As I wrote earlier, compare your traps development when it was at its peak to that of someone on steroids. Night and day.
Sorry, but that is beyond stupid. If all athletes start using steroids legally, openly and in quantity, then guys like you will become desensitized to their performance because they will all be that much more similar. It's all relative. On the other hand, if no one was allowed to take such drugs and they were properly and constantly tested for it, then the really gifted athlete would still get the best contracts. I think that comments like yours are outrageous and may well mark the beginning of the end of true sportsmanship. Steroids and the like are cancers that, if left unabated, may eventually destroy the beauty of sports.
Yes, it's all about your entertainment, however warped your entertainment requirements may become. (Remember Rollerball?)
It IS cheating because it is not allowed. It is not allowed because it gives the stupid money-grubbing, health-be-damned risk taker a short-cut advantage. The short-cut advantage has nothing to do with discipline or training that is SUPPOSED to be synonymous with sports and sportsmanship. It has everything to do with greed and a disregard for one's health. And that leads to the rest of your post with which I agree entirely. Steroid use in sports is the moral and legal equivalent of insider trading in the financial markets.
Thatâs a very interesting observation. I too have noticed the âtrapâ. Also, the angular jaws/chins and facial structures in general, on a neck with the same girth as their head is a dead giveaway.
all hell is breaking loose with our economy and these idiots want to blather on about roger clemens? give me a break... they should be grilling goldman sachs and illegal naked shorters and media complicity. mortgage fraud and the federal reserve's crimes should dominate their focus. but we get roger clemens and britney spears' meltdown. you people deserve the hell that is coming. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ETQj3a221EQ&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ETQj3a221EQ&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
I understand what you two are saying, but I still go to the traps to draw my conclusions. We can all spot the obvious user since we need not bother with the individual trees because the forest speaks for itself. However, for all muscle groups aside from the traps, the challenge is in determing the point of demarcation. How do you decide borderline cases? With traps, there is almost no judgment call required. Anyone with even remotely puffed up and well-defined traps is likely a user. Period. Even the guy who just started using anabolic steroids and has not yet had a consequential increase to his musculature almost invariably already has puffed up and well-defined traps.
