicines. But it is not as tainted, as some other sports.
 Only one tennis player was suspended for usage of forbidden medicines. However it seems to prove that tennis is clean, it is important to take in consideration that there are several ways to prevent positives. As you probably know, the cyclist Lance Armstrong took steroids and other related medications and avoided detection much time. Couldn’t tennis players act the same way?

Lance Armstrong resigns from Livestrong to keep sponsors

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

Doping by basketball players

The WADA’s director general David Howman confirms that the National Basketball Association (NBA) anti-doping program is not sophisticated enough to detect those who take prohibited medications. He states that drug testing conducted in the NBA is not proper. 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 affirmed that numerous NBA players took steroids and other related preparations. This sport is not clean, according to the former basketball player. It is believed that David Howman’s point of view linked with  administration of steroids in the NBA is resulted from words said by Derrick Rose.
The NBA doesn’t agree to adopt its anti-doping program to that of the WADA. The NBA officers affirm that steroids and other related products don’t have ability to influence on games and make them unfair. They claim that only natural abilities and workouts play role in the NBA. According to NBA officers, steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs are not able to increase performance of basketball players. They say that doping products don’t benefit this sport.
Do NBA officers have a correct point of view? Aren’t steroids and other doping products capable to increase performance of those who play basketball? What do facts show? What do scientific journals affirm about effects of steroids and other related preparations?
Actually, everyone knows that steroids and some other products benefit in any sport. They just should be used appropriately and accompanied by suitable diets and workouts. These products play great role in sports. It is impossible to contest effectiveness of steroids and other doping products in basketball. Affirmations of NBA officers are ridiculous.
Of course, any sport organization likes to believe that their sport is not tainted. Nevertheless, it is necessary to see the reality. That’s why David Howman claims that it is important to conduct more and more sophisticated steroid testing in order to catch those who apply banned drugs.

Violation of steroid laws by Philadelphia police officer

Illegal distribution of anabolic steroids prospers. Although law enforcement officers try to eradicate illegal production, sale, possession and intake of anabolic steroids, some police officers are also implicated in such illegal operations. Furthermore, as it is revealed, some policemen mastermind illicit deals linked with anabolic steroids and other related products.
The former Philadelphia police officer Keith Gidelson was found guilty of illicit sale of steroids and several other medicines, such as HGH, IGF-1, anti-estrogen preparations, etc. The medicines that were sold by this policeman were marketed as Sciroxx drugs.
Keith Gidelson turned out to be the leader of a steroid chain. So, he was not selling steroids alone. He was collaborating with some other persons, including his wife and two other police officers.
Those who wanted to obtain anabolic steroids contacted the Philadelphia policeman per internet. Thus, customers ordered needed steroids or/and other related preparations. Then these preparations were shipped to the clients.
When orders 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 steroid ring. Keith Gidelson talked to his clients about anabolic steroids and other related drugs quite openly. When it comes to his co-workers, they discussed about anabolic steroids among them, utilizing several terms.
Such steroids, as Testosterone Enanthate, Trenbolone Enanthate, Nandrolone Decanoate, etc. were sold by Keith Gidelson and his co-workers. These medicines 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.

Don’t draw attention of policemen by violation of traffic rules while possessing steroids!

Several bodybuilders are caught possessing anabolic steroids and other illegal drugs because they make several mistakes while possessing these medicines. For example, a bodybuilder intends to take performance-enhancing drugs. He finds a trustworthy online drug store and places an order for some preparations. Then he pays for these drugs. The order is sent. The bodybuilder comes to a post office and takes the package that contains the preparations that have been ordered by him. Everything seems to be successful. The package has not been intercepted. The preparations have not been confiscated. This person takes the medicines and drives home.
Of course, the bodybuilder can’t wait until he arrives home to begin his cycle with these medicines. He desires to be at home, take the preparations and look in the mirror and see wanted results. Thinking about potential benefits and improvement of appearance, this bodybuilder violates traffic rules. He exceeds speed because he wants to be at home sooner. Furthermore, this man has another problem. He has a suspended driver’s license. Since policemen see that this man 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, the policemen find that this person possesses steroids and other illegal preparations. This person gets legitimate problems. His dreams don’t become real. He gets troubles 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. So, he got legitimate troubles. Since he violated some traffic rules, 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.
So, if you possess steroids and/or other related medicines while driving your car, don’t make common mistakes! Don’t violate traffic rules! Avoid driving with a suspended driver’s license! So, you can avoid legitimate problems.

Legal problems of Indian supplement stores and pharmacies

Sale and application of steroids without a health care provider’s prescription are considered to be illicit in India. But illegal distribution and usage of steroids and other related products prosper in this state. A lot of sportspersons get these products at pharmacies and supplement stores and apply them in order to increase muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s athletes tested positive for banned medicines at the 2012 London Olympics, attention of authorities was drawn to drug stores 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 drugs. After several raids certain drug stores and supplement stores had been shut down.
Recently police officers raided 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 learnt, steroids and other related drugs were sold at this pharmacy illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were named by law enforcement officers. Several other steroids were sold illicitly too. Thus, this pharmacy was shut down.
The Health World supplement store located in Kottakkal was also recently raided. Police officers saw 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.
Police officers plan to continue raids. Some pharmacies and supplement stores may lose their licenses for illegal sale of steroids and other related products.

Tommy John surgery and successful baseball career

High school athletes do a lot in order to enhance their muscles and improve performance. While several sportspersons put efforts to increase speed, baseball players put efforts in order to enhance throwing speed.
What do high school athletes really do for this purpose? As you know, numerous sportspeople take anabolic steroids in order to add muscles and enhance performance. But intake of steroids and other related drugs is not the only way that seems to be effective for certain athletic purposes. Some 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 conditions connected with Tommy John surgery. They base their points of view on the case connected with the baseball player Tommy John that received UCL damage during a baseball game. After the damage he was too unhappy. Tommy John thought that didn’t have any chance longer to play professional baseball. This person visited the surgeon Frank Jobe. The doctor operated this man successfully. After the operation Tommy John came back to baseball. Tommy John’s further career was very successful. He won a lot of games. So, this surgery was called after this baseball player: Tommy John surgery.
When high school athletes find out about Tommy John, they want to become as excellent players, as he was. They believe that the surgery promoted winning because the baseball player won more games after the operation than before. Although high school athletes may suppose properly, they have some misconceptions about this operation. They think that they may be operated in absence of any damage and increase their performance. But high school athletes don’t take into account that no one can return to playing baseball soon after such operation. Certain period of time is needed to receive recovery. Furthermore, it is important to take in consideration that several dangers related to Tommy John surgery. They may get irreversible stiff elbow. Several other dangers are also related to this operation.
Thus, high school athletes don’t understand the essence of this surgery properly. When they have elbow pains, they let their physicians know about this problem, trying to convince them they should be probably subjected to Tommy John surgery.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mother-in-law studied side effects of steroids

Maria Shriver didn’t become pregnant during the first three years of her marriage to the prominent American bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger. Her mother was troubled by the situation. Since the bodybuilder used steroids, she feared that these products could cause infertility in him. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mother-in-law gave a scientific report about steroids to her daughter. The report described potential undesirable reactions of steroids, including infertility.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said that he found this report on the desk of his wife causally. 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 the bodybuilder became parents of four children. Furthermore, Arnold Schwarzenegger got a kid 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 person.
Do steroids cause infertility in male consumers? These products suppress natural production of the hormone testosterone. That’s why men that apply these drugs may have infertility. But it is important to understand that this undesirable consequence is not irreversible. When males discontinue taking steroids, their natural production of testosterone is restored. Thus, this undesirable effect disappears.  
The autobiography written by Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals numerous interesting aspects linked with steroids. This famous bodybuilder administered steroids during his competitive career. Anabolic steroids promoted winning. Usage of these drugs was not banned in professional bodybuilding, when Arnold Schwarzenegger competed.

Links between steroids and public health

Timothy Armstrong of the World Health Organization confirms that anabolic steroids are dangerous for public health. While these products are often administered by sportspeople, bodybuilders and ordinary individuals for increase of muscle mass and endurance, they may have negative influence on physical and psychological health of users. Unluckily, risks related to these medications are not taken seriously. Although many experts warn that these preparations may produce grave negative results, a lot of individuals continue to take them for athletic purposes.
Timothy Armstrong puts efforts to protect public health. He has presented a speech about administration of steroids at a conference organized by the chairman of the International Olympic Committee Arne Ljungqvist. So, Timothy Armstrong helps to eradicate illegal intake of steroids.
As for Arne Ljungqvist, he put efforts in order to fight against usage of steroids in sports. According to this person, usage of steroids represents a moral problem. Those that take performance-enhancing don’t compete fairly. They take unfair advantage over those who don’t administer these preparations. Thus, they act improperly.
Undoubtedly, Arne Ljungqvist is happy that Timothy Armstrong is also against application of steroids. He affirms that anti-doping agencies should work with the World Health Organization more closely. The united efforts will be capable to eradicate intake of performance-enhancing drugs from professional sports.
Timothy Armstrong confirms that anti-doping agencies should have direct links with law enforcements and customs officers. If they work together, their war on illicit deals related to steroids and other controlled substances will be more successful. They should inform each other about persons that have something to do with illicit medicines. Thus, they can reach their goals.

Steroid-using US marine killed baby

Audrey Allen, an 18-month old girl, was killed by Joshua Allen Kruzik.
The little girl was killed 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 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 very cruelly. As a result, the baby got many severe head injuries. The baby died at a local hospital.
David Kohn, the defense attorney for Joshua Allen Kruzik, affirmed that steroids were responsible for the abnormal behavior of his client. It was affirmed that the killer used anabolic steroids. Before the incident he attempted to discontinue using these preparations but he couldn’t do it. David Kohn confirmed that anabolic steroids produced “roid rage” in Joshua Allen Kruzik. He couldn’t not control his behavior and beat the little child. According to the defense attorney, his client was unconscious. Although he claimed that Kruzik was ready to assume the entire responsibility, he added that he was not guilty.
The baby’s parents also confirmed that their friend applied anabolic steroids. The mother of the child confirmed that she possessed syringes at her home. So, she injected Kruzik with steroids, when he came. Several other individuals also claimed that he applied steroids.
It is strange that anabolic steroids are demonized in this case. Are these medications responsible for the crime? Take in consideration that Joshua Allen Kruzik has been drunk, when he has killed the child!
It is unclear whether the judge will accept the steroid excuse.

Steroids are not magic remedies

Although natural bodybuilders put efforts to show that they can be as muscular as consumers of steroids, they fail to do it. Even those who have appropriate nutrition and intensive workouts can’t obtain the same muscle mass and endurance like consumers of steroids. Gains which can be acquired because of proper administration of steroids and other related drugs are much more significant than those which are obtained through natural ways.
But you should know that steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs can’t enhance muscle mass and energy, if consumers don’t have hard workouts and suitable diets. Although steroids can promote getting muscles and energy, it is not sufficient just to use these medications. Steroid users must not be lazy individuals. Otherwise, they will fail to get needed results. If consumers of steroids don’t train hardly during administration of performance-enhancing drugs, they may get additional problems instead of positive effects.
Those that are going to use steroids in order to get muscles and increase strength should plan their trainings and diets. It is important to train hardly. However, it is necessary to take into account that muscles don’t grow, if they don’t have any rest. That’s why it is important to have well-planned trainings. Trainings and time of rest should be rotated appropriately.
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 be performed 3-4 hours every week.
Another aspect that should be taken into account is nutrition. Muscles can be increased, if enough protein is consumed. Steroids and other related medications can’t enhance 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 enhance your muscle mass and endurance with steroids, you should learn and follow some recommendations related to nutrition that are useful for achievement of these results.

Doses of steroids used by Arnold Schwarzenegger were lower by 20 times than those taken by current bodybuilders

Arnold Schwarzenegger took anabolic steroids. These preparations helped him to have success. The famous bodybuilder acknowledged that he succeeded because of these drugs essentially. But he also confirmed that other competitive bodybuilders used these drugs too. Arnold Schwarzenegger was aware of the fact that all elite athletes and bodybuilders applied anabolic steroids. If Arnold Schwarzenegger had not taken performance-enhancing drugs, other bodybuilders would have had unfair advantage over him.
However the celebrated bodybuilder admitted to usage of steroids, he never apologized. Intake of these products was not prohibited, when Arnold Schwarzenegger competed. Usage of steroids and other related products didn’t represent any problem in bodybuilding during that time.
Arnold Schwarzenegger mentioned that he didn’t know about risks linked with administration of these medicines. But he also added that earlier bodybuilders didn’t administer increased doses like current bodybuilders.  That’s why it was not dangerous to use these preparations.
Today it is necessary to consider that athletes and bodybuilders use very increased quantities which may have negative impact on health. Usage of high dosages usually causes grave permanent adverse results. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger is against usage of steroids for performance-enhancing effects. Quantities that were taken by the prominent bodybuilder were lower by 20 times than those used by current bodybuilders. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger cooperated with International Federation of Bodybuilders against intake of doping products in competitive bodybuilding.

Cancer may be developed because of HGH

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) has been originally introduced for medical purposes. This medication is prescribed to treat children with growth disorders and adults that experience deficiency of growth hormone and associated health problems. But this drug is often abused. Many weightlifters and other athletes apply this preparation for athletic needs. Under laws of certain countries, including the USA, purchase and usage of this medicine for non-medical needs are considered to be illicit.
Although this drug is illicit without any prescription, it is not difficult to obtain it. This drug is widely available at online pharmacies. Furthermore, street dealers sell this medicine. Since it doesn’t cost much, numerous individuals have possibility to obtain it.
Those who administer HGH illegally abuse also other medications. They are not limited only by illegal administration of this product. Which products are also used by consumers of HGH?
Some specialists decided to conduct a research related to illegal intake of HGH. They enrolled 230 weightlifters aged 18-40 into the study. The experts could learn that the most of these weightlifters applied not only HGH but also anabolic-androgenic steroids and insulin-like growth factor-1. Furthermore, many of them applied recreational drugs, such as cocaine, ecstasy, etc.
Which dangers are faced by those who apply increased doses of HGH prolonged period of time? Unluckily, unwanted consequences caused by high dosages of this preparation are not studied sufficiently because health care providers usually don’t recommend increased measures.  Increased doses are commonly taken by those that apply this medicine for performance-enhancing effects. But it is known that administration of high dosages during prolonged period of time may result in grave side effects. This product may affect different systems, including endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular, etc. It is important to be very careful because high dosages of this drug are associated even with cancer.

Does dexamethasone result in post-op bleeding?

More and more children are subjected to tonsillectomies. The number of operations in children younger than 15 years old has increased substantially.
After tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy kids may have vomiting and nausea. So, health care providers recommend applying corticosteroids during operations in order to reduce these post-operation adverse effects.
Unluckily, while corticosteroids minimize risks/severity connected with nausea and vomiting, they are associated with several other problems. They may cause bleeding during and after tonsillectomies. Several researches have showed that the number of complications after tonsillectomies has increased during certain last years. Since number of tonsillectomies becomes more increased, complications appear more frequently too.
Certain specialists decided to know whether bleeding occurs after tonsillectomies on account of corticosteroids. They tried to learn whether there is any substantial difference in appearing of bleeding between children that administer the corticosteroid dexamethasone during tonsillectomies and those that don’t receive this product. Thus, the scientists enrolled over 300 children in the trial.
Results of the study have manifested that bleeding of the levels I and II are enhanced by 5% in those who apply a single measure of dexamethasone during tonsillectomy.
Thus, corticosteroids don’t increase the risk connected with post-operation bleeding obviously. However physicians doubt about safety of corticosteroids applied during tonsillectomies, they don’t increase serious bleeding events obviously.
