Being a doctor, I guess if he needed any "enhancement" medications, this would not be a problem, but I make NO accusations.
Nothing wrong with some GH and Testosterone. Keeps a man healthy and vibrant. Not everyone wants to get old and fat and frail. Giving men over 40 anabolics is no different than giving post menopausal women estrogen compounds. Restoring hormal levels to youthful levels is a good thing, not a bad thing.
Whatever.....:
I believe it is against the law to prescribe steroids for bulk muscle development, and that is what I was referring to. You do realize my entire comment was a jest? I am realizing that people here are so damn literal minded at times. Maybe this is NOT the place to joke around, and if so, I apologize. My comments were not to be interpreted as my political stand on male hormone replacement!?!?!
Obviously you were joking around. I'm not offended. I've heard far worse leveled at a sport that I follow and participate in, which is no big deal in and of itself. I'm no cry baby, but I do find it ironic that people get offended by people teasing them about one thing, then then they turn around and tease other people about something else.
UfO believers get bent out of shape when people laugh at them for being nuts because they feel the general public doesn't know anything about it, and are woefully uniformed. You were doing the same thing, but just applying onto another subject. I am extremely knowledeable about the subject of performance enhancing drugs and strength sports, so when I see people pass on misconceptions I often point it out. Just like people here point of misconceptions about the paranormal when they see them. The idea being that the more you educate people, the more your own personal pet causes will be accepted by the world at large. For some, its UFOS, gay rights, global warming, etc. For me it's the FDAs screwed up regulation of the drug and suppliment industry.
I'm all for the freedom to mock people at will, I just cracks me up when people think they can decide what is, and is on, off limits for someone else, be it sexual preferance, race, gender, religous beliefs etc.
I see it all the time, especially here. "How dare you mock me for my beliefs in weird shit that the rest of the world laughs at.. but those stupid Christians are something else..." or "Wow I had this weird supernatural experience, let me tell you about.. but no way am I crazy like that other guy is!"
By all means, feel free to laugh at bodybuilders, and I will feel free to laugh at "believers"
