So all the athletes prior to 15-20 years ago were able to do whatever it took to kick ass and perform in sports?

I think it's silly. Taking steroids does not in and of itself make you bigger and stronger. You have to train your ass off and eat correctly and dedicate yourself to your sport to do that.

I could take steroids AND eat right AND work my ass off in the gym. But even if I did all of that I would still never be able to outswim Michael Phelps, or outwrestle Brock Lesnar, or play baseball better than Barry Bonds, or throw a football better than Dan Marino.

Some people are just genetically gifted to do certain things. Steroids would make them even better.

Hell, they don't even let our military guys take them!?!?!? WTF!?!?!? If I were in charge of the military it would be a goddamn requirement. The U.S. would have a muscled up, testosterone charged military that would kick some serious ass in battle.
I agree somewhat with that all. In the perfect world. However as much as I am pro steroids. I know how easy they are to abuse them and give them to people to give them that extra edge, well that's just dangerous. Sorry but if I was a woman and my husband joined the military, I would not want steroids to be easily accessible for my husband to overdose on. It can lead to major organ failures/problems. There is a reason they were banned, not because they are dangerous when used correctly, how easy they are to abuse.
