Do anti-doping agencies have any right to violate constitutional rights of athletes?

Lawmakers of California claim that anti-doping agencies violate fundamental constitutional rights of sportspersons suspected of doping. Thus, athletes that have never tested positive for any prohibited medicines are targeted. That’s why the lawmakers initiated a request to Congress to review this issue.
It is known that the USADA is sponsored chiefly by taxpayers. The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) gives 10 million dollars every year. This governmental office promotes fighting against administration of banned substances. Its goal is to exterminate illegal manufacture and drug use, crimes resulted from administration of illicit substances, etc.
The request of California legislators was initiated soon after Lance Armstrong decided not to appeal his lifetime suspension from professional sports.
Everybody knows that the former cyclist Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his 7 titles won at Tour de France. He was also banned from competitions entirely.
Summer Lance Armstrong filed a lawsuit against the USADA, affirming that his constitutional rights were violated. But the judge Sam Sparks refused to accept the lawsuit. He claimed that the USADA acted correctly. He also said that the USADA was established in order to clean sports from sportspeople who apply prohibited medications.
California Senator Michael Rubio affirmed that Sam Sparks didn’t act appropriately, refusing to accept the lawsuit against the USADA. So, the senators affirmed that the USADA violated rights of some athletes. That’s why they presented the request before Congress.

Barry Bonds sees that cycling has the same problems like baseball

Barry Bonds knows what a sportsperson experiences, if he/she is prosecuted by feds and anti-doping officials. He realizes what this individual feels. That’s why the former professional baseball player can sympathize and support athletes accused of doping. Thus, Barry Bonds supports the former cyclist Lance Armstrong.
During an interview a reporter asked Barry Bonds about problems of Lance Armstrong linked with doping suspicions. The former baseball player showed his admiration towards the cyclist. He claimed that Lance Armstrong was the most brilliant cyclist that has ever been in the sport of cycling.
Undoubtedly, Barry Bonds realizes what he says. He knows what it means to be a good cyclist. After he retired from baseball, he became a cyclist. He participated in some competitions successfully. Being a cyclist, he sees that this sport has the same issues like baseball. He comprehends that cyclists are targeted by federal prosecutors and anti-doping agencies like professional baseball players.
Both Lance Armstrong and Barry Bonds were accused of doping. They were investigated by feds and anti-doping officials.
Feds accused Barry Bonds of lying about intake of forbidden preparations and obstruction of justice. They couldn’t prove that the athlete lied about application of prohibited preparations. But they found him guilty of obstructing justice. The former baseball player decided to appeal the decision of the court.
When it comes to Lance Armstrong, the government dropped the case against him. But the USADA continued to pursue the cyclist. The USADA claimed that Lance Armstrong had been applying banned substances throughout his cycling career. The cyclist decided to stop fighting against accusations of the anti-doping agency. He forfeited his Tour de France titles and money he had received at these events.
However Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his titles, Americans continue to respect him. They claim that he is the greatest cyclist of all times. Lance Armstrong’s sponsors haven’t refused to support his cancer charity. The former cyclist helps people to combat cancer. Thus, numerous individuals are thankful. They will always remember what Lance Armstrong has done for them.
Barry Bonds’ reputation has been spoiled by accusations related to administration of forbidden medications. The former baseball player hopes that his achievements during the baseball career are more significant than the accusations. He believes that people will forget about the suspicions and he will be considered to be a baseball star.

Nadezya Ostapchuk didn’t administer any banned product intentionally

The Belarusian shot putter Nadezya Ostapchuk won the gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics. But she failed a drug test. As a result, she was stripped of the medal which was given to Valeria Adams of New Zealand.
Two tests manifested that a steroid’s metabolites presented in her urine samples.
If a sportsperson is caught using any forbidden medications, he/she is commonly sentenced to a suspension of two years. As for Nadezya Ostapchuk, she received one-year suspension. Why was the sentence lighter? There were several circumstances that proved the following condition: Nadezya Ostapchuk didn’t take any forbidden medication intentionally.
At the beginning the Belarusian shot putter blamed his former coach. She claimed that he had sabotaged her sample.
The Belarusian National Anti-Doping Agency investigated this case. The International Association of Athletic Federation assisted the investigation. It was found out that Yefimov was guilty. This person put powder of methenolone into food of Nadezya Ostapchuk during the last week before the 2012 Olympics. The coach reported that he had worried about Nadezya Ostapchuk. He thought that this steroid would help to win.
Actually, it is difficult to define why Yefimov has done it. He only caused the problem.
Anti-doping officials accepted these affirmations. That’s why the Belarusian shot putter received just one-year suspension.
As for supporters of Valeria Adams, they didn’t believe that the Belarusian shot putter had not used the steroid knowingly. They claimed that Yefimov just tried to protect Nadezya Ostapchuk. They said that the Belarusian shot putter had taken steroids under recommendations of her coach.
If the Belarusian shot putter’s performance was amazing several months before the 2012 London Olympics, her trainer had to be sure that she would win. Why did he worry about her performance?

Feds asked former girlfriends of some athletes about testicles and erections of sportspersons

Certain sportspersons who are suspected of steroid use become targets of the government. Feds do almost anything in order to learn whether several sportspersons have taken any performance-enhancing drugs. They don’t spare taxpayers’ funds for this goal. Much money is wasted to learn even private life of sportspersons. According to the government, certain details of their private behavior can reveal the truth about application of prohibited substances. Thus, girlfriends of certain athletes are interviewed by feds.
For example, it has been disclosed that former girlfriends of Lance Armstrong and Roger Clemens and a former mistress of Barry Bonds have been asked about several details related to private life of these athletes. Which questions were asked?
Kimberly Bell, a former mistress of Barry Bonds, was asked about testicles of this baseball player. She noted that the athlete’s testicles were shrunken. So, her answer served as a proof that Barry Bonds applied steroids and/or other prohibited medications.
It is known that shrinkage of testicles belongs to negative effects of certain steroids. Thus, the government decided to find out whether Barry Bonds had had this trouble. But it is an unreliable argument in order to prove that anyone has administered some forbidden drugs. Steroid users can prevent this undesirable consequence, if they apply some drugs for this need.
Mindy McCready, a former mistress of Roger Clemens, was asked whether this former baseball player had had erectile dysfunctions. The singer affirmed that sometimes Roger Clemens had experienced this problem.
As for erectile dysfunctions, they may occur during intake of steroids. But if you study information about side effects of steroids more attentively, you can comprehend that this problem is more likely to appear after discontinuation of usage. It happens because natural testosterone production is normally suppressed by intake of exogenous testosterone. But since there are such products that are able to regenerate natural production of testosterone, erectile dysfunctions can be prevented.
Sheryl Crow, a former girlfriend of Lance Armstrong, was also targeted by federal prosecutors. But questions are not revealed. According to several suppositions, she might have been asked also about sexuality of the cyclist.
In fact, the government has a wrong point of view in this case. However shrinkage of testicles and erectile dysfunctions may appear on account of steroid use, these arguments are not reliable.

Don Hooton’s presentations about steroids

Several remedies are called “performance-enhancing drugs”. What do these medications represent? Why have been they called “performance-enhancing”? Various people may have different definitions. Let mention what a teenager believes! Before presenting her point of view it is necessary to mention that her brother, Taylor Hooton, experienced serious depression after application of steroids. Ultimately, he committed suicide. He desired to look like Melky Cabrera, Barry Bonds and other famous sportspersons that have taken steroids. But his death came suddenly. His sister notes that performance-enhancing drugs are dangerous products. They are named “performance-enhancing drugs” in order to lure young people that want to improve their appearances and performances.
Don Hooton, Taylor’s father, established a foundation to educated youth about dangers connected with steroids. He describes which dangers are associated with intake of anabolic steroids and other related preparations. He also utilizes slideshow presentations in order to explain that these medicines may cause such unwanted consequences, as diabetes, heart diseases, liver disorders, etc.
Don Hooton put efforts to educate young individuals about serious risks linked with intake of steroids. But he admits that it is difficult. He claims that a lot of young persons apply doping products. When their friends see that they become stronger and more muscular, they desire to be like them. They follow their examples in order to change appearance and have more endurance.
Unluckily, several parents think that their children are free from steroid use. Some of them believe that their daughters don’t take steroids because these drugs are recommended to gain muscles and body weight in general. But according to numerous sources, girls also apply steroids. They apply these preparations in order to lose fat. Certain parents don’t know that anabolic steroids are also taken to burn fat. That’s why grown-ups also should be taught about effects of steroids. Furthermore, some parents believe that their children don’t take steroids because these preparations are expensive. But it is enough to have 20-500 dollars in order to get steroids for a cycle.
It is stated that every16th high school student administers steroids. But this point of view is mistaken. Every 16th high school student admits to taking doping products.   But many young people hide that they apply these products.
Those that listen to Don Hooton’s explanations about steroids express their thanks. They are thankful that they may get knowledge about these preparations.

It is ironically that steroids are blamed in our fake world

Anyone knows that anabolic steroids are often blamed. If an athlete or a bodybuilder uses steroids and/or other doping products, he/she is considered to be a cheater. Sportswriters report about such athletes as about those who have spoiled their reputation. Anti-doping officers put incredible efforts and spend money in other to catch athletes that dope. Even the government spends taxpayers’ funds and time in order to prove that some sportspersons have applied steroids and/or performance-enhancing drugs. It is claimed that those who dope take unfair advantages in sports.
Numerous pieces of news describe the war on steroids. But let think whether arguments against usage of steroids are strong enough to prove that it is disgraceful to use them.
It is stated that steroid-using sportspersons serve as a bad example for kids and young people. It is known that youth sees a lot of sports stars that administer steroids and other related preparations. As a result, young people desire to look and be as strong, as these prominent sports figures.  Moreover, it is widely disputed about health risks connected with steroids. But if you are attentive, you can see that these arguments are weak because hypocrisy reigns here.
Let examine the most frequently used arguments against intake of anabolic steroids and/or other related products.
According to the first argument, usage of steroids is closely associated with certain possible health dangers. Many articles warn about shrunken testicles and enlargement of heart that may occur on account of steroid use. However it may be true, let analyze our life. We consume unhealthy food, however we know that it destroys our health. Certain individuals administer antidepressants that are also quite unsafe. We are also involved in other unhealthy activities.
According to another argument against steroids, steroid-using sportspersons have unfair advantages in competitions. They win because they improve performance with these medicines. Let see what happens in other areas, for example, in the world of entertainment.  Numerous actors and actresses improve their appearances and performances in order to play certain roles in movies. They also have unfair advantages over others with the help of certain surgeries and other things. But they are not sentenced to suspensions.
While it is affirmed that steroid-using athletes send bad messages to young persons who desire to look like them and follow their examples, nobody notes about the bad example of actors and actresses. Young girls also want to look like those they see in magazines.
While federal prosecutors pursue sportspeople who take steroids, they have nothing to do with actors and actresses who act the same way.
It is clear that arguments against intake of steroids are very weak. They display hypocrisy which reigns in our counterfeit world.

Why did Nadzeya Ostapchuk test positive for metenolone?

Nadzeya Ostapchuk, a shot putter from Belorussia obtained the gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics. But she was stripped of the award because she failed a drug test. She was asked to provide two samples. The substance metenolone presented in both urine samples.
If you read news linked with doping, you must know that competitive sportspersons and bodybuilders are usually caught using other steroids and/or doping products. But as for Nadzeya Ostapchuk, she was caught administering metenolone. It is strange, according to words of anti-doping officers. What does this banned medication represent? Why don’t sportspersons ordinarily use this product for enhancement of performance?
Metenolone is an anabolic steroid. It has weak androgenic properties. It works like testosterone, enhancing muscle mass and adding strength.
However this steroid has only weak androgenic nature, it causes development of sex male features in females. Women that apply this medication may face usual signs of masculinization: the voice deepens; hair grows on the face and on other parts of the body; etc.
This medicine can be applied orally or through injections.
Metenolone (Methenolone) benefits greatly, when it is applied by sportspeople during their trainings. It is not administered during competitions. It doesn’t work, if it is applied just on the day of a competition.
It is also affirmed that it is easy to detect those who use this anabolic steroid.
Undesirable effects of Metenolone (Methenolone) depend upon quantities which are applied. They are following: water retention, elevated calcium level in the blood, bone growth, excessive hair growth on the body, acne, male-pattern baldness, menstrual problems, increased libido, etc.
Thus, when you see a female athlete who has deep voice and excessive hair growth on the body, you may accuse her of steroid use. Actually, it is wrong because these troubles may occur also in those females that don’t use any steroids. But sometimes these effects manifest that certain women take drugs that possess androgenic properties.

Australian doctor was accused of improper medical practice

Several physician abuse their position, recommending products that don’t correspond to therapeutic needs of patients. Why does it happen? It is known that several products are claimed to be prescription medicines. It means that you can’t purchase them legally, if you don’t have any prescription from your treating physician. Anabolic steroids belong to such medications. It is illegal to buy steroids without a prescription in several countries. Those who do it may be punished. They may be sentenced to imprisonment and/or fines. Of course, a lot of individuals seek methods to get and administer these drugs without having legal problems.
Anabolic steroids are often abused. A lot of sportspersons and bodybuilders take these products not for clinical needs but for enhancement of performance. If they live in countries where these medicines can’t be bought legally without prescriptions, they find some ways to mask their illegal purchase and application. Sportspeople, bodybuilders and even ordinary people ask their physicians to prescribe them these drugs, as if they had therapeutic needs to administer them. Thus, certain physicians induce selling anabolic steroids to those who abuse them. Here is a case.
Peter Grant, an Australian health care provider, prescribed steroids to 14 persons during 9 years. Medical state of these persons didn’t require intake of these drugs. Thus, the doctor was accused of inappropriate practicing medicine. For example, he recommended to a patient taking such preparations, as Halotestin, Sustanon, Andriol Testocaps, Deca Durabolin, Scitropin and Proviron. But there was no any medical basis to prescribe these medicines to this man. Furthermore, these drugs were prescribed him during nine years.
The doctor Peter Grant acknowledged that some patients were competing. So, he prescribed them steroids. He also admitted to learning scientific information about anabolic steroids. He claimed that he knew how steroids worked. Thus, he supervised the patients who applied anabolic steroids.
Taking these factors into account, it is possible to claim that the health care provider Peter Grant was better known by those who administered steroids for increase of performance than by those that had to be cured from some health problems. Peter Grant confirmed that he knew that steroids were purchased by his patients only for personal usage.
When the doctor appeared in the court, the judge claimed that the physician promoted selling steroids. The judge noticed that Peter Grant had to be punished properly. Peter Grant was suspended from practicing medicine for 12 months. Furthermore, the judge confirmed that he would be disciplined during the next 2 years.

Feds scheduled Sheryl Crow to appear in court

Lance Armstrong was accused of doping. It was suspected that the athlete had used EPO and other forbidden preparations.
Numerous individuals provided their testimonies in the court during the investigation related to Lance Armstrong’s case. A former girlfriend of the cyclist was also targeted. She had to appear in the court. Some sports writers claimed that the musician Sheryl Crow had been interviewed by feds.
The athlete Lance Armstrong and the musician Sheryl Crow were claimed to be one of the most famous couples. They spent a lot of time together. Sheryl Crow lived with the seven-time winner of Tour de France in Spain. The musician travelled with the cyclist during his trainings. They were in a close relationship, when the cyclist won Tour de France the 7th time.
Lance Armstrong’s former teammates Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton confirmed that Lance Armstrong had used prohibited preparations. They also stated that the athlete had been the leader of a doping team. Moreover, Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton said that Armstrong’s apartment had been full of equipment used for administration of prohibited medications. These persons were going to testify against Lance Armstrong. They claimed that the cyclist had won Tour de France 7 times with the help of banned medications.
When it comes to Armstrong’s girlfriend Sheryl Crow, she didn’t appear in the court because the case against the 7-time Tour de France winner was dropped prior to the hearing.
While the government dropped the case, the USADA continued to prosecute the former athlete. As a result, Lance Armstrong forfeited his titles. He was also banned from sports for the whole life. Luckily, his charity against cancer was not affected at all. Sponsors continue to support him and donate. However his titles are lost, Lance Armstrong is appreciated because he helps numerous persons in their efforts against cancer.

ESPN2 journalist: Derek Jeter uses doping products

The ESPN2 journalist Skip Bayless accuses Derek Jeter, a baseball star, of steroid use. He has pronounced his thoughts of criticism during the talk show “First take”.
Actually, Skip Bayless doesn’t have any basis in order to suppose that Derek Jeter uses forbidden medications. Despites this fact, the affirmations of the journalist have been spread. Before accusing Derek Jeter of doping, the reporter started to criticize anti-doping system of the MLB. He stated that the MLB’s tests for banned medications are not sophisticated enough to catch those that administer banned medications.
The sports journalist Skip Bayless reminded Victor Conte’s point of view connected with testosterone:epitestosterone ratio test which is performed in the MLB. This method is not sophisticated enough to catch those that take banned medicines. Instead of this method, it is necessary to utilize another. Carbon isotope ratio is more appropriate.
Skip Bayless also noticed that the MLB didn’t have any testing for HGH. The test for this drug is performed in the MLB just once per year. But blood tests for this medicine should be performed more times during year. Under other circumstances, players may use this medication and remain undetectable.
So, the journalist supposes that Derek Jeter applies HGH and prohibited preparations. The ESPN2 journalist also notes that if he were a baseball player, he would apply HGH.
So, the ESPN2 journalist supposes that MLB players administer HGH and probably other prohibited drugs without being caught by anti-doping officers.
It is quite evident that the steroid era in baseball is not over. Professional baseball players apply different banned preparations and avoid detection. But nobody can accuse an athlete of steroid use, basing just on unsophisticated drug testing. It is necessary to focus on facts, accusing an athlete of usage of forbidden medicines. Under other circumstances, any suspicion doesn’t have any value.

Melky Cabrera created fake web site to avoid suspension for his positive for testosterone

It happens frequently that when sportspersons test positive for any banned preparations, they try to prove that they have never taken any banned drug intentionally. They are looking for various ways to manifest that they are innocent. They do a lot in order to escape from bans and/or other sanctions. Here is a case.
The baseball player Melky Cabrera tested positive for the anabolic steroid testosterone. Of course, he was sentenced to a ban. Like other sportspersons he decided to find a way to prove his innocence and escape from the suspension.
Numerous doping athletes that are caught affirm that they have applied a dietary supplement which caused positive for certain prohibited substance. However certain sportspersons may have used contaminated dietary supplements, many athletes administer steroids and choose this way of defense because it works in many situations.
Thus, Melky Cabrera claimed that he had applied a dietary supplement that led to his positive for testosterone. In fact, it was a lie. Trying to avoid the 50-game suspension, he also created a web site and posted a fictitious supplement and advertisements that induced selling it. The product didn’t exist in reality. It was just a lie of Melky Cabrera and his associates in order to defend the professional baseball player.
Juan Nunez, a paid consultant for Athletes’ Career Enhanced and Secured Incorporated (ACES), created the web site.
But the hoax turned out to be unsuccessful. The MLB exposed Melky Cabrera and Juan Nunez. So, Melky Cabrera was enforced to serve the ban.
The ACES had also problems. Since Juan Nunez has been a consultant for ACES, the agency and Seth and Sam Levinson were suspected of involving in the hoax. But these persons affirmed that they were not implicated in the creation of the web site and the lie that was thought out by Melky Cabrera and Juan Nunez. Juan Nunez also confirmed that Seth and Sam Levinson had not been implicated in this hoax.
The case is still investigated by the Food and Drug Administration. It is unclear yet whether other individuals would be also prosecuted and punished for the hoax.

False report about anabolic steroids

Recently Australian Customs and Border Protection detained 4 men who had the anabolic steroids Oxandrolone (Anavar) and Primoteston Depot (testosterone). Andrew Almada, Cheuk Fai Chan, Prabal Islam and Mohammed Islam wanted to smuggle these products to Bangladesh. The drugs were confiscated and these persons were detained.
The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper presented a report about this situation, claiming that 4 persons were arrested while they tried to smuggle steroids that were intended for administration by prostitutes in Bangladesh. This piece of news surprised numerous people. What does The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper inform about? Do prostitutes apply the same medicines like sportspersons and bodybuilder who try to improve their performance, increasing muscle size and stamina? Why do prostitutes take anabolic steroids? Which is the goal?
Certain individuals realized that it was wrong to suppose that Andrew Almada, Cheuk Fai Chan, Prabal Islam and Mohammed Islam desired to smuggle the steroids in order to inject prostitutes with them. Of course, prostitutes don’t administer anabolic steroids. There is confusion here. Prostitutes apply corticosteroids which differ from anabolic steroids wholly. Corticosteroids produce other effects. They are able to increase performance in prostitutes. While anabolic steroids help to gain muscle size and decrease fat deposits, corticosteroids promote wasting muscles and enhance body fat levels.
Orexadon is one of catabolic steroids used by prostitutes. Those that apply this product look healthier and more attractive. So, such prostitutes that administer this medicine have more clients.
A prostitute that administers Orexadon affirms that she is capable serve up to 15 clients a day.
Thus, it is possible to affirm that prostitutes don’t take anabolic steroids that are commonly advised for performance-enhancing effects in sports and bodybuilding. Corticosteroids are more suitable medicines for them.
The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper presented a false report. Andrew Almada, Cheuk Fai Chan, Prabal Islam and Mohammed Islam didn’t smuggle steroids for prostitutes in Bangladesh.

Administration of Clomid by steroid users

When you purchase steroids for cycles, you should also get such medications which must be used to receive recovery after administration of steroids.
In case a steroid cycle lasts over 8 weeks, HCG should be used during the cycle. It is important to take in consideration that this product is applied just during steroid cycles.
There such medicines that must be used after steroid cycles. For example, Clomid should be used after steroid cycles. It is needed to start using this medicine after androgen levels fall significantly and recovery with this medicine becomes possible. It is normally recommended to start taking Clomid with an enhanced dose (300 mg/day) and reduce it gradually till 50 mg a day. Then decreased quantities are used until steroid users are sure that natural secretion of testosterone is restored and testicles have returned to their normal size.
If Clomid is taken circa 6 weeks and no improvement is observed, it is needed to interrupt usage of this medication. Then if improvements don’t occur, it is required to continue applying Clomid till recovery is gotten. It is permitted to take this medicine a year. Several studies have demonstrated that long-term application of this remeduy doesn’t result in serious problems. However some persons may experience vision troubles because of Clomid, these troubles are not irreversible. They disappear after discontinuation of usage. If any negative effects linked with vision system appear in those that take Clomid, they must stop applying this medicine.
Clomid may be also used after steroid use. A typical dosage is 75 mg daily in such situations.
Although there are such medications that help to get recovery after steroid cycles and keep strength and muscle gains, it is not a good idea to apply prolonged steroid cycles.

Safety and potency of Clomid and Nolvadex

Many people frequently ask which drug is more appropriate for a PCT: Clomid vs Nolvadex. While certain consumers of steroids believe that Clomid is better for this purpose, others confirm that Nolvadex is more proper. Several persons claim that Clomid and Nolvadex should be stacked.
When you examine structures of these medicines, you may see that they have similar structures. That’s why they have several similar properties. But the most of persons and even experts affirm that Clomid and Nolvadex are wholly different products. Which basis does this opinion have? These drugs are utilized in medicine for various purposes. Nolvadex is indicated for treatment of breast cancer in females. As for Clomid, it is used in case of infertility. That’s why it is believed that these are entirely different medicines.
Actually, they may be also administered for various purposes in bodybuilding and sports. Clomid is recommended in order to receive recovery after a steroid cycle during a PCT. When it comes to Nolvadex, it is ordinarily administered as an anti-estrogen product.
Comparing potency of these medications, it is possible to see that Nolvadex is more powerful anti-estrogen compound than Clomid.
Both Clomid and Nolvadex have ability to lower levels of estrogen, stimulating hypothalamus to secrete greater quantities of testosterone.
As for dosages of these preparations, they are different because one of them is more powerful than another. Clomid should be used in more increased measures. Thus, such quantities of Nolvadex, as 20-40 mg, lead to more obvious benefits than 100-150 mg of Clomid.
Nolvadex is not the most powerful anti-estrogen. Such medicines, as Proviron, Arimidex and Viratase, are considered to be more potent but Nolvadex and Clomid work faster.
Sometimes Clomid or Nolvadex may be administered together with Arimidex or Proviron during a steroid cycle. Such combinations are usually administered in case of gynecomastia.
When you want to choose which medicine you should administer: Nolvadex or Clomid, you should take in consideration several aspects.
Nolvadex has positive impact on cholesterol levels. It also has more direct influence on natural secretion of testosterone than Clomid. As it has been already noted, Nolvadex is more potent than Clomid. In addition to these positive features, Nolvadex is safer. Moreover, Nolvadex leads to less serious side reactions than Clomid because lower measures are needed to cause good effects. Furthermore, while adverse effects of Clomid are irreversible, those of Nolvadex disappear after discontinuation of administration. The only priority of Clomid is following: it helps to maintain more potential gains than Nolvadex.
Knowing these differences between Nolvadex and Clomid, steroid users can make their choice correctly.
