Part of all the speculation has to do with the jealousy of reporters and onlookers. You have a lot of frustrated weekend warriors, part time athletes, who do not understand why some people look a certain way, and then can do certain things, while others cannot, then possibly may never be able to do. Some of us get it all the time while in the gym when we bench heavy, squat, or do something that others aren't able to do. The first question that is asked is, what are you taking?
It makes some of these guys feel better, if they think that someone is doing something that they are not. It can't possibly be effort and knowledge,
Athletes and people who work out, aren't really intelligent beings.
Hard work and being smart, then allowing for complete recovery is always the best method of training, but this is not to say that PED's do not give you an edge, and then are not in use by some athletes.
Believe it or not, there is plenty ignorance abound in regard to what PED's are, due to the misinformation that is put out there by professional sports, and what they consider illegal. Certain sleep aids are considered PED's, as well as some over the counter cold medicines that feature herbal properties that might enhance recovery.
It doesn't help that some of the makers of supplemental products do stupid stuff by actually adding in PED's into their product in order to generate hype for their product.
So you have an athlete hearing good things about a certain protein powder, testing it out, then finding out later that he's tested positive for a banned substance. Now, the athlete has to live the rest of his career defending himself for making an honest mistake, doing something to make himself a better and more productive athlete.
I consider myself an athlete who is in his later years. In order for me to compete on any level I must train, recover, practice, then play, recover, then do all the things necessary to make sure that I do recover, like not participating in excesses, such as drinking too much, and then drug abuse. I like the ladies, but I try and get adequate rest so that I can recover, getting the GH release during the REM phase of sleep.
It works, but if you burn the candle at both ends, as what most professional athletes do, they must look for an advantage, help, in order to get out there the next day.
However, the negative side effects of using steroids, especially for hoops, outweigh the positive. You start to get overuse injuries, as the tendons do not recover as well as the muscles themselves. With GH use, bones tend to become more fragile over time, not being able to withstand impact, as it is not the body that is producing the GH, coming from the Pituitary gland, with it coming from an outside source, your own natural production of the hormones, both testosterone and GH, tend to shut down, not protecting the body, helping it to recover when needed.
I must admit, if there is ever something that could help an athlete recover after games, without some nasty side effects, it should be allowed. It would go further, being better if it could actually help those who get concussions, as recovery is essential in regard to that sort of injury as well.
