Give me a case of Zimas and some boner pills and I’ll show you performance enhancement. I swear to God I will

I don't believe steroid use is this rampant lol.. there may be some outliers, but there is no way it's more than 1%. Unless mom and dad are buying it for them, or they are getting it from their local gym dealer, I feel it would be too costly/hard to get.

I was going to say "Struggles to spell" for the Buckeyes. You all continuously spelling a 4 letter word an entire athletic event is relatively comical. Fantastic topic lol That offends me

Mr. Doyel is back, with a spot on commentary about the Pacers humiliating loss to the Knicks last night: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2024/05/15/knicks-are-disintegrating-but-pacers-disappear-in-nba-playoff-game-5/73692830007/ The more I watch these NBA playoff games the more I am convinced they are rigged. And by the players nonetheless.

A PLACE AT THE TABLE!

I should add that my son plays for one of the best college football teams in the USA!!! 🐐 🐐 🐐

OMG!!! This is a big problem in College football!!! 😡 My son told me that a lot of the boys on his team last fall were using performance enhancing drugs!!! 💪 Someone told the Athletic Director and he decided to drug test the team! 👏 👏 👏 But then one of the upperclassmen found out about it! He was the best defensive player on my son's team, a big strong linebacker!!! 💪 💪 💪 The night before the drug tests, this upperclassman had the other players on the team do something called an oil change!! My son wouldn't tell me what that means, but he said it helps you pass a drug test even if you've been using drugs!!! 😱 The team must have passed the drug tests because no one got in any trouble!!! 🙈 🙉 🙊

I’d be willing to bet that most kids are referring to creatine and weight gainers. When asking kids if they use anything to enhance their appearance that leaves a lot to interpretation. “12% of boys reported using products to enhance appearance, muscle mass or strength” vs “12% of boys reported using steroids” would have been more in line with the clickbait headline. The author clearly doesn’t know the difference. And he refers to “one study” for his data set. A quick peek at his LinkedIn says he has “research experience”. This article might be the full extent of that experience. This is the actual cited reference from the article “According to a 2016 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the prevalence of PED use among high school athletes in the United States ranged from 2.7% to 4.0%, depending on the specific sport.6 Another study found that 8% of girls and 12% of boys used products to improve appearance, muscle mass, or strength, and 3.3% of high school students admitted to using steroids.7 “3.3% of high school athletes admitted to using steroids” is the actual number. This is the cited study: Dandoy C, Gereige RS. Performance-enhancing drugs. Pediatr Rev. Jun 2012;33(6):265-71; quiz 271-2. doi:10.1542/pir.33-6-265 It’s from 2012. Not sure that it qualifies as “still a major issue”. Why did I waste my time going down this rabbit hole? I must be bored out of my skull this morning.

If Speedway refuses to travel to Lutheran for JV games, what are the odds they'd entertain trips to Linton?
