Millard Baker+ writes about anabolic steroids and performance enhancing drugs and their use and impact in sport and society. He discusses the medical and non-medical uses of anabolic-androgenic steroids while advocating a harm reduction approach to steroid education.
The American public believes that teenagers are facing much more serious problems in high schools today than the threat of anabolic steroids according to a study published by the Center for Social Development and Education (CSDE) at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Americans were incredibly accurate in their assessment. However, CSDE researchers refused to accept this. Instead, they became advocates guilty of pandering to the anti-steroid organizations that funded their research.
To say the movie reinforces negative bodybuilding stereotypes is an understatement. “Pain & Gain“ is bad for bodybuilders. And it is even worse for steroid users. Bodybuilders aren’t just portrayed as dumb, their stupidity seemingly has no limits. Steroid users aren’t just portrayed as prone to “roid rage”, the extent of their violence is utterly sadistic.

The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces do it all when it comes to investigating terrorism threats against the United States.

A California-based UGL was busted after its Chinese steroid powder source “ZQ” labeled a steroid package as containing two kilograms of pentaerythritol.

The Taylor Hooton Foundation has been hired by the Rhode Island Interscholastic League (RIIL) to conduct “anti-steroid” assemblies in Rhode Island high schools during the 2013-2014 academic year. In an unusual turn of events, money spent by bodybuilders on steroids and hGH has ended up in the pocket of THF president Don Hooton. Even stranger was the possibility that this may not have happened without the use of United States anti-terrorism laws!
The New York Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez purchased documents linking him to the Biogenesis steroid scandal in an effort to suppress incriminating information. How do we know? Because the New York Times tells us so. The perpetuation of the A-Rod witch-hunt is made possible through the magic of anonymous sources and the generous use of hearsay. [...]
IFBB pro bodybuilder Nasser el Sonbaty died in his sleep on March 20, 2013 after being ill for several months. Given that Nasser el Sonbaty admitted using anabolic steroids in a sport where steroid use is pervasive, many people predictably blamed Nasser’s death on his use of steroids. Here’s what we think of the anti-steroid crusaders who want to condemn Nasser in the days following his death.
Two men involved in the domestic distribution of Sciroxx-brand anabolic steroids have pleaded guilty in the United States District Court in Providence. Edmond Paolucci and Patrick Cunningham admitted responsibility for importing bulk quantities of steroids and ancillary drugs, repackaging them in retail-size units with the Sciroxx label and shipping them to customers in the United [...]
