My question on the drug issue is this: during my sport law class in grad school a lawyer came in and started a debate. It was pretty much the premise that under the constant guidance of a doctor steroids can be safely taken (just the extreme effects would not occur as if they were taken in some of the same ways today, but in more slighter slower increases due to slower doses would help get someone to a higher level) should they be legalized, to possibly make thier use safer and since some are taking them. That aside what is to keep a lifter who decides to weightlift start taking these steroids under the supervision of a doctor but never compete, get themselves to a high total, then once they achieve that to go off the steroids and start to compete clean from that point on just adhereing to really slow gains on top of thier already tremendous strength?
