I agree with him to a certain extent. It’s much harder to put in some serious work than to inject yourself or take a pill. You could put up a good argument that two people training the same exact way, one using steroids, one not, the one using steroids will have a competitive edge. I do believe one day it’s going to be nearly impossible to get away with using any steroids due to awareness and diagnostic testing. You would most likely have to start in high school, which many do, unless they’re testing for it earlier now. I’m not sure about that.
The biggest deterrent to me are the long term side effects. Anabolic steroids are horrible for your body. I would say the majority of anabolic steroid users don’t think about the consequences. And if they do think about it, a lot of them are already balls deep into their professional careers and they’re stuck with a tough choice.
For me there’s also a sense of pride in knowing I’ve been able to reach certain goals and look good without steroid use. Just a lot of hard work with diet and training. I don’t judge anyone who does though. Just be very careful and know what you’re doing to your body long term.
