Why are sports nutrition stores’ clerks caught selling steroids easily?

Sports nutrition shops offer for sale not only true dietary supplements. They market steroidal substances as nutrition supplements and offer them for sale. But authorities put efforts to control and prevent distribution of steroids as if they were just supplements. That’s why clerks of sports nutrition stores offer steroids for sale illegally. Those that come to such stores are frequently informed that they may buy steroids as well.
 But these factors are known not only by consumers of steroids but also by police officers. So, police officers conduct undercover investigations in order to bust sports nutrition shops that sell steroids. Clerks should understand that if a client desires to get steroids, arranging a deal outside the store, he must be an undercover police officer. That’s why those who are involved in illicit operations connected with sale of steroids should be quite careful to avoid legal troubles. However they know about these factors, they make typical mistakes that lead to arrests, charges and jail.
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 dietary supplements. When police officers were informed about illicit actions of this man, they began to conduct an investigation. The investigation lasted about a month and was led by The Walpole Police Department.
An undercover agent came to the store often and purchased dietary supplements. He was talking to the clerk quite frequently. Thus, a friendly relation was formed. Finally they discussed about anabolic steroids. The undercover officer said that he would like to purchase anabolic steroids. Thus, he agreed to obtain two vials of steroids from George Touma. The agent had to pay $300 for the drugs. The deal was arranged outside the shop. After the purchase had taken place police officers detained the clerk.
As a result, the clerk of the GNC was charged with illegal possession and sale of steroids.

Famous tennis players: more drug testing should take place

Significant changes occurred in some types of sports after the USADA published its dossier on Lance Armstrong. The legendary American cyclist was using steroids and other related medications throughout the entire cycling career but he never tested positive for any banned substance. He utilized several efficacious 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. So, they must be altered. Otherwise, competitions will not be fair. We’ll never see real sports stars.
These aspects influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Certain sports organizations stated that anti-doping programs should be altered in order to catch those that use steroids and/or other related products.
Not only anti-doping officers but also athletes claim that anti-doping programs must be altered. Certain sportspeople want to be sure that their sport is clean. For example, some tennis players believe that more drug testing should take place in tennis. It is necessary to notice that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, consider that anti-doping policy is not quite efficacious in tennis. They argue 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 promote cleaning tennis of dopers.
The Swiss tennis player Roger Federer also confirmed that more tests for banned substances should take place 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 be conducted. While tennis players are always tested during competitions, they are not tested often while being not in competitions.

Patrick Jonker: doping is serious problem in cycling

The USADA has released a dossier on the prominent cyclist Lance Armstrong.
Which impression do people get, when they read this report? It is said that a lot of persons think that every teammate of this prominent cyclist has applied steroids and/or other related preparations. But is it true opinion? Has each Lance Armstrong’s teammate doped?
According to the report on this athlete, 11 teammates testified against him, claiming that he doped. Furthermore, it was confirmed that Lance Armstrong and the most mates of his team used sophisticated methods in order to be able to dope and prevent detection.
However some Lance Armstrong’s teammates admitted to taking steroids and/or other related preparations, some teammates denied doping. For example, Julian Dean and Patrick Jonker were two teammates of the celebrated cyclist that denied administering performance-enhancing drugs.
Julian Dean said that he neither doped, nor saw Lance Armstrong applying anabolic steroids and/or other related medications.
When it comes to Patrick Jonker, his affirmations were like those of Julian Dean. He confirmed that he had never applied any banned preparations. He stated that he competed cleanly and didn’t take any unfair advantage.
According to Patrick Jonker, application of anabolic steroids and other related remedies is a serious problem in their sport. He thinks that a lot of cyclists dope. He considers that it is necessary to fight against intake of doping products in cycling. But he claims that appropriate methods should be used by anti-doping officers. This athlete is full of indignation, talking about prosecution related to Lance Armstrong.  Patrick Jonker affirms that murderers are less prosecuted than the celebrated cyclist.

Steroids don’t influence on performance of tennis players

Andy Murray, a British tennis player confirms that tennis is not tainted by intake of steroids and other related drugs. He confirms that usage of doping products doesn’t represent any problem in this sport. He claims that tennis is relatively clean. If you compare this sport to others, you can assure that it is free from doping, according to Andy Murray. But the tennis player understands that this sport is not completely clean. This man acknowledges that several tennis players administer prohibited remedies as well.
If you take cycling as an example, you may notice that it is associated with allegations regarding doping by the famous cyclist Lance Armstrong. Cycling commentators and reporters put efforts to display that doping reigns in other sports too. So, they put efforts to direct attentions of people from cycling to others sports. They confirm that intake of steroids and other related medicines is a problem not just 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 performance-enhancing drugs don’t have any significant role in tennis. This athlete mentions about differences between tennis and cycling.
According to the tennis player, while steroids and other related preparations benefit in cycling evidentially, these remedies can’t cause any significant changes in tennis players. This athlete believes that while strength which is required in cycling can be enhanced by doping, the skills which are required in tennis can’t be perfected by steroids and other doping products.
In fact, similar arguments are utilized in other sports too. Baseball and basketball players also state that steroids don’t represent any obvious problem in their sports because these drugs don’t have capacity to enhance performance in their sports.
But it is impossible to doubt about efficacy of steroids on performance of any athlete. Since these drugs are capable to enhance strength, speed and endurance, they have significant role in tennis and other sports.

Alexander Lukashenko intends to criminalize usage of banned substances in sports

The president of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko is also the president of the National Olympic Committee. He was very distressed after the Belarusian shot-putter Nadzeya Ostapchuk tested positive for a forbidden medicine. The president was too frustrated. Alexander Lukashenko turned out to be a serious fan of sports. He was ashamed that representatives of his country spoiled Belarusian’s sports reputation by positives for prohibited products. As a result, he noted that several changes would be added to laws.
Alexander Lukashenko confirmed that it was needed to criminalize intake of prohibited preparations in sports. So, sports will be probably clean. This statement was pronounced by the Belarusian president after Nadzeya Ostapchuk was caught administering methenolone. This preparation is also known as Primobolan.
The president of Belarusia desires to see that his country succeeds in sports on the international scene. If the Belarusian president wants to clean his country’s sports, he will be able to do it. Certain facts manifest that this person has achieved many goals connected with his country.
Actually, Alexander Lukashenko is a strict president. He was even accused of rights’ violation. He is able to change the situation in sports by force as well.
Alexander Lukashenko doesn’t intend to talk about usage of forbidden substances in sports. There are other things which should be discussed, according to Alexander Lukashenko.
Anatoliy Tozik, the Vice-President for Alexander Lukashenko, affirmed that they could establish a sports scientific center that would be sponsored by the state. The center would conduct scientific studies related to mental and pharmacological support for top athletes. The Belarusian president agreed to form this center.
It is not yet clear whether Alexander Lukashenko will clean sports at any cost. Will he abuse his force for this need?

David Howman is happy with ITF’s anti-doping policy

David Howman expresses his opinion about point of view about anti-doping programs in several sports organizations. While the director general of the WADA seems to be happy with jobs of certain sports organizations, he says that anti-doping programs in other leagues/teams are not appropriate.
For example, David Howman praises the International Tennis Federation (ITF) for its anti-doping program. The director general of the WADA affirms that anti-doping program is suitable in tennis.
But as for the National Basketball Association (NBA), it doesn’t agree to adopt its anti-doping policy 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 substances. That’s why David Howman states that the anti-doping system of the NBA is not good enough to detect those that dope. He states that the NBA should add more complicated new methods as well.
The director general of the WADA affirms that drug tests conducted in tennis are of high quality. But there is a defect in tennis’ anti-doping policy. Many tests are conducted 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 say that anti-doping system 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 totally. Some tennis players are likely to use steroids and/or related products. But it is not as tainted, as certain other sports.
 Just one tennis player was suspended for usage of banned products. Although it seems to prove that tennis is clean, it is important to consider that there are certain methods to avoid detection. As you probably know, the cyclist Lance Armstrong applied steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs and avoided detection much time. Couldn’t tennis players act the same way?

Lance Armstrong’s doping led to great loss for his charity organization

The USADA released a dossier linked with doping by the well-known American cyclist Lance Armstrong. According to the dossier, this sportsperson administered steroids and other related medicines. After publishing several sponsors that donated for Lance Armstrong’s charity organization Livestrong decided to cut their relations with this sportsman and his charity organization.
One of companies that decided to stop sponsoring the organization which fights against cancer is Nike. This company was working much time with the cyclist. Finally 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 discontinue sponsoring Lance Armstrong’s foundation.
However, the athlete tried to do anything in order to prevent negative influence of his athletic reputation on the organization that helps individuals that suffer from cancer to survive. He affirmed that he would not be the chairman of the organization anymore. However the cyclist tried to keep sponsors, he couldn’t do it.
As for the USADA, it concluded that Lance Armstrong was found guilty of doping. As a result, he received lifetime ban. Furthermore, he forfeited all 7 titles obtained at Tour de France.
But the International Cycling Union (ICU) affirmed that the USADA made a wrong decision. Although Lance Armstrong stopped fighting against accusations pronounced by the USADA, the ICU said that it would appeal the decision even without involvement of the athlete.
Although Lance Armstrong never tested positive for any prohibited medicine, it was concluded that he was guilty of doping. It was confirmed that he took steroids and other prohibited medicines but he used certain simple as well sophisticated methods in order to avoid positives. Thus, he was capable to dope and remain undetectable.
Now Lance Armstrong pays for his doping. The decision of some companies to stop sponsoring his foundation is a great loss for this man.

David Howman: anti-doping policy is not suitable in NBA

The director general of the WADA David Howman notes that the National Basketball Association (NBA) anti-doping program is not good enough to catch those that administer banned preparations. He states that drug testing conducted in the NBA is not appropriate. While the NFL and the MLB agreed to accept additional tests, the NBA didn’t agree to do the same things.
Derrick Rose, a former basketball player, also said that numerous NBA players took steroids and other doping products. This sport is tainted, according to Derrick Rose. It is believed that David Howman’s point of view connected with administration of steroids in the NBA is resulted from words pronounced by Derrick Rose.
The NBA doesn’t desire to adopt its anti-doping program to that of the WADA. The NBA officers note that steroids and other related preparations don’t have ability to influence on games and make them unfair. They consider that only natural abilities and workouts play role in the NBA. According to NBA officers, steroids and other doping products can’t enhance performance of basketball players. They notice that doping products don’t benefit this sport.
Do NBA officers have a right opinion? Aren’t steroids and other related medications able to increase performance of those that play basketball? What do facts display? What do scientific journals affirm about effects of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs?
Actually, everybody knows that steroids and some other preparations benefit in any sport. They just should be administered appropriately and accompanied by suitable meal and workouts. These products play great role in sports. It is impossible to contest efficacy of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in basketball. Affirmations of NBA officers are ridiculous.
Of course, any sport organization likes to consider that their sport is clean. Nevertheless, it is necessary to see the reality. That’s why the director general of the WADA confirms that it is important to conduct more and more sophisticated drug testing in order to catch those that apply banned preparations.

Philadelphia police officer masterminded illicit sale of steroids

Illicit sale of anabolic steroids prospers. However authorities put efforts to prevent illegal production, sale, possession and application of anabolic steroids, several policemen are also involved in such illicit operations. Furthermore, as it is obvious, some police officers mastermind illegal operations related to anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
The former Philadelphia police officer Keith Gidelson was found guilty of illegal distribution of steroids and certain other medicines, such as HGH, IGF-1, anti-estrogen medications, etc. The preparations that were sold by this police officer were marketed as Sciroxx drugs.
Keith Gidelson turned out to be the leader of a steroid ring. Thus, he was not selling anabolic steroids alone. He was collaborating with several other persons, including his wife and two other police officers.
Those that desired to buy steroids contacted the Philadelphia police officer per internet. Thus, customers ordered needed steroids or/and other doping products. Then these medications were shipped to the clients.
When orders arrived, Keith Gidelson informed his clients per handy. He called them or sent messages. That’s why it was easy to bust this illegal steroid ring. Keith Gidelson 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 anabolic steroids, as Testosterone Enanthate, Trenbolone Enanthate, Nandrolone Decanoate, etc. were offered for sale by the Philadelphia police officer and his co-conspirators. These medications were imported from China and Europe. Then they were sold to those who ordered them per internet.  
The Philadelphia police officer will be sentenced in January 2013.

Violation of traffic laws while having anabolic steroids in car

Some bodybuilders are caught possessing anabolic steroids and other illegal drugs because they make some mistakes while possessing these drugs. For example, a bodybuilder intends to use performance-enhancing drugs. He finds a trustworthy online pharmacy and orders some preparations. Then he pays for these drugs. The medications are shipped. The bodybuilder comes to a post office and takes the package which contains the medicines that have been ordered by him. It seems to him that everything is successful. The package has not been intercepted. The products have not been seized. This man takes the drugs and goes home.
Of course, this man can’t wait until he arrives home to begin his cycle with these medicines. He wants to be at home, apply the products and look in the mirror and see wanted results. Thinking about potential benefits and improvement of appearance, this bodybuilder begins to violate traffic rules. He exceeds speed because he desires to be at home sooner. Furthermore, this person 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 man has a suspended driver’s license. They search the vehicle. So, they find that this man possesses steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. This person gets legitimate troubles. His dreams don’t become real. He gets troubles instead of desired results.
 Let take Michael Vazquez of Kenmore (New York) as an example. This person had a suspended driver’s license while violating traffic rules and possessing steroids. Thus, he got legal problems. Since he violated some 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 he possessed steroids, needles and syringes.
So, if you possess steroids and/or other related preparations while driving your car, don’t make common mistakes! Avoid violating traffic rules! Avoid driving with a suspended driver’s license! So, you can avoid legitimate troubles.

Steroids are sold illegally at Indian pharmacies and supplement stores

Distribution and intake of steroids without a physician’s prescription are considered to be illicit in India. But illicit sale and application of steroids and other related medicines prosper in this state. Numerous sportspersons buy these preparations at drug stores and supplement stores and use them in order to increase muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s athletes tested positive for banned drugs at the 2012 Summer Olympics, attention of authorities was drawn to drug stores and supplement stores. Local police officers decided to search pharmacies and supplement stores regularly in order to control illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. After several raids certain drug stores and supplement stores lost their business licenses.
Lately law enforcement officers searched a pharmacy and two supplement stores located in the southern part of India.
The Parola Pharmacy located in Valancherry was searched by law enforcement officers. As it was defined, steroids and other related medicines were sold at this pharmacy illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were identified 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 searched. Police officers defined that Methandienone, Equipose, Testosterone Undecanoate and some other steroids were offered for sale at this supplement store. Thus, it was shut down too.
Another supplement store that was searched was the AM Nutrition store. But it was not prosecuted because no any steroids were sold at the store.
Law enforcement officers plan to continue raids. Some drug stores and supplement stores may lose their licenses for illegal sale of steroids and other related medications.

Tommy john surgery and enhancement of performance

High school athletes do a lot in order to enhance their muscles and improve performance. While several sportspersons put efforts to enhance speed, baseball players try to increase throwing speed.
What do high school athletes actually do for this purpose? You probably know that a lot of sportspeople use anabolic steroids in order to add muscles and enhance performance. But administration of steroids and other related preparations is not the only way that seems to be efficacious for several athletic goals. Some high school athletes desire to have the operation ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction which is also called Tommy John surgery.
Actually, high school athletes don’t know about certain aspects related to Tommy John surgery. They base their points of view on the case connected with the baseball player Tommy John who received UCL damage during a baseball game. After the damage he was very disappointed. He thought that didn’t have any chance more to play baseball professionally. This man consulted the surgeon Frank Jobe. The health care provider operated this baseball player successfully. After the surgery the baseball player came back to baseball. Tommy John’s further career was quite successful. He won many games. Thus, this operation was named after this man: Tommy John surgery.
When high school athletes find out about Tommy John, they want to become as good players, as he was. They suggest that the surgery induced winning because the baseball player won more games after the operation than before. However high school athletes may suggest appropriately, they have certain wrong conceptions about this operation. They believe that they may be operated in absence of any damage and enhance their performance. But high school athletes don’t take into account that no one can return to playing baseball soon after such surgery. Certain period of time is needed to get recovery. Furthermore, it is important to consider that several risks related to Tommy John surgery. They may experience permanently stiff elbow. Certain other risks are also linked with this operation.
So, high school athletes don’t understand the essence of this surgery correctly. When they have elbow pains, they visit their doctors, trying to convince them they need to be subjected to Tommy John surgery.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mother-in-law troubled because bodybuilder took steroids

Maria Shriver didn’t get pregnant during the first three years of her marriage to the well-known American bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger. Her mother was troubled by the situation. Since the bodybuilder took steroids, she feared that these medicines 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 described probable negative effects of steroids, including infertility.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said that he found this report on the desk of his wife occasionally. Thus, he read it. He laughed much. He claimed that his mother-in-law was out of control.
But the bodybuilder’s mother-in-law was in 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 obvious that steroids didn’t have any negative influence on reproductive system of this person.
Do steroids produce infertility in male consumers? These drugs suppress natural production of the hormone testosterone. That’s why men that administer these drugs may get infertility. But it is necessary to note that this side effect is not irreversible. When males discontinue using steroids, their natural secretion of testosterone is restored. So, this undesirable effect disappears.  
The autobiography published by Arnold Schwarzenegger describes certain interesting aspects linked with steroids. This well-known bodybuilder took steroids during his competitive career. Anabolic steroids helped him to succeed. Usage of these medications was not banned in professional bodybuilding, when Arnold Schwarzenegger competed.

War on steroids

Timothy Armstrong of the World Health Organization claims that anabolic steroids are dangerous for public health. While these products are frequently used by athletes, bodybuilders and ordinary people for increase of muscles and energy, they may have negative impact on physical and mental health of users. Unfortunately, dangers related to these drugs are not attended seriously. Although many specialists warn that these products may lead to dangerous undesirable effects, many individuals continue to administer them for performance-enhancing effects.
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 administration of steroids.
When it comes to Arne Ljungqvist, he put efforts in order to fight against intake of steroids in sports. According to this person, administration of steroids represents a moral problem. Those that administer performance-enhancing don’t compete fairly. They have unfair advantage over those who don’t apply these medicines. Thus, they act improperly.
Of course, Arne Ljungqvist is happy that Timothy Armstrong is also against intake of steroids. He confirms that anti-doping agencies should work with the World Health Organization more closely. The united efforts will be able to eradicate application of performance-enhancing drugs from professional sports.
Timothy Armstrong affirms that anti-doping agencies should have direct links with law enforcements and customs officers. If they work together, their war on illegal deals linked with steroids and other controlled substances will be more successful. They should inform each other about individuals that have something to do with illegal medicines. Thus, they will have ability to achieve their goals.

Are steroids responsible for murder?

Audrey Allen, an 18-month old baby, was killed by Joshua Allen Kruzik.
The baby was murdered because she cried in the middle of the night. Joshua Allen Kruzik, an US marine, a friend of Audrey Allen’s parents, came to them to spend weekends at their friends’ home. Before he came to their place, he was at a local bar where he consumed much alcohol. He had to care about the little girl, when she cried. But Joshua Allen Kruzik beat the little girl too brutally. As a result, the little girl got numerous severe head injuries. The baby died at a local hospital.
David Kohn, the defense attorney for Joshua Allen Kruzik, claimed that steroids were responsible for the aggression of his client. It was stated that Joshua Allen Kruzik administered anabolic steroids. Before the incident he attempted to stop administering these medicines but he was not capable to do it. David Kohn confirmed that anabolic steroids produced “roid rage” in Joshua Allen Kruzik. He couldn’t not control his behavior and beat the little girl. According to David Kohn, Kruzik was unconscious. Although David Kohn claimed that Kruzik was ready to assume the entire responsibility, he added that he was not guilty.
The little girl’s parents also testified that their friend administered anabolic steroids. The mother of the child confirmed that she possessed syringes at her home. So, she injected Kruzik with steroids, when he came. Several other persons also affirmed that he applied steroids.
It is strange that anabolic steroids are demonized in this case. Are these preparations responsible for the murder? Consider that Joshua Allen Kruzik has been drunk, when he has murdered the baby!
It is not clear whether this defense strategy will work.

Appropriate nutrition and workouts should accompany usage of steroids

However natural bodybuilders attempt to prove that they can be as muscular as consumers of steroids, they fail to do it. Even those who have correct diets and hard workouts can’t acquire the same muscle mass and endurance like consumers of steroids. Gains that can be acquired because of appropriate intake of steroids and other related medicines are much greater than those which are acquired naturally.
But you should know that steroids and other doping products can’t increase muscle mass and strength, if consumers don’t have intensive workouts and appropriate nutrition. However steroids can promote gaining muscles and energy, it is not sufficient just to use these medicines. Steroid users must not be lazy individuals. Otherwise, they will fail to acquire desired effects. If consumers of steroids don’t train intensively during usage of doping products, they may get additional problems instead of positive effects.
Those that are going to take steroids in order to add muscles and enhance endurance should plan their workouts and diets. It is important to train intensively. Nevertheless, it is necessary to consider 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 suitably.
Moreover, it is required to plan which kinds of exercises should be performed. Your heart should work suitably, if you want to increase your muscles with steroids. That’s why cardio exercises should take place 3-4 hours weekly.
Another factor that should be considered is nutrition. Muscles can be enhanced, if sufficient protein is consumed. Steroids and other related drugs can’t enhance muscles and add endurance without usual physiological processes. Remember that steroids don’t act magically! They act through stimulation of natural processes which occur in the body.
If you want to enhance your muscle mass and energy with steroids, you should study and follow several guidelines connected with nutrition that are useful under such circumstances.

Arnold Schwarzenegger acknowledged that he hadn’t known about risks linked with steroid use

Arnold Schwarzenegger administered anabolic steroids. These products helped him to have success. The bodybuilder acknowledged that he succeeded because of these preparations significantly. But he also noted that other competitive bodybuilders administered these drugs too. The bodybuilder was aware of the fact that all elite athletes and bodybuilders administered anabolic steroids. If Arnold Schwarzenegger had not administered doping products, other bodybuilders would have had unfair advantage over him.
Although the well-known bodybuilder admitted to application of steroids, he never apologized. Usage of these preparations was not forbidden, when Arnold Schwarzenegger competed. Usage of steroids and other related medications didn’t represent any problem in bodybuilding during that time.
Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed that he didn’t know about risks linked with intake of these preparations. But he also added that earlier bodybuilders didn’t take high measures like current bodybuilders.  That’s why it was not dangerous to use these products.
Nowadays it is necessary to take into account that sportspeople and bodybuilders apply very enhanced measures that may have negative impact on health. Administration of high dosages normally causes dangerous irreversible undesirable results. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger is against administration of steroids for athletic needs. Dosages that were taken by the celebrated bodybuilder were lower by 20 times than those applied by current bodybuilders. That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger cooperated with International Federation of Bodybuilders against application of doping products in professional bodybuilding.

Non-clinical usage of HGH is dangerous

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) has been initially developed for therapeutic purposes. This medication is recommended to treat kids with growth disorders and adults that suffer from deficiency of growth hormone and associated health problems. But this product is frequently abused. A lot of weightlifters and other athletes apply this medicine for athletic needs. Under laws of certain countries, including the USA, purchase and intake of this product for non-medical needs are claimed to be illicit.
Although this product is illicit without any prescription, it is not difficult to obtain it. HGH is widely available at online drug stored. Furthermore, steroid dealers sell this drug. Since it doesn’t cost much, many sportspersons have possibility to buy it.
Those that take HGH illegally abuse also other preparations. They are not limited only by illegal usage of this medicine. Which medications are also abused by consumers of HGH?
Some specialists decided to conduct a study connected with illicit administration of HGH. They enrolled 230 weightlifters aged 18-40 into the research. The experts could learn 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 applied recreational drugs, such as cocaine, ecstasy, etc.
Which dangers are faced by those who take increased doses of HGH long period of time? Unfortunately, undesirable results resulted from increased doses of this product are not studied sufficiently because physicians usually don’t prescribe high measures.  Enhanced dosages are commonly administered by those who take this drug for performance-enhancing effects. But it is known that administration of high dosages during long period of time may result in severe negative consequences. This drug may negatively influence on various systems, including endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular, etc. It is necessary to be very cautious because increased measures of this medicine are linked even with cancer.

Single dosage of dexamethasone used during tonsillectomies may lead to post-op bleeding

More and more kids are subjected to tonsillectomies. The number of operations in kids younger than 15 years old has increased substantially.
After tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy children may experience vomiting and nausea. Thus, health care providers indicate using corticosteroids during surgeries in order to lower these post-operation negative results.
Unfortunately, while corticosteroids minimize risks/severity linked with nausea and vomiting, they are associated with some other dangers. They may lead to bleeding during and after tonsillectomies. Some studies have manifested that the number of complications after tonsillectomies has increased during several last years. Since number of tonsillectomies becomes higher, complications occur more often too.
Several scientists decided to determine whether bleeding occurs after tonsillectomies on account of corticosteroids. They attempted to find out whether there is any substantial difference in occurring of bleeding between kids who apply the corticosteroid dexamethasone during tonsillectomies and those that don’t receive this remedy. So, the scientists enrolled more than 300 kids in the research.
Results of the research have showed that bleeding of the levels I and II are enhanced by 5% in those who use a single dosage of dexamethasone during tonsillectomy.
Thus, corticosteroids don’t maximize the risk linked with post-operation bleeding significantly. However doctors doubt about safety of corticosteroids used during tonsillectomies, they don’t increase severe bleeding events obviously.
