I would never endorse doping, but I will say this. Many believe that dopers are taking a short-cut. Nothing could be further from the truth. Dopers work as hard, or even harder than guys that are clean. They simply get greater gains from that work. Guys that take 'roids actually lift and work HARDER, because the juice allows you to work harder and recover more quickly, allowing you to continue to work even more. Lance Armstrong trained as hard or harder than his competitors, and because of that he beat other dopers. For doping to help you, you have to be pretty good at what you do in the first place. PEDs aren't magic - for them to benefit you, you have to put in the work.
