Lovely11,
I appreciate your thoughtful responses and the information provided. I really wanted to have a conversation about this topic and not get angry at being ignored, which 65 views and not even a pip made me believe was happening. All I saw was non-informational, feel-good or fantasizing topics getting responses on this portion of the site, I certainly wish I had just walked away and not posted again instead of venting my feelings.
I have known men who supplemented with Anabolic and Androgenic Steroids and you are absolutely correct, they start with a small dose and have to continue upping their intake as their body gets used to the amount injected. They inject to protect their liver from being damaged. Many of the men I have known personally were medically trained to perform injections, being Firefighters/EMTs. All really healthy, great guys who were not at all the crazy meatheads with a slew of steroid induced medical problems suggested by popular media, or the FDA in general. I would suggest watching "Bigger, Stronger, Faster" to understand more about what guys like this are really like. Most people just watch media stories about performance enhancers and believe these guys are stupid and reckless assholes/cheaters. There is so much more we are never told. These also had methods of taking the HGH that would not lower their natural productions, such as taking it at low doses every 3-5 days instead of every day.
HGH is something that most professional athletes take, not just the ones who got caught. This is a fact that many people do not want to face. It's sad that some started doing it, and combined with the difficulty in dope-testing for HGH, this makes it so that the only true level playing field is the one where +90% of professional athletes take it. IGF-1, for example is the compound that HGH turns into when it is released in your body, and many simply take this, including one of the Firefighters I know. He said it actually worked better than the HGH. This is impossible to test for. I don't judge the athletes who take this, as they are simply keeping up with the rest of their competitors, and they will continue to do so until real testing procedures are made available to keep everyone clean.
Thanks so much,
Cherry
