would you take P.E.D.'s if you could make millions as an athlete?

[brainhulk]

in honor of Lance Armstrong poll

 

[TallBill]

Yes. Duh

 

[tcsenter]

Hell, forget millions. I would take PEDs if they were legal and reasonably affordable. There is little risk to, say, controlled anabolic steroid use guided by a knowledgeable physician or other clinical scientist (e.g. biochemist). Its the fucking ignorant roiders who take the shit with reckless abandon (i.e. outright abuse it) that constitutes most or all the risk studies.

 

[Reasonable Doubt]

P.E.D.'s are probably what gave Lance Armstrong testicular cancer.

Addendum to my prior post: Pretty much like LSD. I've taken LSD about a dozen times, but I was always a little bit scared of all drugs. When everyone else was taking one hit, I was quietly cutting my blotter in half and then testing out how it would affect me. If after an hour, I was not on the verge of losing control, I would take the other half. I would never take more on the same night, even if I had it. And I never had a bad trip!

However, there were couple persons I encountered who were like "If one hit is great, imagine how taking four will be!" The rest of us would say, "No man, don't do that, please. Srsly, don't fucking do that?" And they'd fucking do it anyway, and then end-up in the ER with LSD psychosis. Or it would ruin half the night as we were trying to keep the guy from freaking out or jumping in front of cars.

All the "bad" shit you hear from PEDs are from the personality types like the aforementioned "Four hits must be 400% better!" guy. Fucking idiot.

4 hits at once? Pretty intense. 2 hits at once, sure. 1 hit followed by 2 more hits 12 hours later, sure. But 4 at once? Never got that brave, myself.

 

[RaistlinZ]

Sure, why not? If you get caught it's not like you have to give all the money back.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Yes. Duh

This x(infinity)

 

[CPA]

yes, and it's stupid to ban them.

 

[Mixolydian]

Of course. What a stupid question.

 

[veri745]

I think a better question would be, if you were making $5 million/year as a professional athlete, would you take steroids so you could make $10 million/year instead.

Of course I would do it in order to make 500x my current salary.

 

[xanis]

Yep.

 

[Ruptga]

I'd do practically anything for millions of dollars. Why is this even a question?

Depends on the strength, and tolerance you've built up. Physical count in relation to acid is virtually meaningless.

 

[mmntech]

If this were a case of me taking 'roids as I am now, I wouldn't. I lack any sort of athletic skill so all it would do is bulk me up. They're not a replacement for skill. If I was some minor league athlete and it was the difference between wallowing in obscurity or hitting the big times, I'd certainly give it consideration.

 

[SheHateMe]

No.

Not worth it.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Yes.

Not sure why you wouldn't. Of course the definitinon of PEDs is pretty broad.

 

[amdhunter]

Hell yeah I would. What's the drawback? Huge body and a few inches lost on the penis? Man, I have plenty of inches to spare, so I'd do it in a heartbeat.

 

[Staples]

They should be allowed anyway. If everyone is competing on an even playing field, I don't see a problem, as long as you compare current records with past as unfair.

 

[Anubis]

yes

next question

 

[Slew Foot]

Hell yeah.

 

[Baked]

Yes. Everyone's doing it. The smart ones just don't test positive.

 

[BlackTigers]

Without a doubt.
