On Tuesday, Canseco said a gel he was using to try to restore his testosterone level wasn’t working, so he went to a Tijuana pharmacy seeking something better.
“I didn’t go down there looking for steroids,” Canseco said while seated on a bench outside the courtroom with his girlfriend, who gave only her first name, Heidi. “I needed something to help me get my own levels back to normal, just to get me to, you know, normal working conditions, I guess.
“Well, when you have no testosterone level, you’re depressed, you lose muscle mass, no sex drive, no libido, you have nothing,” he added. “You’re kind of like tired, depressed all the time. You just don’t want to do anything.”
Comedian Lewis Black will decide whether anabolic steroid use or breast enlargement surgery is the root of all evil Wednesday night on Lewis Black’s Root of All Evil showing on Comedy Central at 10:30 PM EDT. Even Comedy Central fails to give anabolic steroids a fair defense. After all, how can boobs lose out to steroids? (”Steroids vs. Boob Jobs - The Case,” August 5).
Black’s Comedy Central show examines the worst of the worst: Are Steroids worse than Boob Jobs? That depends on whether you want real shrunken testicles or fake huge breasts.
Which is more of disgrace: That Barry Bonds will never see the inside of the Hall of Fame, or that Pamela Anderson can’t see her own feet?
To decide, comedians Greg Giraldo and Andy Daly bump chests in the court of the Honorable Judge Lewis Black, the ultimate evaluator of evil. … Read the rest of this entry »
Make Me Heal, a celebrity plastic surgery gossip site, critiques comedian Carrot Top’s extensive cosmetic surgery and also repeats accusations that he used anabolic steroids to build a more muscular physique. The gossip site goes on to describe one of the most bizarre and contradictory alleged side effects of steroids (”Carrot Top: Plastic Surgery Disaster In The Making,” July 14)!
Carrot Top looks almost feminine and soft (an effect that is furthered by heavy eyeliner), which can be a side effect of steroids, which he almost certainly uses to achieve his hard and toned body.
Say what? Steroids can make one look “feminine and soft” and at the same time “hard and toned”?! … Read the rest of this entry »
Dave Palumbo of Muscular Development Magazine reported that at least one IFBB pro bodybuilder has been asked to submit to a random drug test.
…I was contacted by an IFBB athlete in good standing who was sent a registered letter that informed this person that they were selected for a random drug test.As a result of this selection, they had 72 hours to report to a designated testing facility where they were required to submit a urine sample for analysis.The letter also explained that a failed drug test would result in suspension from the IFBB for a designated period of time.Furthermore, all test results, whether positive or negative, are being kept private; apparently to prevent embarrassment and/or loss of future potential income.Failure to provide urine samples within the designated 72-hour period is being considered a failed test.
[The] IFBB has implemented a testing protocol in the IFBB Professional League to “protect integrity and future of the sport.” The testing was implemented in response to other professional sports being “killed by the publicity” surrounding doping. Details of the IFBB’s new testing protocol were not revealed only that “there will be some testing throughout the coming year.” … Read the rest of this entry »
Fitness competitor Julie Coram has retained Rick Collins’ firm, Collins, McDonald & Gann, to represent her after she tested positive for metabolites of three different anabolic steroids, boldenone, oxandrolone and DHEA. The urinary metabolites were detected in a sample provided after winning the Ainsley McSorley FAME Model Search Championships in Winnipeg. As a result, Coram lost her pro card and was banned from future FAME World Tour events.
Coram’s attorney Michael DiMaggio will undoubtedly expose FAME and World Natural Sports Organization (WNSO) for their incompent, inconsistent, hypocritical and ultimately meaningless attempt at achieving a “natural” and steroid-free physique competition. … Read the rest of this entry »
NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw admitted to using steroids in a radio interview with Sports Illustrated’s Dan Patrick. It was unclear as to whether Bradshaw was talking about anabolic steroids or corticosteroids.
We did steroids to get away the aches and the speed of healing. My use of steroids from a doctor was to speed up injury, and thought nothing of it… It was to speed up the healing process and that was it. It wasn’t to get bigger and stronger and faster.
Bradshaw dismisses the anabolic effects of the steroids that he received via injection from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ team physician. As an NFL broadcaster, Bradshaw would presumably be very familiar with the controversy surrounding anabolic steroids; it seems that he would be careful to confirm whether or not he was referring to anabolic steroids and NOT corticosteroids.
It seems likely that Terry Bradshaw did use anabolic steroids since the widespread use of anabolic steroids among his Pittsburgh Steeler teammates has been well documented by Bradshaw’s late teammate Steve Courson. … Read the rest of this entry »
Lisa Kennedy, the Denver Post film critic, recently reviewed the movie “Bigger Stronger Faster*.” And while she gave it a favorable review, she left the film believing that anabolic steroids and anabolic steroids alone were responsible for the size of Gregg Valentino’s arms (”Men of steel, and of steroids,” June 12).
Thanks to anabolic steroid use, Valentino’s arms look like they’ve been invaded by tumors. This isn’t muscle definition but something sci-fi, something Hulk-ian — as in the Incredible but also as in Hulk Hogan.
Many people in the sport of competitive bodybuilding are aware of substances like “synthol”, site enhancement oils, and even silicone that are injected into particular bodyparts (usually biceps and triceps) to dramatically increase the non-functional size of the bodypart. … Read the rest of this entry »
Police investigators arrested 76-year old John Gaebel Livingstone on suspicion of possessing anabolic steroids and possessing drugs for sale and transportation. Police believe Livingstone sold steroids to bodybuilders at local gyms and training studios in Orange County California. Investigators discovered 5,000 steroids units along with some syringes and needles and steroid books after executing a search warrant (”76-year-old suspected of pushing steroids at local gyms,” June 11).
What led police to John Gaebel Livingstone’s doorstep is not being publicly disclosed, but investigators had enough information to obtain a search warrant for the drugs inside Livingstone’s home. About 8 a.m., officers with a warrant went to the home in the 5300 block of Vista Hermosa and discovered the steroids along with hypodermic syringes, steroid literature and detailed business receipts, said Sgt. Tom Bruce of the Cypress Police Department.
The discovery of “business receipts” suggests that the police also confiscated information related to his transactions with suppliers and/or his customers. … Read the rest of this entry »
The movie is a masterfully crafted examination of steroids in society and sports. It exposes the anti-intellectual grounds of the steroid demonization movement in the United States and re-examines the real dangers of steroids. But it does so without advocating a particular point of view - either pro-steroid or anti-steroid. Instead, it is a pro-truth steroid movie.
The potential of “Bigger Stronger Faster” to become a mainstream hit could have significant positive consequences for the public perception of anabolic steroids in society. Consequently, I’m obviously rooting for film to do well!
So, how did “Bigger Stronger Faster” do in its opening two weekends at the box office in a limited nationwide release?
My name is Millard Baker and I have published content involving anabolic steroids online for over a decade. Brian Clapp, the owner of Steroid.com, invited me to author the official blog on his popular steroid website.
Brian gave me a huge compliment by telling me that my website MESO-Rx inspired him to create Anabolic Review (subsequently renamed Steroid.com). So, it is an honor to write and contribute to steroid knowledge on Steroid.com and interact with members of “the world’s most visited anabolic site.”
I have become a big fan of the weblog format. I invite all Steroid.com members to start a conversation on the Steroid.com Blog by commenting on my blog articles. I am excited by this opportunity and look forward many thought-provoking conversations.
