I like William Llewellyn but I found this to be pretty vague. What exactly would be considered "long term abuser"? I have my own idea but some Dr's prob think 1 cycle per yr is abuse.
 
What defines a long term abuser of steroids? I'd guess never coming off and/or shit loads of compounds at high doses. This article never really says exactly what the participants were on and for how long. I'm not worried myself just kinda curious
 
That article is so vague and makes alot of assumptions so yes more research is needed to answer that question.

Both cutler and heath seem quite intelligent.
Kai possibly..
 
If not aas we are gone to damage our brains anyways from substance abuse,bad food,water,air,media...life.. why not damage it with what I like you think.
 
For most of my adult life I have, at least done 2- 12 to 16 week cycles a year and still do, at the ripe old age of 65. Mentally, I'm more alert and physically in better shape than most half my age.
There is a lot of missing info in the article, such as, other drugs used, genetics, and "at time lifestyle" of the those involved in the study.
I have several friends near my age and older with the same aas history. Many of the younger group would be humbled, both mentally and physically, in a match up. The key, stay with the lifestyle, within reasonable limits and enjoy what you do.
 
I think There are more dangerous stuff rather than steroids to cause brain damage....

AAS users as a whole tend to almost universally have past and/or present substance abuse problems, certainly significantly more than the typical weightlifter that doesn't use anabolics.

I'm sure the vast majority of us have far more brain damage than the average 'natural weightlifter', but correlation does not always imply causation.
