Terry Bradshaw has recently clarified his comments on his use of steroids. On the Dan Patrick radio show last week, the Hall of Fame quarterback admitted use of legal steroids back in the 1970s. On Sunday, he drew a distinction between legal steroids and banned anabolic steroids.

“We did steroids to get away the aches and the speed of healing. My use of steroids from a doctor was to speed up [healing after] injury, and I thought nothing of it. . . . It was to speed up the healing process, that was it. It wasn’t to get bigger and stronger and faster.”

Bradshaw further explained that he was referring to therapeutical corticosteroid injections, which are used to reduce inflammation. He emphasized that they were not anabolic steroids that build muscle and sometimes cause extreme side effects.

“I’m not bodybuilding here,” Bradshaw said, laughing about the confusion that stemmed from the interview. “They were not those kind of steroids. They were anti-inflammatories.”

Bradshaw offered the clarification while appearing at a news conference to welcome Michael Strahan to the Fox NFL Sunday team.
Bradshaw suffered neck, wrist and elbow injuries during his career and quit the game for good after suffering an elbow injury near the end of the 1983 season.

Several Steelers players from the 1970s have admitted to using steroids, including the late Steve Courson, whom Bradshaw mentioned in the interview with the program’s host.

Anabolic steroids have legitimate medical uses. They are commonly used in hormone replacement therapy for men with low testosterone levels to improve libido. Other medical uses of anabolic steroids include growth and appetite stimulation, treatment for certain types of anemia, as well as gender dysmorphia.

Non-medical use of anabolic steroids is widespread in sports that require speed, power, and strength. Athletes, such as those in bodybuilding and weightlifting, use anabolic steroids because they enhance performance and physique.

The recent testimony of Hall of Fame trainer Jack Van Berg at a Congressional hearing drove home the point that it is very difficult to determine if equine athletes are on anabolic steroids.

In humans, the tell-tale signs are more obvious – acne breakout, incredible physique on both in male and female users, hair thinning on males, hair growth on females, plus an enhanced performance in the playing field. Most of these physical indications of steroid use do not apply to horses.

In said hearing, Van Berg compared horse training to “chemical warfare” and that there is dearth of scientific proof that would suggest that anabolic steroids make better, stronger, and faster horses.
Dr. Scot Waterman, executive director of the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium, seemed to agree with the trainer. “It’s an impossible question for us to even answer. A .01 (percent) change in performance would alter the outcome of a 1-mile race 50 percent of the time. That is an impossible change to measure with scientific study,” Waterman said.
However, the issue gets more contentious as anecdotal evidence suggests that anabolic steroids could act as performance boosters.

Rick Dutrow openly admitted that all of his horses are administered with anabolic steroid Winstrol (stanozolol) every month. This drug is not banned in three states where the Triple Crown is held. Dutrow is the trainer of Big Brown, who recently won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness races of the Triple Crown.

Big Brown performed poorly in the Belmont Stakes and some speculated that the reason was because Dutrow did not administer the horse with steroids in the 5-week interval between the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes.
“Everybody is trying to figure out why Big Brown didn’t run,” said Dr. Don Catlin, president of the Anti-Doping Research Institute. “I don’t know why. But I do know if I’m on steroids and if you stop them a couple of weeks ago, I’m going through withdrawal and I’m not going to feel like running. But you can’t test for that.”

There is very under rated cycle.  Sustanon and Deca Durabolin is always under rated because people don’t understand their quality.

A good 10 week Sustanon and Deca Durabolin cycle:

week 1-10: 500mgs Sustanon 250/wk

400mgs Deca Durabolin /wk

1mg arimidex /day

This cycle will yield good hard bulking gains with at least 20lbs. of muscle mass in the 10 weeks of steroid use.

There is much talk about how bad steroids are, which is of course false.  Did you know that almost half a million people (a little over 400,000) die from smoking every year? or did you know that almost 100,000 (past 80,000) die from drinking alcohol per year? and did you know that there have been 0 (thats right ZERO) deaths linked to anabolic steroids !

In fact, steroids are routinely used to help AIDS patients and cancer patients, over and over for the past 30 plus years! that’s right, millions of people have relied on steroids to safe their lives.  How many people do you know that rely on smoking or alcohol to save their life? NONE!
