I was literally rolling the floor laughing when Jimmy started beating his girlfriend and said he was gonna kill her if she broke up with him. That was great. And Cartman trying to act retarded was great to.

Take a look at this old article from January at the New York Times. Requires site registration (free).

Definately worth a look for what steroid abuse did to East German women, many of whom are now men.

I might take Androstendione (SP?) From what Ive heard its ok because it is basically testosterone minus a hydrogen atom. When it goes into your body your liver adds the extra hydrogen atom. This way your body regulates how much testosterone is being added.


Its basically a step down from a steroid.

heavy steroids make some female body builders' clitorises grow outward like a male penis over time. no lie...it's crazy...

This is weird. I am doing a research paper on steroids. They cause liver and kidney failure, shrunken testicales. In males, larger boobs, reduced sperm count, increased prostate cancer isk, in fertility, increased sex drive( oh yeah :cool: )feminizing effects due to the estrogen. females clitoris becomes enlarged, shrunken breats, smaller uterus, deeper voice, facial hair, baldness, irregular menstrual cycle, acne. In teenagers, a quicken adulthood, premature baldness, stunted growth( would be taller if no steroids), short and fat when adult, a "muscular trap". It can also cause injuries b/c the tendons and ligaments dont catch up wuth the rapid growth of the muscles. They damage immune systems, atrtiery probelms, death, liver damage. It can cause strokes and heart attacks, paralization, and other career ending problems. During a withdrawl it can cause suicide thoughts, odd behavior, loos of appetite, joint pains, and there is always an increased rick of HIV/AIDS, not just during a withdrawl. I never even thought about steroids, and now I dont even want to think about them. And one other thing, they can cost you winds. After a competition they may do a drug screening, they find steroids and they take it away. Your career will be over.
