Now thats insulting.

I think steriods should be an open subject. Personally ive been tempted to try them at times. If i didnt hear so much negativity about it i proly would have. I think its a good thing to discuss the usage or non-usage of it. personally i think its cheating and it illegal. I feel if you absolutly have to use them, that may be saying something about your own confedence.

Steroids are a big problem in every sport. It is not just confined to Armwrestling. There will be testing in Japan at the World Championship this year. I believe that if given a choice most armwrestlers will choose not to use steroids. That is the point about having discussions so that uninformed pullers may leard from more experienced pullers. I agree with Kurt that if it get out of hand it should be deleted. This Board is to keep armwrestlers informed about every aspect of our sport and sorry to say that Steroids is a subject that needs to be discussed.
