This Week In Steroids
When I think of a nation of teenaged girls, ’roided up to the gills, kicking soccer balls at superhuman velocity, I know the Roger Clemens prosecution was worth every last penny.
Whether you call it “testosterone” or “HGH” or “a heat-extracting glove that alters the body’s core temperature without harmful side effects,” it all adds up to the same thing: Steroids. Don’t fool yourself.

Until next time, steroid watchers! Remember, moderation in pursuit of steroid justice is no virtue!
