The enemy ¹1 - Anabolic Steroids

A small digression. Interestingly, in the early 60-ies of the last century doctors prescribed Methandrostenolone simply to raise the tone - even women! Bodybuilding magazines of the time were full of recommendations on the use of certain pharmacological agents - well, a hair's breadth the same way as is happening with various additives such as Creatine and Glutamine.

The use of doping in sport was not considered something immoral, unethical, it was only after the ban a number of drugs. Interesting fact - the athlete is considered "naturals", if it takes not prohibited pharmacological preparations. Once this drug falls under the ban, the athlete immediately from the "naturals" category is translated into the category of "chemists". Funny attitude, do not you ?! But back to our "sheep". By the early to mid 80's fight against doping in sport has evolved from a crusade enthusiastic individuals in a very profitable business, in which many thousands of people were employed. These professionals have received and receive still very considerable salary - who voluntarily free up space "under the sun"? 

Well established in the beginning of this century, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has gone so far as to shamelessly imposing tribute to the various federations and National Olympic Committees (by the way, the biggest "sponsor" WADA is the NOC of the same United States), and threatening them with excommunication from the Olympics the case of disobedience. Given the fact that WADA no their laboratories or their experts, it is unclear where the money goes from this legalized racket. More precisely, it is clear where ... Again, go back to the mid-eighties. Somehow by itself it turned out that because of the diversity of doping agents quickly allocated Androgens and Anabolic Steroids, and the main effort "guardians of the purity of the sport" were sent to fight it with them. In 1984, on the shelves of book stores USA appeared the creation of a Bob Goldman, "Death in the locker room." Distortion, distortion of facts in this book had everything but the truth. Yes, the truth-and did not need - by performing a certain social order. You can also like Phenotropil pills

Why did it happen? Why, in general, harmless products were declared a sort of "universal evil"? A significant role is played by the desire of sports nutrition manufacturers to knock off the market hitherto invincible competitor - because no-brainer that any sports supplements can never be a full replacement quite effective pharmacological drugs. The grains of this desire became the fertile soil - were found in the US congressmen and senators who wish to make to the fight against this terrible "monster" capital. If not financial (which is not excluded), then certainly, at least, political. The result is known - first in the US, and then in some other countries, laws have been passed, effectively putting anabolic steroids on par with the ... substance! Thus, from legal trade, these are often very useful drugs were simply removed.
