flex wheeler interview

Steroids have risks - anyone who believes otherwise is a fool. We can minimize the risks as much as possible, but they remain

so true, life is risky. i will never use test measured in grams instead of MGs like flex. smokers know that it is killing them and what do they get out of it they stink and their teeth turn brown. at least we look good and our risk is much smaller than theirs, yet the government lines their pockets with tabacco $ while the demonize gear, prohormones and ephedra

I DONT THINK FLEX IS BRINGING DOWN BB.HE JUST WANTS EVERY ONE TO KNOW THAT STEROIDS CAN BE HARMFUL IN CERTAIN PEOPLE . PEOPLE ALL REACT DIFFERENT TO DIFFERENT DRUGS,

Every time there's a physical problem with a pro bodybuilder, do we see a huge article in a newspaper? Not quite. I'm glad Flex told the truth, but EVERY bodybuilder knows what this type of article does for the sport. And Don't they love the sport they competed in for decades? I wonder if he called the newspaper and wanted to give them the story. I'm sure he had his reasons, and more power to him. You know, a newspaper would NEVER do an article on a bodybuilder unless it was nagative and steroid-related. Yes, we know that we often play with fire and that is our own choices. I think that most bodybuilders, pro or amateur, just "bite the bullet" and deal with whatever problems are dealt to them rather than giving the media more ammo to put down bodybuilding.

This is all about media.

Media morons pick their favorite sports that they can easily identify with and relate to. Guys like the ignorant black dude (Blain?) that used to write for The New York Times by copying his articles from the internet decide over the beer at the bar how to portray sportsmen. Bodybuilding is on the end of their favorites.

There are so many sports that are far more dangerous and a lot more deadly then Bodybuilding yet don't get bad publicity - quite an opposite, they are still being glorified as romantic quests of human kind.

How many Himalayan climbers or car racers have died, yet nobody is trying to put down these sports? Nobody is trying to ban them?

Just got back from the Anabolex board and they are REALLY lambasting Flex for agreeing to be interviewed for this article. Can't say I blame them!
