Mark McGwire is devoted to baseball

Mark McGwire, an American professional baseball player and coach, escapes from his past linked with application of steroids successfully. He gains his celebrity again. This person is actively implicated in professional baseball again.
Although Mark McGwire knows that he doesn’t have any chance to be introduced into the Hall of Fame, he doesn’t become disappointed. He continues to like baseball.
St. Louis Cardinals were coached by this person two seasons. Then this man planned to stop coaching this team because he desires to spend more time with his family. Fortunately, the American baseball coach will not leave professional baseball in order to have more time for his family. The Los Angeles Dodgers asked Mark McGwire to coach them. Mark McGwire agreed. Coaching this team will not disturb this person to spend sufficient time with his wife and kids because he it takes for him just an hour in order to drive from his home to the Dodgers Stadium.
This athlete and coach spoiled his reputation because he had applied steroids. After Mark McGwire was found guilty of doping he didn’t want to comment anything about these preparations. However journalists asked him about administration of steroids by him and other baseball players, Mark McGwire refused to answer these questions. He noticed that statements about administration of steroids by other sportspersons could jeopardize his family and friends.  
Finally the American baseball player and coach admitted to taking forbidden drugs. He noticed that he made a serious mistake, taking these substances. The American baseball player and coach acknowledged that he didn’t act properly. The American baseball player and coach apologized for violation of anti-doping program. Then the American sportsman and coach was allowed to come back to professional baseball. So, he began to restore his reputation which was spoiled because of the mistake related to administration of banned preparations.

How do police officers bust sports nutrition stores that sell steroids?

Sports nutrition stores offer for sale not only real nutrition supplements. They label steroidal substances as dietary supplements and sell them. But authorities put efforts to control and avoid sale of steroids as if they were just supplements. That’s why clerks of sports nutrition shops distribute steroids illegally. Those that come to such stores are often informed that they may purchase steroids as well.
 But these factors are known not only by steroid users but also by police officers. So, law enforcements conduct undercover investigations in order to bust sports nutrition stores that offer steroids for sale. Clerks should know that if a client desires to purchase steroids, arranging a deal outside the shop, he must be an undercover police officer. That’s why those who are involved in illegal operations connected with sale of steroids should be quite cautious to avoid legal problems. Although they know about these aspects, they make typical mistakes that lead to arrests, charges and prison.
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 operations of this person, they began to conduct an investigation. The investigation lasted circa a month and was led by The Walpole Police Department.
An undercover agent came to the shop frequently and bought dietary supplements. He was talking to the clerk quite often. So, a friendly relation was established. Finally they discussed about steroids. The undercover agent said that he would like to buy steroids. So, he agreed to obtain 2 vials of steroids from George Touma. The officer had to give $300 for the medicines. The deal was arranged outside the store. After the purchase had taken place police officers arrested the clerk.
As a result, the clerk of the GNC was accused of illegal possession and sale of anabolic steroids.

Celebrated tennis players: anti-doping policies should be altered

Great changes occurred in several types of sports after the USADA publicized its dossier on the celebrated cyclist Lance Armstrong. The well-known American cyclist was applying steroids and other related medicines throughout the whole athletic career but he never tested positive for any banned drug. He utilized several efficient ways to remain undetectable. Nevertheless, finally he turned out to be guilty of doping.
Lance Armstrong’s doping case has demonstrated that anti-doping policies failed. Thus, they must be altered. Otherwise, competitions will be unfair. We’ll never see real sports heroes.
These factors influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Some sports organizations affirmed that anti-doping policies should be changed in order to catch those that apply steroids and/or other related drugs.
Not only anti-doping agencies but also sportspeople believe that anti-doping policies should be modified. Some sportspersons desire to assure that their sport is clean. For example, several tennis players believe that more drug testing should be conducted in tennis. It is necessary to note that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, believe that anti-doping policy is not quite suitable in tennis. They affirm that more drug testing is required in order to assure that tennis is free of doping.
The Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic said that he would submit to more drug testing in order to induce cleaning tennis of dopers.
Roger Federer also confirmed that more tests for forbidden medications should take place in tennis. He mentioned that earlier he was subjected to more tests. Then the number of tests became more reduced 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 often while being not in competitions.

Prosecution against Lance Armstrong

The USADA has publicized a report on the legendary cyclist Lance Armstrong.
Which impression do readers get, when they read this report? It is confirmed that a lot of individuals believe that each teammate of this legendary cyclist has applied steroids and/or other forbidden products. But is it true impression? Has each Lance Armstrong’s teammate doped?
According to the report on this sportsman, 11 teammates testified against him, confirming that he doped. Moreover, it was affirmed that Lance Armstrong and the most mates of his team applied sophisticated ways in order to be capable to dope and prevent detection.
However some Lance Armstrong’s teammates admitted to taking steroids and/or other related medicines, some teammates denied doping. For example, Julian Dean and Patrick Jonker were two teammates of the legendary cyclist that denied taking performance-enhancing drugs.
Julian Dean said that he neither doped, nor saw Lance Armstrong taking steroids and/or other related substances.
When it comes to Patrick Jonker, his statements were like those of Julian Dean. He said that he had never administered any forbidden substances. He stated that he competed cleanly and didn’t take any unfair advantage.
According to Patrick Jonker, usage of steroids and other related preparations is a serious problem in the sport of cycling. He believes that many cyclists dope. He confirms that it is important to fight against application of doping products in cycling. But he considers that appropriate methods should be utilized by anti-doping officers. This athlete is full of indignation, talking about prosecution related to Lance Armstrong.  Patrick Jonker thinks that murderers are less pursued than the 7-time Tour de France winner.

Steroids don’t play any significant role in tennis

The Scottish tennis player Andy Murray claims that tennis is not tainted by usage of steroids and other related medications. He notes that application of doping products doesn’t represent any problem in this sport. He states 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 knows that this sport is not entirely clean. This man acknowledges that certain tennis players apply forbidden preparations too.
If you take cycling as an example, you may notice that it is associated with allegations regarding doping by the well-known cyclist Lance Armstrong. Cycling commentators and journalists put efforts to manifest that doping reigns in other sports too. Thus, they put efforts to direct attentions of people from cycling to others sports. They note that administration of steroids and other related products is a problem not just in cycling. Tennis turned out to be pointed out by them quite often.
Andy Murray decided to respond to such criticism. He notes that steroids and other related drugs don’t have any essential role in tennis. This athlete mentions about differences between tennis and cycling.
According to the tennis player, while steroids and other related drugs benefit in cycling evidentially, these remedies can’t cause any significant changes in tennis players. This athlete believes that while power which is needed in cycling can be obtained by doping, the skills that are required in tennis can’t be perfected by steroids and other related medications.
Actually, similar arguments are used in other sports as well. Baseball and basketball players also confirm that steroids don’t represent any serious problem in their sports because these substances don’t have ability to enhance performance in their sports.
But it is impossible to doubt about efficacy of steroids on performance of any athlete. Since these preparations can add strength, speed and endurance, they have great role in tennis and other sports.

Belarusian president plans to criminalize doping

Alexander Lukashenko, the Belarusian president, is also the president of the National Olympic Committee. He was very despondent after the Belarusian female shot-putter Nadzeya Ostapchuk tested positive for a forbidden drug. The president was too frustrated. The Belarusian president turned out to be a serious fan of sports. He felt ashamed that representatives of his country destroyed Belarusian’s sports reputation by positives for banned products. As a result, he stated that certain changes would be added to laws.
Alexander Lukashenko noted that it was needed to criminalize usage of banned preparations in sports. So, sports will be probably clean. This statement was pronounced by Alexander Lukashenko after Nadzeya Ostapchuk was caught applying methenolone. This medication is better known as Primobolan.
The Belarusian president 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 capable to do it. Some 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 has ability to change the situation in sports by force too.
The Belarusian president doesn’t plan to discuss about administration of forbidden preparations in sports. There are other aspects which should be discussed, according to Alexander Lukashenko.
Anatoliy Tozik, the Vice-President for Alexander Lukashenko, claimed that they could form a sports scientific center that would be sponsored by the state. The center would conduct scientific researches related to mental and pharmacological support for top athletes. Alexander Lukashenko agreed to form this center.
It is not yet clear whether the president will clean sports at any cost. Will he use his force for this purpose?

David Howman: anti-doping system is proper in International Tennis Federation

David Howman expresses his thoughts about anti-doping programs in some sports organizations. While the director general of the WADA seems to be happy with jobs of some sports organizations, he claims that anti-doping systems in other leagues/teams are not appropriate.
For example, David Howman praises the International Tennis Federation (ITF) for its anti-doping system. The director general of the WADA confirms that anti-doping system is appropriate in tennis.
But as for the National Basketball Association (NBA), it doesn’t want to adopt its anti-doping system to that of the WADA. It doesn’t agree to add certain new drug tests in order to catch those that use steroids and/or other banned drugs. That’s why David Howman claims that the anti-doping policy of the NBA is not good enough to catch those that dope. He confirms that the NBA should add more sophisticated new methods as well.
David Howman confirms that drug tests conducted in tennis are of high quality. But there is a defect in tennis’ anti-doping system. Many tests take place during competitions. But few tests are conducted out-of-competition. That’s why ITF’s anti-doping policy is also criticized.
Of course, nobody can confirm that anti-doping program of ITF is perfect. It has certain lacks too. But it is quite adequate.
Thus, you should not think that tennis is clean from doping wholly. Some tennis players are likely to use steroids and/or related products. But it is not so tainted, as some other sports.
 Only one tennis player was suspended for usage of prohibited preparations. However it seems to prove that tennis is clean, it is important to take in consideration that there are certain ways to avoid detection. As you probably know, the famous cyclist Lance Armstrong administered steroids and other related preparations and avoided detection much time. Couldn’t tennis players dope and use the same methods?

Lance Armstrong pays for his doping

The USADA published a report linked with doping by the celebrated American cyclist Lance Armstrong. According to the report, this sportsman applied steroids and other related preparations. After publishing some sponsors that donated for Lance Armstrong’s foundation Livestrong decided to cut their links 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 Lance Armstrong. Ultimately Nike claimed that it would not have anything longer with the athlete that was cheating more than 10 years.
24 Hour Fitness also refused to collaborate with Lance Armstrong anymore.
Some other companies also made the decision to stop sponsoring Lance Armstrong’s charity organization.
However, the athlete tried to do a lot in order to prevent negative influence of his athletic reputation on the organization that helps persons with cancer to survive. He affirmed that he would not be the chairman of the foundation anymore. Although the cyclist tried to keep sponsors, he couldn’t do it.
As for the USADA, it affirmed that Lance Armstrong was found guilty of doping. As a result, the athlete received lifetime suspension. Furthermore, he forfeited all 7 titles acquired at Tour de France.
But the International Cycling Union (ICU) confirmed that the USADA made a wrong decision. Although Lance Armstrong discontinued fighting against accusations pronounced by the USADA, the ICU affirmed that it would appeal the decision even without involvement of the athlete.
Although Lance Armstrong never tested positive for any prohibited drug, it was concluded that he was guilty of doping. It was stated that he used steroids and other forbidden drugs but he used certain simple as well sophisticated ways in order to prevent positives. Thus, Lance Armstrong was able to dope and remain undetectable.
Now the former professional cyclist pays for his doping. The decision of some companies to stop sponsoring his organization is a great loss for this person.

David Howman: NBA officers should accept additional drug testing

The WADA’s director general David Howman confirms that the National Basketball Association (NBA) anti-doping program is not good enough to detect those who use forbidden products. He claims that drug testing conducted in the NBA is not suitable. While the NFL and the MLB accepted additional tests, the NBA didn’t agree to do the same things.
The basketball player Derrick Rose also confirmed that numerous NBA players administered steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. This sport is not clean, according to the former basketball player. It is believed that David Howman’s point of view related to intake of steroids in the NBA is resulted from words pronounced by the former basketball player.
The NBA doesn’t want to adopt its anti-doping policy to that of the WADA. The NBA officers note that steroids and other related preparations don’t have capacity 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 performance-enhancing drugs can’t enhance performance of basketball players. They notice that doping products don’t benefit this sport.
Do NBA officers have a right point of view? Aren’t steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs capable to enhance performance of those who play basketball? What do facts demonstrate? What does scientific literature state about effects of steroids and other related products?
In fact, everybody knows that steroids and several other drugs benefit in any sport. They just should be applied properly and accompanied by suitable diets and trainings. These drugs play significant role in sports. It is impossible to contest efficacy of steroids and other doping products in basketball. Affirmations of NBA officers are ridiculous.
Undoubtedly, any league wants to consider that their sport is not tainted. Nonetheless, it is needed to see the reality. That’s why the director general of the WADA confirms that it is necessary to conduct more and more sophisticated drug testing in order to catch those who apply prohibited substances.

Philadelphia policeman pled guilty to illegal sale of steroids and other doping products

Illicit distribution of anabolic steroids prospers. Although authorities put efforts to prevent illicit production, sale, possession and administration of steroids, some police officers are also implicated in such illegal deals. Furthermore, as it is determined, some policemen mastermind illicit deals linked with anabolic steroids and other doping products.
The former Philadelphia policeman Keith Gidelson was found guilty of illegal distribution of steroids and certain other medicines, such as HGH, IGF-1, anti-estrogen medications, etc. The drugs that were offered for sale by this policeman were marketed as Sciroxx drugs.
Keith Gidelson turned out to be the leader of a steroid ring. So, he was not distributing steroids alone. He was working together with certain other persons, including his wife and two other police officers.
Those that desired to acquire anabolic steroids contacted the Philadelphia police officer per internet. So, customers ordered needed anabolic steroids or/and other related preparations. Then these medicines were shipped to the customers.
When orders arrived, Keith Gidelson informed his customers per handy. He called them or wrote messages. That’s why it was easy to bust this illicit drug chain. The police officer talked to his clients about steroids and other related drugs 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 offered for sale by Keith Gidelson and his co-conspirators. These products were acquired from China and Europe. Then they were delivered to those that ordered them via internet.  
The Philadelphia police officer will be sentenced in January 2013.

Common mistakes made by bodybuilders that have obtained steroids illegally

Some bodybuilders are caught possessing anabolic steroids and other illegal preparations because they make some mistakes while possessing these products. For example, a bodybuilder plans to apply performance-enhancing drugs. He finds a trustworthy online pharmacy and places an order for some medicines. Then he pays for these products. The preparations are sent. The bodybuilder goes to a post office and takes the package which contains the preparations which have been ordered by him. It seems to him that everything is successful. The package has not been intercepted. The medications have not been confiscated. This man takes the products and goes home.
Of course, the bodybuilder can’t wait until he arrives home to begin his cycle with these products. He desires to be at home, take the products and look in the mirror and see wanted effects. Thinking about potential effects and improvement of appearance, this person begins to violate traffic rules. He exceeds speed because he wants to be at home sooner. Furthermore, this man has another problem. He has a suspended driver’s license. When policemen see that this man 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. So, they find that this person possesses steroids and other illegal drugs. This man gets legitimate troubles. His hope doesn’t become real. He gets troubles instead of wanted effects.
 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 certain traffic rules, he was stopped by policemen that saw that he had a suspended driver’s license. When they searched this person’s car, they found that this person possessed steroids, needles and syringes.
Thus, if you possess steroids and/or other related products while driving your car, don’t make common mistakes! Don’t violate traffic rules! Avoid driving with a suspended driver’s license! So, you can avoid legal problems.

Pharmacies and supplement stores located in India sell steroids illegally

Distribution and usage of steroids without a physician’s prescription are claimed to be illegal in India. But illicit distribution and application of steroids and other related drugs prosper in this state. A lot of sportspeople acquire these products at pharmacies and supplement stores and apply 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 pharmacies and supplement stores. Local police officers decided to search drug stores and supplement stores regularly in order to control illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. After some raids certain drug stores and supplement stores lost their business licenses.
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 searched 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 found by police officers. Certain other steroids were sold illegally too. So, this pharmacy was shut down.
The Health World supplement store located in Kottakkal was also lately raided. Police officers found that Methandienone, Equipose, Testosterone Undecanoate and some other steroids were offered for sale at this supplement store. So, it was shut down as well.
Another supplement store which was raided was the AM Nutrition store. But it was not prosecuted because no any steroids were sold at the store.
Police officers plan to continue raids. Several drug stores and supplement stores may lose their licenses for illegal sale of steroids and other related products.

Athletes believe that Tommy John surgery increases performance

High school athletes are ready to do a lot in order to increase their muscles and improve performance. While some sportspersons try to increase speed, baseball players try to increase throwing speed.
What do high school athletes really do for this need? You probably know that many sportspersons take anabolic steroids in order to gain muscles and increase performance. But intake of steroids and other related medications is not the only method that seems to be effective for some athletic purposes. Several high school athletes want to have the operation ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction which is also known as Tommy John surgery.
Actually, high school athletes don’t know about several conditions related to Tommy John surgery. They base their points of view on the case related to the baseball player Tommy John that got UCL damage during a baseball game. After the damage the baseball player was very discouraged. The baseball player thought that didn’t have any chance longer to play professional baseball. This man came to the surgeon Frank Jobe. The health care provider operated this man successfully. After the operation the baseball player returned to baseball. Tommy John’s further career was very successful. Tommy John won many games. So, this surgery was called after this baseball player: Tommy John surgery.
When high school athletes find out about Tommy John, they desire to become as excellent players, as he was. They suggest that the surgery induced winning because this person won more games after the surgery than before. Although high school athletes may suggest properly, they have several misconceptions about this operation. They think that they may be operated in absence of any damage and improve their performance. But high school athletes don’t take into account that nobody can come back to playing baseball soon after such surgery. Certain period of time is required to get recovery. Moreover, it is necessary to take into account that several risks connected with Tommy John surgery. They may suffer from permanently stiff elbow. Several other risks are also linked with this operation.
So, high school athletes don’t comprehend the essence of this surgery correctly. When they have elbow pains, they visit their doctors, trying to convince them they should be probably subjected to Tommy John surgery.

However Arnold Schwarzenegger used steroids, he didn’t get infertility

Maria Shriver didn’t get pregnant during the first three years of her marriage to the famous American bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger. Her mother was in trouble. Since the bodybuilder took steroids, she feared that these preparations could cause infertility in him. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mother-in-law brought a scientific report about steroids to her daughter. The report described probable unwanted reactions of steroids, including infertility.
Arnold Schwarzenegger claimed that he found this report on the desk of his wife occasionally. So, he studied it. He laughed much. The bodybuilder confirmed that his mother-in-law was out of control.
But Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mother-in-law troubled without any reason. Her daughter and the bodybuilder became parents of four children. Furthermore, Arnold Schwarzenegger got a kid as a result of his extra-marital relations. So, it was evident that steroids didn’t have any negative influence on reproductive system of this man.
Do steroids produce infertility in male consumers? These drugs suppress natural secretion of the hormone testosterone. That’s why men who take these products may have infertility. But it is necessary to know that this undesirable effect is not irreversible. When men discontinue taking steroids, their natural production of testosterone is restored. So, this unwanted effect disappears.  
The autobiography published by Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals numerous interesting aspects connected with steroids. This well-known bodybuilder took steroids during his competitive career. Anabolic steroids helped him to succeed. Intake of these substances was not prohibited in professional bodybuilding, when Arnold Schwarzenegger competed.

Non-medical usage of steroids should be eliminated

Timothy Armstrong of the World Health Organization says that anabolic steroids are dangerous for public health. While these preparations are often applied by sportspeople, bodybuilders and ordinary people for enhancement of muscles and strength, they may have negative impact on physical and mental health of consumers. Unluckily, dangers related to these medicines are not treated seriously. However numerous scientists warn that these preparations may produce severe adverse results, numerous people continue to use them for athletic needs.
Timothy Armstrong puts efforts to protect public health. He has presented a speech about steroid abuse at a conference organized by the chairman of the International Olympic Committee Arne Ljungqvist. Thus, Timothy Armstrong helps to eradicate illegal application of steroids.
As for Arne Ljungqvist, he put efforts in order to fight against application 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 take unfair advantage over those who don’t apply these drugs. Thus, they act inappropriately.
Undoubtedly, Arne Ljungqvist is happy that Timothy Armstrong is also against intake 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 usage of performance-enhancing drugs from professional sports.
Timothy Armstrong confirms that anti-doping agencies should have direct connections with law enforcements and customs officers. If they collaborate, their war on illicit deals linked with steroids and other controlled substances will be more efficient. They should inform each other about persons that have something to do with illicit drugs. Thus, they will have ability to achieve their goals.

Crime committed by drunk US marine

Audrey Allen, an 18-month old child, was killed 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 home, he was at a local bar where he drank much alcohol. He had to care about the baby, when she cried. But Joshua Allen Kruzik beat her very cruelly. As a result, the little child got numerous severe head injuries. The little girl died at a local hospital.
David Kohn, the defense attorney for the murderer, noted that steroids were responsible for the abnormal behavior of his client. It was confirmed that the murderer used anabolic steroids. Before the incident he attempted to discontinue applying these medicines but he was not able to do it. The defense attorney claimed that anabolic steroids produced “roid rage” in Joshua Allen Kruzik. He couldn’t not control his aggression and beat the little child. According to David Kohn, his client was unconscious. Although the defense attorney said that his client was ready to take the total responsibility, he added that he was not guilty.
The little girl’s parents also confirmed that their friend applied anabolic steroids. The mother of the baby said that she had syringes at her home. Thus, she injected Kruzik with steroids, when he came. Several other persons also affirmed that he took steroids.
It is strange that anabolic steroids are blamed in this situation. Are these medicines responsible for the murder? Take into account that Joshua Allen Kruzik has been drunk, when he has beat the child!
It is unclear whether the judge will accept the steroid excuse.

Proper diets and workouts are required during intake of doping products for muscle and strength gains

Although natural bodybuilders put efforts to show that they can be as muscular as consumers of steroids, they fail to do it. Even those who have proper diets and intensive trainings can’t acquire the same muscle mass and energy like consumers of steroids. Gains which can be obtained because of appropriate usage of steroids and other related medicines are much more essential than those which are obtained naturally.
But you should know that steroids and other doping products can’t enhance muscle mass and endurance, if consumers don’t have intensive trainings and appropriate nutrition. However steroids have capacity to induce adding muscles and energy, it is not sufficient only to administer these products. Consumers of steroids must not be lazy persons. Otherwise, they will fail to obtain needed results. If consumers of steroids don’t train intensively during administration of doping products, they may get additional troubles instead of positive effects.
Those that are going to use steroids in order to gain muscles and enhance endurance should plan their workouts and diets. It is necessary to train hardly. However, it is important to take into account that muscles don’t grow, if they don’t have any rest. That’s why it is important to have well-planned workouts. Trainings and time of rest should be rotated properly.
Furthermore, it is required to plan which kinds of exercises should be performed. Your heart must work properly, if you desire to increase your muscles with steroids. That’s why cardio exercises should take place 3-4 hours per week.
Another factor that should be taken into account is nutrition. Muscles can be increased, if sufficient protein is consumed. Steroids and other related drugs can’t enhance muscles and add energy without usual physiological processes. Keep in mind that steroids don’t act magically! They act through stimulation of natural processes which occur in the body.
If you want to increase your muscle mass and endurance with steroids, you should learn and follow certain recommendations related to nutrition that are useful for achievement of these goals.

Arnold Schwarzenegger administered very low quantities of steroids

Arnold Schwarzenegger applied anabolic steroids. These products helped him to have success. The famous bodybuilder acknowledged that he succeeded because of these medications essentially. But he also said that other competitive bodybuilders used these drugs as well. The bodybuilder was aware of the fact that all top athletes and bodybuilders used anabolic steroids. If Arnold Schwarzenegger had not taken performance-enhancing drugs, other bodybuilders would have had unfair advantage over him.
Although the well-known bodybuilder admitted to administration of steroids, he never apologized. Administration of these preparations was not banned, when Arnold Schwarzenegger competed. Usage of steroids and other related drugs didn’t represent any problem in bodybuilding during that time.
Arnold Schwarzenegger affirmed that he didn’t know about risks related to usage of these preparations. But he also added that earlier bodybuilders didn’t take increased dosages like current bodybuilders.  That’s why it was not dangerous to use these remedies.
Today it is necessary to consider that athletes and bodybuilders take very increased dosages which may have negative impact on health. Application of enhanced dosages usually leads to grave permanent side results. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger is against application of steroids for performance-enhancing effects. Doses that were applied by the prominent bodybuilder were lower by 20 times than those used by current bodybuilders. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger cooperated with International Federation of Bodybuilders against intake of doping products in professional bodybuilding.

HGH is widely abused

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) has been initially developed for therapeutic purposes. This medication is recommended for treatment of children with growth disorders and adults that experience deficiency of growth hormone and associated troubles. But this product is frequently abused. Many weightlifters and other athletes apply this medication for athletic purposes. Under laws of some countries, including the USA, purchase and intake of this drug for non-medical needs are considered to be illegal.
Although this product is illicit without any prescription, it is not difficult to buy it. This preparation is widely available at online drug stored. Moreover, steroid dealers sell this medicine. Since the price is not high, numerous individuals have possibility to get it.
Those who take HGH illegally abuse also other products. They are not limited just by illicit intake of this medication. Which medications are also used by consumers of HGH?
Certain scientists decided to conduct a study connected with illegal administration of HGH. They enrolled 230 weightlifters aged 18-40 into the research. The scientists could find out that the most of these weightlifters administered not only HGH but also anabolic-androgenic steroids and insulin-like growth factor-1. Furthermore, many of them used recreational drugs, such as cocaine, ecstasy, etc.
Which dangers are faced by those who use increased quantities of HGH prolonged period of time? Unluckily, negative effects caused by high doses of this preparation are not studied sufficiently because health care providers usually don’t recommend increased dosages.  High quantities are commonly taken by those who administer this medication for performance-enhancing effects. But it is known that application of increased quantities during prolonged period of time may lead to dangerous side effects. This preparation may negatively influence on different systems, including endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular, etc. It is important to be very cautious because high quantities of this drug are linked even with cancer.

Research on links between dexamethasone and bleeding after tonsillectomies

More and more kids are subjected to tonsillectomies. The number of surgeries in children younger than 15 years old has increased obviously.
After tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy children may have vomiting and nausea. Thus, health care providers prescribe using corticosteroids during surgeries in order to lower these post-operation negative consequences.
Unluckily, while corticosteroids decrease risks/severity linked with nausea and vomiting, they are associated with certain other troubles. They may produce bleeding during and after tonsillectomies. Recent studies have manifested that the number of complications after tonsillectomies has increased during several last years. Since number of tonsillectomies becomes higher, complications appear more frequently as well.
Certain scientists decided to define whether bleeding occurs after tonsillectomies on account of corticosteroids. They tried to find out whether there is any substantial difference in appearing of bleeding between kids that administer the corticosteroid dexamethasone during tonsillectomies and those that are not given this preparation. So, the specialists enrolled more than 300 kids in the trial.
Results of the trial have manifested that bleeding of the levels I and II are enhanced by 5% in those that apply a single quantity of dexamethasone during tonsillectomy.
So, corticosteroids don’t increase the risk linked with post-operation bleeding substantially. However physicians doubt about safety of corticosteroids used during tonsillectomies, they don’t enhance severe bleeding events essentially.
