Did anyone catch the 60 Minutes that ran last night?
The news once again stereotyped steroid users as being drug-dealing RAGE monsters.
The story was based on this kid who wanted to as successful as his brother at high school baseball so he bulked up, teen depression hit, he hung himself, his parents blame the roids. As for his depression, they left out the contributions from teen pressures, sport pressures, family pressures and a young teen mind. Should he have been juicing? Probably not, but don't blame his suicide on a cycle of deca & test. They said his hormones crashed so bad from going off cycle, that he was thrown into a roid induced severe depression that caused him to hang himself.

Don't get me wrong, I feel for the parents big time!!! But don't play the blame game of a troubled teen's suicide solely on roids because you don't want to face all the other factors.

I'm not totally angry, just disappointed and frustrated. Too much drama for me.

Did any of you bros see it?

It was a typical steroid-scare story with little factual evidence and lots of emotion.
 
its on the same time as stern where i live so no i didn't watch it - i checked it out during the commercials and he looked like a punk kid, what a shame though, i feel for the family but he should have stayed away from the anadrol 50 that stuff give me anxiety and cause depression when i take it, NOT THAT I'M BLAMING HIS DEATH ON THE ROIDS.. One thing i did like was the roids they had, nice pharmaceutical grade roids, yum yum..
