Drug of the future


Any athlete has thought about how their competitive life would be if they took steroids. It's ok don't be ashamed Andre Allen, I've thought about it as well.. how could I not? I'm a baseball player and all the men that have excelled in the sport I play are somehow being accused of taking steroids. Whether these accusations are true are not I think is irrelevant because for every single player who is caught there is several that get away with it. And for some reason America forgets all the skill it takes to hit a round baseball with a round bat squarely, no pill can turn a pud into a stud despite what they say on Good Morning America.
I'm currently reading a pretty good book, its called Juiced, written by Jose Conseco (a damn good ballplayer even before the pill poppin). In the beginning of his novel he explains how steroids are the drug of the future and they can better society in so many ways. Not only will they improve strength and physical appearance but they can improve overall health as well. I'm not saying he got me sold but I can gauruntee that there are thousands of young adults, and maybe even teenagers that have made steroids apart of lives because of what this man gauruntees. Now I've seen the new astris commercials as I've seen the truth and the amusing little live above the influence commercials and I honestly don't see those commercials making a difference. My only hope is that as an athlete with a possible professional future I don't miss out because of something I refused to take a long time ago.
