Now although this information is somewhat shocking to the mainstream public, many athletes might be thinking to themselves… “Why don’t they just leave it alone? This isn’t anybody’s business but mine. It’s not like we are slugging down 12 packs of beer... smoking cigarettes... dabbling with marijuana... or even worse... smoking crack or anything like that! We are actually living a much healthier life than 90% of the population!” Still other athletes get angry at the fact that you never hear stories publicized about the countless hours of training, the meticulous diets, or the all encompassing intense physical and mental preparation required to get to the top. All of this is almost forgotten at the mere words of "performance enhancement". In fact, as soon as the words “performance enhancement” are mentioned… everything goes out the window and all athletic achievements, no matter how great or small, are tainted forever.

Although popular opinion would have you think otherwise, this negative publicity associated with "performance enhancement" might be overblown to a certain degree. This is because the mere mention of the words “performance enhancement” carries with it an irreprehensible negative connotation. Have we forgotten something here? Was it not the unsafe nature of the performance enhancing compounds that was supposed to be the core problem to begin with and not the betterment of your physical performance itself? Lets face it… If steroids weren’t illegal or more importantly… unsafe… a whole lot more people would be using them. That is just a stone cold fact. People want that extra edge to look great and be strong… and if it wasn’t physically harmful… would it really be all that bad? I mean granted… certain steroids have been proven dangerous. However, what if there existed anabolics that were safe, legal and that promised an intense potential for increasing muscle size and strength? Would these compounds be shunned upon then? Would safe, powerful anabolics have their rightful place in professional sports… or would political bureaucracy once again dictate public opinion via private funding of special interest groups in the corrupt world of politics to look unfavorably upon them? Or even worse... would the News Media make widespread use of this propaganda to create unfounded... yet shocking stories that were great for their own financial benefit in the form of negative publicity for higher ratings? This is done all too often as a means of altering public opinion and has been performed with extreme effectiveness. Believe it or not… these are the primary reasons why there is such bad press out there about performance enhancement agents today!
