LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Well…at this point, you’re probably wondering what’s going on, because Steroid.com has never sent you a newsletter before. Well that’s because we’ve never really had a reason to do it before…we’ve never sent out a newsletter before, just to sell you something or promote a product, and we’re not going to start now.

Since I’ve taken the job here as senior editor, we’ve made it a point to bring you new articles concerning anabolic steroids in the media, entertainment, sports, or in medicine – 5x a week. That’s what my daily “Injected” column is all about. If you haven’t seen it yet, take a look.

And unless you haven’t been here in months, I’m sure you already know about the Anabolic Network, which is a weekly (sometimes daily) web-based television show that I’ll be hosting. We’ve purchased studio space, had a studio built for us, and got all of the equipment needed to get us on the air…and we’re slated to begin shooting sometime early next month.

But even that wasn’t enough for me or Steroid.com…because although writing about steroids in pop culture is fun - and gives me something to rant about on a daily basis, and hosting my own television show is going to be exciting…I also wanted to do something more…and that’s where this newsletter comes in. It’s going to feature original articles from me on steroids, as well as stuff on training, nutrition, and anything else you can think of – from some of my friends.

Yes, I have friends…thank you for asking.

I’ve been in the fitness industry for a relatively short time now, but I’ve made some very good friends – people who are at the top of their game, and who have agreed to write for steroid.com (and no other steroid-related sites)! So you’ll be seeing what I consider to be an all-star line-up of authors in this newsletter.

We’ll also be featuring different members, the most popular threads, the most heated topics of the month, and anything else that the message board has to offer.

Enjoy your first issue, and get ready for the next one!

After downloading and reviewing all 400+ pages of Major League Baseball's Michell Report, Anthony offers up numerous opinions about the report, those players named in the report as well as a look at previous drug use in the majors. (MORE)

Although we (I) like to blame the mainstream media for many of the misconceptions that exist about anabolic steroids, the truth is that it’s not just the news organizations. I’m talking about the movies over the past few decades, which have depicted steroid use. (MORE)

The dust is starting to settle on the largest steroid bust in United States history and now some very obvious trends are emerging. I can’t comment on all of them, but I can comment on one of them that I find most disturbing. That trend naturally has to do with the internet – which is both the primary source for steroid information as well as the primary source for steroid purchases. (MORE)

HCG – The Best of Both Balls
By Anthony Roberts, Senior Editor

When I first had published my thoughts on Post –Cycle Therapy, I recommended using HCG. Other than those thoughts, and reasoning behind it, I really didn’t give much thought to HCG. Frankly, many people (Dan Duchaine, etc…) had recommended it for PCT before me – and many went on to recommend it for PCT after me (Dr. Michael Scally, for one ).

Clearly Duchaine made his recommendations before me (he was dead before I was even published) and I guess I need to note that although Dr. Scally had his thoughts on PCT published after me, clearly he had been using HCG with his patients much prior to this. (MORE)
