My honest opinion...RISK VERSUS REWARD. There is not enough reward
in bodybuilding to risk playing around with steroids, GH, etc.
There may be a half a dozen bodybuilders on the circuit today that
are considered "Wealthy". Everyone else is just scraping by. Now
if I was Barry Bonds or any other wealthy professional
athlete...would I consider...sure I would. Again, risk versus
reward.

Personally, I have never used any illegal substances...not to say I
wasn't close. In my earl 20's, I considered it...luckily it was too
expensive and I could not afford it...which also gave me more time
to think about how dumb I was to consider taking steroids. There
are so many things to consider when a person thinks about taking
these illegal subtances...Your health, career(whatever that may be),
family, last but not least YOUR HEAD. I have seen one to many guys
lose it because of the ups and downs that happens physically when
taking steroids. Mentally, moset people can't deal with that.

One thing to consider for the natural athlete that decides they want
to "try it"...think about this...Most of the people that I have
known to have tried it and seen the immediate benefits of it...1)
They stay on..or..2) They stop training completely because they got
spoiled with the easy gains. Food for thought...
