Anabolic steroids have been around for decades, and since almost at their inception these compounds have been hounded by controversies. Why are they classified as controlled substances? Why the ridicule when someone is found out that he or she is using them? And why the high punishment (heavy fines, prison term) when you’re caught possessing or using them? This is because that although steroids have been with us for so long, they are still misinformation and misconceptions about these drugs. Let’s get to the bottom of this, and try to separate truths from fallacies about anabolic steroids.

What are steroids? Steroids, or anabolic-androgenic steroids to be precise, are synthetic copy testosterone. Testosterone is also known as the premier male sex hormone. These drugs are primarily associated with strength/power athletes because they provide three significant things: muscle mass, strength, and stamina. These three factors play significant roles in strength/power sports.

Now let’s debunk the number three myths about steroids.

Myth #1: Steroids are exclusively used by athletes. Not so, say several surveys which have been carried out purposely to determine the demographics of steroid users. Steroids are not mainly used in the field of athletics. Most steroid users are not athletes, but regular people who just want to look and feel good.

Myth #2: Steroids are dangerous drugs. There is this widespread belief that taking steroids can result eventually to psychological concerns, health issues, and even death. Any type of drug – be it aspirin or antibiotics, a pill or an injectable - has its inherent dangers for the users. Steroids are not exemption to the rule. If you look at steroid-related health cases, they share two common denominators – steroids are either misused or abused.

Myth #3: Steroids are miracle pills. True, steroids can significantly enhance your physique and performance, but anabolic steroids alone would not result to desirable physical attributes. Neither would they make an MVP out of every user. Dedicated training, strict dieting, sound lifestyle, and many other factors are requisites for a champion body and performance.

Why should congress worry about huge mortgage crises, over 100$ oil prices or even the terrorism or poverty in USA, when they can be worries about Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds.  Let’s face it, Barry Bonds was demonized thought of as the next anti-christ, for what? for using steroids.  Now that Roger Clemens is using steroids and human growth hormone (HGH), the story is different.   Roger Clemens is being treated better or is it just that Americans are tired of steroid investigations.
After all, steroids are good for you.  Used properly and in proper dosages (not abused), steroids can help you heal from injuries while help with muscle retention.  Steroids and HGH are used to treat AIDS and cancer patients, prolonging their life.  Steroids can give you an advantage in sports, but come on, what can’t? use some meth or coke and you’ll be hyped up till tomorrow, same with pain killers.

Police using anabolic steroids, does this surprise anyone? In the USA, policemen (and women) have one of the hardest policing jobs in the world, with low manpower, high hours and a variety of crimes - many policemen put their life on the like 60-70% of their work shift. I’ve heard of cops shooting up a Meth head or a PCP user and the guy kept coming at them, ending the situation with the policeman being hurt by some drug user. The problem is that police need the maximum protection they can get. That’s why anabolic steroids should be allowed in the police force. They make the police officer, stronger, faster and much lighter on his feet. More likely to save his life and the life of civilians around him if he’s strong and well prepared for anything.

The days of the fat cop eating doughnuts are over. These days police face huge drug gangs in the projects and offshoots on the streets. From crack runners to big cocaine pushers, the police need all the help they can get to take out the real drugs. That’s why allowing a policeman to use anabolic steroids to be strong, fast and protect his life, should NOT be a crime. After all, how many 150lbs. policemen can overpower a 250lbs. black guy on coke (this is not meant to be racial, just showing a real life Los Angeles example). For police officers, I can understand psychoactive drugs being illegal to use, they make you high and loop your judgment. ON the other hand, steroids help you be strong and recover from injuries and training workouts - they DO NOT get you high. Why are steroids considered so bad for people who are putting their life on the line daily to protect citizens? why not give them the tools they need to overcome anything that comes their way!

<— STEROID TESTING = NOT —> STEROID BUSTING

Walden NY, when we first read about this bust, it was a bit hilarious since we didn’t know where Walden was. Turns out Walden new york is a small village with a population of (wait) 6,000 people. Of course the police has nothing better to do then to arrest people for having Hypodermic Needles and a personal steroid dose. What’s more hilarious is that the man was released on $100 bail! hahaha. And the look of things is that Walden police don’t do much arresting in anything, so they just push drug offenses where they can so they can get their yearly budget from the state.

Can anyone please explain to us why people are being charged with possession of Hypodermic Needles when Hypodermic Needles are given away for FREE to drug addicts by GOVERNMENT run programs? isn’t the point of Hypodermic Needle programs the stopping disease and sickness like AIDS which cost the american taxpayers millions. Let’s face it, drug addicts will be drug addicts. Why then pick on steroid users for having some syringes and needles? is this a small town mentality or what? steroid user = bad man ??? Anabolic steroids don’t kill people, but recreational drugs like cocaine do, so why are anabolic steroids being treated like the plague?

Walden, Officer Marlatt observed a hypodermic needle on the center console. Maccluskey was in the process of preparing to inject steroids.

charged with four counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the seventh degree, eight counts of Possession of a Hypodermic Needle, and various vehicle and traffic offenses.

He was released on $100 bail to return in Walden Justice Court on a future date.
