We present the Steroid.com “Steroids Are Evil” Quote of the Day in an effort to highlight individuals who demonize steroids with outrageous claims. Today’s quote comes from INES GEIPEL, a member of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) 4×100 meter women’s relay team:

[Anabolic steroids] cause neural damage to the brain and that means definite and almost always extreme addiction sickness.

The secret administration of anabolic steroids to East German athletes, especially young girls, is a tragic period in the history of sports. The virilizing and masculinizing effects suffered by women are real. But suggesting that steroids are “almost always” extremely addictive is dishonest.
