Objective Steroid Research

August 24, 2005 11:15 AM

There was a recent article in the Los Angeles Weekly about current sports hysteria about steroids. http://www.laweekly.com/ink/05/36/features-kotler.php Does anyone have any insight about sites or journals where one can find objective info/personal experiences about steroids?

See this article from Outside Magazine: 'Everybody knows that many athletes cheat by using performance-enhancing drugs like steroids, testosterone, and EPO. But what is it like to take these banned substances? Do they really help you win? To find out, we sent an amateur cyclist into the back rooms of sports medicine, where he just said yes to the most controversial chemicals in sports.'

Testosterone Magazine.

These guys are crude and silly and sometimes forget to stay on topic.

They are also serious about health and fitness, not necessarily with or without steroids. Lots of articles, lots of common sense, lots of experience. Excellent resource. Long time fan of this community. Be prepared to read alot, sometimes it can get pretty technical... but then, any time you screw with your body you kinda should look into the technical...

This Malcolm Gladwell article is also good reading, though not directly related to your question.
