Help me understand something about steroids........

TheWolf · Dec 14, 2007

I was reading the Mitchell Report today. A lot of players in there said they took steroids or HGH to help "Recover" or "heal" from injuries.

It has always been my knowledge that taking steroids can lead to injuries.

In fact, I've known a few guys who took steroids and ended up blowing out ther knees & tearing their ACL's.

I lot of the guys named in this report are frequent visitors to the DL also.....so I have to believe that the steroids led to a lot of these injuries. Am I wrong here or am I missing somehting? I'd like to hear from any of you steroid experts.

HGH has some pretty bad side effects also I believe.

If you spend enough time doing research on the subject, you'll find that with the right dosage, many anabolics are actually beneficial to joints and muscles.

Abuse of anything can lead to illness and injury and I would think most steroid related injuries occur when people are using them correctly.
