However Mark McGwire knows that he doesn’t have any chance to be introduced into the Hall of Fame, he is not disappointed. He continues to like baseball.
St. Louis Cardinals were coached by this person two seasons. Then this person intended to stop coaching this team because he wants to spend more time with his family. Fortunately, Mark McGwire will not leave professional baseball in order to have more time for his family. The Los Angeles Dodgers asked him to coach them. He agreed. Coaching this team will not disturb this person to spend sufficient time with his wife and children because he needs only an hour in order to drive from his home to the Dodgers Stadium.

Undercover police officer arranges steroid deal with GNC’s clerk

Sports nutrition stores sell not just true dietary supplements. They label steroidal compounds as nutrition supplements and offer them for sale. But authorities put efforts to control and avoid distribution of steroids as if they were just supplements. That’s why clerks of sports nutrition stores sell steroids illegally. Those that come to such stores are often informed that they may purchase steroids as well.
 But these conditions are known not only by consumers of steroids but also by police. So, law enforcements conduct undercover investigations in order to bust sports nutrition stores that offer steroids for sale. Clerks should comprehend that if a customer intends to purchase steroids, arranging a deal outside the store, he must be an undercover officer. That’s why those that are implicated in illegal actions connected with sale of steroids should be quite cautious to avoid legal troubles. Although they know about these aspects, they make common mistakes that lead to arrests, charges and imprisonment.
Let present a story about a clerk of the General Nutrition Centers (GNC) store located in East Walpole (Massachusetts). George Touma sold anabolic steroids along with nutrition supplements. When police officers were informed about illegal actions of this person, they began to conduct an investigation. The investigation lasted about a month and was led by The Walpole Police Department.
An undercover police officer came to the shop often and bought nutrition supplements. He was talking to the clerk very frequently. Thus, a friendly relation was established. Finally they discussed about anabolic steroids. The undercover police officer said that he would like to get steroids. Thus, he agreed to purchase 2 vials of steroids from George Touma. The agent had to give $300 for the preparations. The deal was arranged outside the store. After the purchase had taken place police officers detained the clerk.
As a result, George Touma was charged with illicit possession and distribution of anabolic steroids.

Anti-doping programs are not efficacious

Great changes occurred in some types of sports after the USADA publicized its report on Lance Armstrong. The legendary American cyclist was administering anabolic steroids and other doping products throughout the whole cycling career but he never tested positive for any banned medication. He utilized several effective methods to avoid detection. Nonetheless, finally he was found guilty of doping.
Lance Armstrong’s doping case has manifested that anti-doping programs failed. So, they must be altered. Otherwise, competitions will be unfair. We’ll never distinguish real sports heroes.
These factors influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Several sports organizations stated that anti-doping policies should be modified in order to catch those that apply anabolic steroids and/or other related drugs.
Not only anti-doping officers but also athletes claim that anti-doping programs should be changed. Some sportspersons want to assure that their sport is clean. For example, several tennis players affirm that more drug testing should be conducted in tennis. It is important to notice that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, think that anti-doping program is not quite efficient in tennis. They argue that more drug testing is required in order to be sure that tennis is free of doping.
Novak Djokovic affirmed that he would submit to more drug testing in order to promote cleaning tennis of dopers.
The Swiss tennis player Roger Federer also confirmed that more tests for banned medicines should be conducted in tennis. He noticed that earlier he was subjected to more tests. Then the number of tests became lower in tennis.
When it comes to the Scottish tennis player Andy Muray, he said that more out-of-competition testing should take place. While tennis players are always tested during competitions, they are not tested frequently while being not in competitions.

Did all Lance Armstrong’s teammates use banned substances?

The USADA has publicized a dossier on the American cyclist Lance Armstrong.
Which impression do readers get, when they study this dossier? It is claimed that a lot of individuals believe that every teammate of this prominent cyclist has administered anabolic steroids and/or other prohibited drugs. But is it true opinion? Has every Lance Armstrong’s teammate doped?
According to the dossier on this athlete, 11 teammates testified against him, affirming that he took performance-enhancing drugs. Moreover, it was confirmed that Lance Armstrong and the most mates of his team applied sophisticated ways in order to be capable to dope and remain undetectable.
Although certain Lance Armstrong’s teammates admitted to applying steroids and/or other related medications, some teammates denied doping. For example, Julian Dean and Patrick Jonker were two teammates of the famous cyclist that denied using performance-enhancing drugs.
Julian Dean confirmed that he neither doped, nor saw Lance Armstrong administering steroids and/or other related preparations.
As for Patrick Jonker, his affirmations were like those of Julian Dean. He claimed that he had never taken any banned medications. He claimed that he competed cleanly and didn’t take any unfair advantage.
According to Patrick Jonker, application of steroids and other related preparations is a serious problem in cycling. He believes that numerous cyclists dope. He considers that it is important to fight against usage of steroids and other related preparations in cycling. But he claims that proper methods should be utilized by anti-doping officers. This athlete is full of anger, saying about prosecution against Lance Armstrong.  Patrick Jonker believes that murderers are less prosecuted than Lance Armstrong.

Usage of steroids in tennis

The Scottish tennis player Andy Murray claims that tennis is not tainted by usage of anabolic steroids and other related drugs. He thinks that application of performance-enhancing drugs doesn’t represent any problem in this sport. He confirms that tennis is relatively clean. If you compare this sport to others, you can be convinced that it is free from doping, according to Andy Murray. But the tennis player realizes that this sport is not wholly clean. This person admits that certain tennis players apply prohibited products too.
If you take cycling as an example, you may see that it is associated with allegations regarding doping by the well-known cyclist Lance Armstrong. Cycling commentators and journalists try to prove that doping reigns in other sports too. So, they put efforts to direct attentions of people from cycling to others sports. They claim that usage of steroids and other related products is a problem not only in cycling. Tennis turned out to be criticized by them quite often.
Andy Murray made the decision to respond to such critic words. He notes that steroids and other related medicines don’t have any essential role in tennis. He mentions about differences between tennis and cycling.
According to the tennis player, while steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs benefit in cycling evidentially, these remedies can’t produce any significant changes in tennis players. This athlete believes that while power that is needed in cycling can be maximized by doping, the skills that are needed in tennis can’t be perfected by steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
Actually, similar arguments are utilized in other sports too. Baseball and basketball players also affirm that steroids don’t represent any evident problem in their sports because these medications don’t have capacity to increase performance in their sports.
But it is impossible to contest effects of steroids on performance of any sportsperson. Since these medications can increase strength, speed and endurance, they play great role in tennis and other sports.

Belarusian president doesn’t want to talk about doping; he will eradicate it

Alexander Lukashenko, the Belarusian president, is also the president of the National Olympic Committee. He was very saddened after the Belarusian shot-putter Nadzeya Ostapchuk tested positive for a forbidden product. The president was very upset. Alexander Lukashenko turned out to be a serious fan of sports. He felt angry that representatives of his country destroyed Belarusian’s sports reputation by positives for prohibited preparations. As a result, he stated that some changes would be added to laws.
The president of Belarus noted that it was needed to criminalize intake of prohibited substances in sports. So, sports will be probably clean. This affirmation was pronounced by Alexander Lukashenko after Nadzeya Ostapchuk was caught taking methenolone. This preparation is better known as Primobolan.
The president of Belarusia wants to see that his country succeeds in sports on the international scene. If Alexander Lukashenko desires to clean his country’s sports, he will be able to do it. Several facts display that this person has reached numerous goals connected with his country.
In fact, Alexander Lukashenko is a hard president. He was even accused of human rights abuses. He is capable to change the situation in sports by force as well.
The president of Belorussia doesn’t plan to discuss about application of prohibited products in sports. There are other aspects that should be discussed, according to the president of Belorussia.
Anatoliy Tozik, the Vice-President for Alexander Lukashenko, said that they could establish a sports scientific center that would be sponsored by the state. The center would conduct scientific researches linked with mental and pharmacological support for top athletes. The president agreed to establish this center.
It is unknown whether Alexander Lukashenko will clean sports at any cost. Will he utilize his force for this purpose?

Doping in tennis

David Howman expresses his thoughts about anti-doping policies in certain sports organizations. While the director general of the WADA seems to be happy with jobs of several sports organizations, he notes that anti-doping programs in other leagues/teams are not proper.
For example, David Howman praises the International Tennis Federation (ITF) for its anti-doping system. David Howman says that anti-doping system is appropriate in tennis.
But as for the National Basketball Association (NBA), it doesn’t agree to adopt its anti-doping system to that of the WADA. It refuses to add certain new drug tests in order to catch those who take steroids and/or other prohibited preparations. That’s why the director general of the WADA notes that the anti-doping system of the NBA is not good enough to catch those who dope. He confirms that the NBA should add more sophisticated new methods as well.
The director general of the WADA claims that drug tests conducted in tennis are of high quality. But there is a defect in tennis’ anti-doping program. A lot of tests are conducted during competitions. But few tests take place out-of-competition. That’s why ITF’s anti-doping system is also criticized.
Of course, no one can confirm that anti-doping program of ITF is perfect. It has some lacks too. But it is quite adequate.
Thus, you should not believe that tennis is clean from doping wholly. Certain tennis players are likely to administer steroids and/or related medicines. But it is not so tainted, as certain other sports.
 Only one tennis player was banned for intake of forbidden drugs. Although it seems to prove that tennis is clean, it is important to consider that there are certain methods to avoid positives. As you probably know, the American cyclist Lance Armstrong took steroids and other related products and avoided detection much time. Couldn’t tennis players act the same way?

Lance Armstrong’s athletic reputation influences on his foundation negatively

The USADA published a report related to doping by the famous American cyclist Lance Armstrong. According to the dossier, this sportsperson administered steroids and other related products. After publishing several sponsors that donated for Lance Armstrong’s charity organization Livestrong decided to cut their relations with this cyclist and his charity organization.
One of companies that decided to discontinue sponsoring the foundation which fights against cancer is Nike. This company was working much time with the cyclist. Ultimately Nike confirmed that it would not have anything longer with the sportsperson who was cheating more than 10 years.
24 Hour Fitness also refused to work with Lance Armstrong anymore.
Certain other companies also made the decision to stop sponsoring Livestrong.
However, the cyclist tried to do anything in order to prevent negative influence of his athletic reputation on the organization which helps persons with cancer to survive. He announced that he would not be the chairman of the organization anymore. However the sportsman tried to keep sponsors, he couldn’t do it.
As for the USADA, it confirmed that Lance Armstrong was found guilty of doping. As a result, the sportsperson received lifetime suspension. Furthermore, he lost all 7 titles obtained at Tour de France.
But the International Cycling Union (ICU) claimed that the USADA made a wrong decision. However Lance Armstrong discontinued fighting against accusations pronounced by the USADA, the ICU claimed that it would appeal the decision even without involvement of the athlete.
However Lance Armstrong never tested positive for any prohibited preparation, it was concluded that he was guilty of doping. It was confirmed that he applied steroids and other prohibited drugs but he used certain simple as well sophisticated ways in order to avoid positives. So, Lance Armstrong was capable to dope and remain undetectable.
Now the athlete pays for his doping. The decision of certain companies to discontinue sponsoring his foundation is a great loss for this person.

David Howman: anti-doping program of NBA is not effective

The WADA’s director general David Howman states that the National Basketball Association (NBA) anti-doping policy is not sophisticated enough to detect those who administer banned medicines. He affirms that drug testing conducted in the NBA is not suitable. While the NFL and the MLB agreed to accept additional tests, the NBA refused to do the same things.
The basketball player Derrick Rose also noticed that many NBA players took steroids and other related preparations. This sport is tainted, according to the former basketball player. It is believed that David Howman’s opinion linked with  application of steroids in the NBA is resulted from words pronounced by Derrick Rose.
The NBA doesn’t want to adopt its anti-doping policy to that of the WADA. The NBA officers state that steroids and other related products don’t have ability to influence on games and make them unfair. They claim that only natural skills and trainings play role in the NBA. According to NBA officers, steroids and other doping products are not able to enhance performance of basketball players. They note that doping products don’t benefit this sport.
Do NBA officers have a right opinion? Aren’t steroids and other related products capable to increase performance of those that play basketball? What does the reality demonstrate? What does scientific literature notice about effects of steroids and other related drugs?
In fact, everyone knows that steroids and several other products benefit in any sport. They just should be used properly and accompanied by suitable diets and workouts. These products play significant role in sports. It is impossible to contest effectiveness of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in basketball. Affirmations of NBA officers are wrong.
Of course, any league wants to think that their sport is not tainted. Nevertheless, it is necessary to see the reality. That’s why David Howman confirms that it is important to conduct more and more sophisticated steroid testing in order to catch those that use banned medicines.

Philadelphia police officer will go to prison for illegal sale of steroids

Illicit sale of anabolic steroids is widespread. Although law enforcement officers put efforts to prevent illegal production, sale, possession and intake of steroids, some police officers are also involved in such illegal deals. Moreover, as it is determined, several police officers mastermind illegal operations linked with anabolic steroids and other related drugs.
The former Philadelphia policeman Keith Gidelson was found guilty of illicit sale of anabolic steroids and some other drugs, such as HGH, IGF-1, anti-estrogen medications, etc. The preparations that were sold by this person were labeled as Sciroxx preparations.
Keith Gidelson turned out to be the leader of a drug ring. So, he was not distributing steroids alone. He was working together with several other persons, including his wife and two other police officers.
Those who desired to get steroids contacted Keith Gidelson via internet. So, clients ordered needed anabolic steroids or/and other performance-enhancing drugs. Then these products were shipped to the customers.
When shipments arrived, the Philadelphia police officer informed his customers per handy. He called them or wrote messages. That’s why it was easy to bust this illegal drug ring. The police officer talked to his clients about steroids and other doping products quite openly. When it comes to his co-workers, they discussed about steroids among them, utilizing several terms.
Such steroids, as Testosterone Enanthate, Trenbolone Enanthate, Nandrolone Decanoate, etc. were distributed by the Philadelphia police officer and his co-workers. These medicines were obtained from China and Europe. Then they were sold to those who ordered them via internet.  
Keith Gidelson will be sentenced in January 2013.

How can policemen catch those that have steroids?

Several bodybuilders are caught possessing anabolic steroids and other illegal products because they make some mistakes while possessing these medications. For example, a bodybuilder plans to use doping products. He finds a safe online drug store and orders certain drugs. Then he pays for these medications. The products are sent. The bodybuilder arrives to a post office and takes the package which contains the drugs which have been ordered by him. Everything seems to be successful. The package has not been intercepted. The medications have not been seized. This person takes the drugs and drives home.
Undoubtedly, this man can’t wait until he arrives home to begin his cycle with these preparations. He wants to be at home, apply the products and look in the mirror and see desired effects. Thinking about possible benefits and improvement of appearance, this man begins to violate traffic rules. He exceeds speed because he desires to arrive at home sooner. Moreover, this man has another problem. He has a suspended driver’s license. Since policemen see that he has violated any traffic rule, they stop him. The police officers learn that this person has a suspended driver’s license. They decide to search the vehicle. Thus, the policemen find that this man possesses steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. This person gets legal problems. His dreams don’t become real. He gets problems instead of desired results.
 Let take Michael Vazquez of Kenmore (New York) as an example. He had a suspended driver’s license while violating traffic rules and possessing steroids. Thus, he got legitimate troubles. Since he violated some traffic rules, he was stopped by policemen that saw that he had a suspended driver’s license. When they searched his car, they found that he possessed steroids, needles and syringes.
Thus, if you possess steroids and/or other related drugs while driving your car, don’t make such mistakes! Don’t violate traffic laws! Don’t drive with a suspended driver’s license! Thus, you can avoid legitimate troubles.

Indian athletes buy steroids at local pharmacies and supplement stores

Sale and administration of steroids without a physician’s prescription are considered to be illegal in India. But illegal distribution and intake of steroids and other related medications prosper in this state. A lot of sportspersons get these medicines at drug stores and supplement stores and use them for enhancement of muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s athletes tested positive for prohibited products at the 2012 Summer Olympics, attention of authorities was drawn to drug stores and supplement stores. Local police officers decided to raid drug stores and supplement stores regularly in order to control illicit sale of anabolic steroids and other related drugs. After several raids several drug stores and supplement stores had been shut down.
Lately law enforcement officers searched a drug store and two supplement stores located in the southern part of India.
The Parola Pharmacy located in Valancherry was raided by police officers. As it was determined, steroids and other related products were sold at this pharmacy illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were identified by police officers. Several other steroids were sold illegally too. So, this pharmacy was shut down.
The Health World supplement store located in Kottakkal was also lately raided. Law enforcement officers saw that Methandienone, Equipose, Testosterone Undecanoate and some other steroids were offered for sale at this supplement store. Thus, it was shut down as well.
Another supplement store which was searched was the AM Nutrition store. But it was not pursued because no any steroids were found at the store.
Law enforcement officers plan to continue raids. Some drug stores and supplement stores may lose their licenses for illicit sale of steroids and other related preparations.

High school athletes think that Tommy John surgery enhances performance

High school athletes are ready to do a lot in order to increase their muscles and improve performance. While several sportspersons try to enhance speed, baseball players try to enhance throwing speed.
What do high school athletes actually do for this goal? As you know, many sportspersons administer anabolic steroids in order to gain muscles and enhance performance. But intake of steroids and other related medicines is not the only method which seems to be efficacious for certain athletic goals. Some high school athletes want to have the operation ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction that is also called Tommy John surgery.
Actually, high school athletes don’t know about certain aspects connected with Tommy John surgery. They base their points of view on the case connected with the baseball player Tommy John that got UCL damage during a baseball game. After the damage he was too discouraged. He thought that didn’t have any chance longer to play professional baseball. This man visited the surgeon Frank Jobe. The doctor operated this man successfully. After the operation the baseball player returned to baseball. Tommy John’s further career was quite successful. He won numerous games. Thus, this operation was called after this person: Tommy John surgery.
When high school athletes learn about Tommy John, they desire to become as good players, as he was. They believe that the surgery promoted winning because the baseball player won more games after the surgery than before. Although high school athletes may suppose properly, they have some misconceptions about this operation. They believe that they may be operated in absence of any damage and increase their performance. But high school athletes don’t consider that no one can come back to playing baseball soon after such operation. Certain period of time is required to receive recovery. Furthermore, it is important to take into account that some risks linked with Tommy John surgery. They may suffer from permanently stiff elbow. Certain other dangers are also associated with this operation.
So, high school athletes don’t understand the essence of this surgery correctly. When they have elbow pains, they let their physicians know about this problem, trying to convince them they need to be subjected to Tommy John surgery.

Do steroids cause permanent infertility in male users?

Maria Shriver didn’t become pregnant during the first three years of her marriage to the well-known American bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger. Her mother was in trouble. Since the bodybuilder applied steroids, she feared that these drugs could cause infertility in him. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mother-in-law presented a scientific report about steroids to her daughter. The report enumerated possible adverse results of steroids, including infertility.
Arnold Schwarzenegger affirmed that he saw this report on the desk of his wife causally. Thus, he studied it. The bodybuilder laughed a lot. He affirmed that his mother-in-law was out of control.
But the bodybuilder’s mother-in-law troubled without any reason. Her daughter and Arnold Schwarzenegger became parents of four kids. Moreover, Arnold Schwarzenegger got a child as a result of his extra-marital relations. Thus, it was evident that steroids didn’t have any negative impact on reproductive system of this person.
Do steroids cause infertility in male consumers? These preparations suppress natural secretion of the hormone testosterone. That’s why men who use these preparations may have infertility. But it is important to understand that this unwanted result is not irreversible. When males stop taking steroids, their natural production of testosterone is restored. Thus, this negative result disappears.  
The autobiography published by Arnold Schwarzenegger describes certain interesting aspects connected with steroids. This bodybuilder applied steroids during his competitive career. Anabolic steroids promoted winning. Application of these medicines was not forbidden in professional bodybuilding, when Arnold Schwarzenegger competed.

World Health Organization helps anti-doping agencies to fight against steroid abuse

Timothy Armstrong of the World Health Organization confirms that anabolic steroids are dangerous for public health. While these preparations are frequently used by sportspeople, bodybuilders and ordinary individuals for enhancement of muscle mass and energy, they may have negative influence on physical and psychological health of users. Unluckily, dangers related to these products are not treated seriously. However a lot of experts warn that these medicines may cause serious unwanted results, numerous persons continue to administer them for athletic purposes.
Timothy Armstrong puts efforts to protect public health. He has presented a speech about intake of steroids at a conference organized by the chairman of the International Olympic Committee Arne Ljungqvist. Thus, Timothy Armstrong helps to eliminate illegal intake of steroids.
When it comes to Arne Ljungqvist, he tries to fight against usage of steroids in sports. According to the chairman of the International Olympic Committee, application of steroids represents a moral problem. Those who administer doping products don’t compete fairly. They have unfair advantage over those who don’t administer these medications. So, they act inappropriately.
Of course, Arne Ljungqvist is happy that Timothy Armstrong is also against application of steroids. He affirms that anti-doping agencies should work with the World Health Organization more closely. The united efforts will be capable to eliminate application of doping products from professional sports.
Timothy Armstrong confirms that anti-doping agencies should have direct relations with law enforcements and customs officers. If they collaborate, their war on illegal deals related to steroids and other controlled substances will be more successful. They should inform each other about persons that have something to do with illegal drugs. Thus, they will be able to reach their goals.

Drunk US marine murdered 18-month old child

Audrey Allen, an 18-month old girl, was murdered by Joshua Allen Kruzik.
The little girl was killed because she cried in the middle of the night. Joshua Allen Kruzik, an US marine, a friend of Audrey Allen’s parents, decided to spend weekends at their friends’ home. Before he came to their place, he was at a local bar where he drank much alcohol. He had to care about the little child, when she cried. But Joshua Allen Kruzik beat her too cruelly. As a result, the little girl got numerous severe head injuries. The little girl died at a local hospital.
David Kohn, the defense attorney for the murderer, confirmed that steroids were responsible for the abnormal behavior of his client. It was stated that the killer took anabolic steroids. Before the incident he attempted to discontinue administering these preparations but he was not capable to do it. The defense attorney said that anabolic steroids caused “roid rage” in Joshua Allen Kruzik. He couldn’t not control his behavior and beat the little child. According to the defense attorney, his client was unconscious. However he claimed that his client was ready to assume the entire responsibility, he added that he was not guilty.
The victim’s parents also said that the murderer administered anabolic steroids. The mother of the baby affirmed that she had syringes at her home. So, she injected Kruzik with steroids, when he came. Certain other individuals also confirmed that he administered steroids.
It is strange that anabolic steroids are demonized in this case. Are these products responsible for the murder? Consider that Kruzen has been drunk, when he has killed the baby!
It is unclear whether the juries will accept the steroid excuse.

Steroids can’t enhance muscles without usual physiological processes

Although natural bodybuilders put efforts to demonstrate that they can be as muscular as steroid users, they fail to do it. Even those who have appropriate diets and intensive trainings can’t gain the same muscle mass and endurance like consumers of steroids. Gains which can be acquired because of correct usage of steroids and other related drugs are much more significant than those that are acquired through natural methods.
But you should know that steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs can’t increase muscle mass and strength, if consumers don’t have intensive workouts and suitable nutrition. However steroids have capacity to induce getting muscles and endurance, it is not sufficient only to administer these preparations. Consumers of steroids must not be lazy persons. Otherwise, they will fail to acquire needed results. If steroid users don’t train hardly during application of doping products, they may get additional problems instead of benefits.
Those that are going to apply steroids in order to get muscles and increase strength should plan their workouts and nutrition. It is important to train hardly. Nevertheless, it is necessary to take in consideration that muscles don’t grow, if they don’t have any rest. That’s why it is important to have well-planned workouts. Workouts and time of rest should be rotated properly.
Furthermore, it is required to plan which kinds of exercises should be performed. Your heart should work appropriately, if you desire to enhance your muscles with steroids. That’s why cardio exercises should take place 3-4 hours per week.
Another factor which should be taken into account is nutrition. Muscles can be enhanced, if sufficient protein is consumed. Steroids and other related drugs can’t increase muscles and add strength without usual physiological processes. Keep in mind that steroids don’t work magically! They work through stimulation of natural processes which occur in the body.
If you want to enhance your muscle mass and strength with steroids, you should study and follow several guidelines related to diets which are useful for achievement of these results.

Steroid use didn’t represent any problem in bodybuilding, when Arnold Schwarzenegger competed

Arnold Schwarzenegger administered anabolic steroids. These drugs helped him to have success. The prominent bodybuilder acknowledged that he succeeded because of these medications obviously. But he also noted that other competitive bodybuilders administered these medications too. He was aware of the fact that all top athletes and bodybuilders administered anabolic steroids. If Arnold Schwarzenegger had not taken performance-enhancing drugs, other bodybuilders would have had unfair advantage over him.
Although the prominent bodybuilder admitted to usage of steroids, he never apologized. Application of these preparations was not forbidden, when Arnold Schwarzenegger competed. Intake of steroids and other related products didn’t represent any problem in bodybuilding during that time.
Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed that he didn’t know about risks linked with usage of these preparations. But he also added that earlier bodybuilders didn’t apply enhanced doses like current bodybuilders.  That’s why it was not dangerous to administer these drugs.
Nowadays it is necessary to take in consideration that sportspersons and bodybuilders use very increased dosages that may have negative impact on health. Intake of increased doses normally results in serious permanent adverse reactions. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger is against application of steroids for performance-enhancing effects. Dosages that were administered by the famous bodybuilder were lower by 20 times than those applied by current bodybuilders. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger worked together with International Federation of Bodybuilders against application of doping products in competitive bodybuilding.

Illicit usage of HGG is dangerous

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) has been initially developed for medical purposes. This medication is recommended to cure kids with growth disorders and grown-ups that suffer from deficiency of growth hormone and associated troubles. But this product is frequently abused. Numerous weightlifters and other sportspersons apply this medicine for athletic needs. Under laws of several countries, including the USA, purchase and administration of this medication for non-clinical needs are claimed to be illegal.
Although this drug is illicit without any prescription, it is not difficult to obtain it. This drug is widely available at online pharmacies. Moreover, street dealers sell this product. Since it doesn’t cost much, a lot of sportspersons have possibility to purchase it.
Those that administer HGH illegally abuse also other medicines. They are not limited just by illicit application of this medication. Which medicines are also administered by consumers of HGH?
Certain scientists decided to conduct a study connected with illegal usage of HGH. They enrolled 230 weightlifters aged 18-40 into the study. The scientists could define that the most of these weightlifters applied not only HGH but also anabolic-androgenic steroids and insulin-like growth factor-1. Furthermore, many of them applied recreational drugs, such as cocaine, ecstasy, etc.
Which dangers are faced by those that take enhanced quantities of HGH long period of time? Unluckily, negative results caused by high measures of this product are not studied sufficiently because health care providers usually don’t recommend enhanced quantities.  Enhanced doses are commonly applied by those that administer this product for performance-enhancing effects. But it is known that administration of enhanced measures during prolonged period of time may lead to dangerous negative results. This drug may negatively influence on different systems, including endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular, etc. It is necessary to be very cautious because enhanced measures of this preparation are associated even with cancer.

Dexamethasone and bleeding events after adenotonsillectomies

More and more kids are subjected to tonsillectomies. The number of surgeries in children younger than 15 years old has enhanced essentially.
After tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy children may experience vomiting and nausea. Thus, doctors indicate using corticosteroids during surgeries in order to reduce these post-operation adverse reactions.
Unfortunately, while corticosteroids reduce risks/severity connected with nausea and vomiting, they are associated with certain other problems. They may cause bleeding during and after tonsillectomies. Several researches have manifested that the number of complications after tonsillectomies has enhanced during some last years. Since number of tonsillectomies becomes more enhanced, complications occur more often as well.
Several specialists decided to determine whether bleeding occurs after tonsillectomies on account of corticosteroids. They tried to learn whether there is any substantial difference in occurring of bleeding between kids who administer the corticosteroid dexamethasone during tonsillectomies and those who don’t receive this product. So, the scientists enrolled more than 300 children in the research.
Results of the study have demonstrated that bleeding of the levels I and II are increased by 5% in those who use a single measure of dexamethasone during tonsillectomy.
So, corticosteroids don’t enhance the risk linked with post-operation bleeding essentially. Although doctors doubt about safety of corticosteroids administered during tonsillectomies, they don’t increase serious bleeding events significantly.
