yeah thats my understanding as well, might be so.

They may get more relaxed, maybe in the 5-10 year period that you
suggest. In the last few weeks two well known bodybuilders have been
arrested, I know one has a 9 count charge regarding distribution,
smuggling, etc. to contend with. The other busted for dealing. There
has been talk about other pros getting arrested or being interviewed
by law enforcement.

It will be interesting to see what comes about.

> Steroids aren't responsible for the distended bellies. If you look
at bodybuilders from the 60s-80s none of them had guts and they were
all using steroids. It's the long term high dosages of
GH/IGF-1/Insulin that causes the bloated guts.

restrictions will get more lax and some say that steroids will become
uncontrolled in 5-10 years. Society today wants to see performance so
naturally the drugs have to come with it. If there was ever a
hardcore ban on performance enhancing drugs you can say goodbye to
bigger, stronger, and faster athletes as well as harder tackles and
more home runs.
