Taking PEDs doesn't always make you a better athlete than someone who doesn't use them. Simply put, it takes MUCH more than an injection to become a great athlete regardless of what you hear from the media. There's also a misconception that taking steroids automatically means a shortened lifespan or more complications down the road as if we're all promised to not get some sort of complication even if we don't take steroids. Lots of times these side effects experienced from the use of steroids are due to the misuse of steroids or lack of knowledge of the use of steroids. That's not just to say that people like you and I use them and don't know but the medical community still doesn't even know fully which is why we need more research and use and not less. Look what professional sports has done for other ailments, injuries and illnesses that otherwise would have taken decades or centuries using normal channels available.

Do you think that someone who is morbidly obese that already has a grim outlook on living a healthy long-term life wouldn't live longer or better with the use of steroids and more knowledge under a doctor's supervision?
