100% agree. I know for a fact Ryan Reynolds is on the gas. Does that mean I won't watch deadpool 2 With my son? Nope. I'll be watching. I understand the illegal parts of taking steroids. And I agree if you get caught by law enforcement you should get in trouble. Just like for many years Marijuana was illegal. What did the WWE do? If they catch you, it's a fine. If you get busted by the cops you're on your own and in trouble with the company. The same should be done for steroids. That's a very fair perspective, however I always think back to the longterm risks associated with the use of steroids and heart disease. The amount of wrestlers that have dropped dead from a cardiac arrest is my concern. You're correct, these deaths can be linked back to a multitude of drugs but as a company WWE should be trying to mitigate the risks of having one of their guys keel over in or out of the ring. Not to mention historically they have had a microscope over them with regards to steroid use and it would be negligent of them to not steer away from that. My point is, we know steroids are not healthy, so turning a blind eye to it wouldn't be the greatest decision in the long run for both business and personal reasons. Not to mention PEDs like anabolic steroids are also psychoactive substances. They're volatile, and there's mounting evidence that regular use can rewire the brain. The more they're used, the greater the chance of cognitive disruption and emotional instability. The current crop of steroids will never be cleared by the government for non-treatment related usage. Medical science will have to invent something with less serious side effects in the coming generations. |

I'm not sure how you're missing it. The toxic psychological effects of steroids have become well-known in the mainstream medical community: Article from '02: linkAnd numerous more recent ones. link link |

The toxic psychological effects of steroids have become well-known in the mainstream medical community: Article from '02: linkAnd numerous more recent ones. link link I appreciate you taking the time to gather those studies. Interesting for sure. I think it has to be kept in mind first off that the link between aggression and testosterone has been accepted far before these studies - testosterone plays a major role in different regulations of the body, as we both know. However, all those studies seem to suggest that these are large doses by bodybuilding standards that induce this behaviour - doses that far exceed the recommended usage for today’s athlete. TRT is more prevalent than it has ever been, and testosterone is now given to prepubescent children for the intention of sex gender transition. I highly doubt that this testosterone is the volatile neurological grenade you’re suggesting it is. And don’t get me wrong, some other anabolic steroids are indeed nothing but toxic - such as tren. A lot of those articles discussing the studies seem intended to slant the viewer against steroids as well. Saying they have similar effects on the brain as drugs and antidepressants - the link between higher testosterone levels and it’s relation to dopamine regulation has been recognized for decades. This is one of the reasons it’s used as mood stabilizers with men over 40 on trt. |
