I don’t think I’ll ever understand how the need to win to some people justifies cheating. We’ve seen it with skiers, bikers, runners, any type of sports – they fill their bodies with all sorts of performance-enhancing substances (including blood).
Is it the money? The glory? I don’t know. One thing is that it’s illegal. It also ruins the credibility of sports altogether, it casts a shadow of suspicion on all athletes – and it’s dangerous.
As for legal steroids for body builders – well, in this country there’s no such thing. I think I’d stay clear of them, regardless. I would have thought the risk of shrinking your testicles down to pea size would be enough of a deterrant, but it clearly isn’t.
Goes to show that the strongest instinct in humans isn’t the sex drive, but the desire to be stronger, better, bigger (and/or have a newer car) than your neighbour.
This is not beautiful, it’s very unlikely to be what God meant by “your body is a temple”, and there’s no way it’s been achieved by natural means. (It’s also very likely to have a padded G-string).
Stumble it!
