Steroids. Who is Using them? More people than you think!

Testosterone. Growth Hormone. Insulin. Insulin Like Growth Factor. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). Thyroid Hormone, Gamma Hydroxybutyric Acid (GHB). Clenbuterol. Aldactone, Lasix (diuretics).

This is just a short list of the drugs that characterize the bodybuilding and fitness industry, as well as professional athletes and celebrities.

More people are using these drugs than you think

People at the very top of their professions use drugs just like the people who are at the entry level looking to get their foot in the door. From MVP baseball players like Alex Rodriguez, to 5 time olympic gold medalist Marion Jones, to iconic Hollywood celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, all have admitted using some sort of drug. (makes you wonder if anyone at the top can do it without some ‘help’)

Without a doubt, more people use them than you think. It becomes obvious on top level bodybuilders – but it’s not so obvious when a pro athlete uses something for recovery, or when a celebrity uses something to redefine their look for an upcoming role.

The legal status of these drugs does not deter any of these people from using them for their obvious performance enhancing and physique enhancing benefits.

They simply do what it takes to achieve the level of condition/performance that their given industry requires. It’s not a moral decision, it’s not a decision about integrity. It’s about staying competitive in their chosen fields.

In today’s podcast, I talk to our industry insider about the world of performance and physique enhancing drugs. We’ll get the lay of the land as it is today and discuss just how pervasive drug use is in each of these industries.

Black and Grey Market Drugs

The market for supplements and drugs isn’t as black and white as you might think. There is also a significant ‘grey’

Steroids

At some point these items weren’t on the black market.

market of items that are not yet categorized as legal or illegal. In many cases a new and controversial supplement may technically be part of the grey market until it gains a working legal definition.

If you’ve been actively taking or trying supplements for the past 10 years you may very well have taken something that used to be part of the legitimate market and now exists on the grey market or even the black market now.

Many items go through a life cycle from the legitimate market to the grey market and end up in the black market.

The markets themselves are determined by political ideology and pressure and have little to do with the quality or inherent or perceived danger of the items in question.

We’ll look into the history of the black market for performance enhancing drugs and examine how a drug or supplement can start out as a legitimate market item and end up on the black market.

When you look at it from this standpoint you have to consider that being on an illegal drug is more a matter of a moment in time and a geographical location vs doing something that is universally right or wrong as the media would portray it.
