Dude.. I feel for the parents but i am sorry.... More people die from smokin and shit each year so why not put a site up about that u know.... steroids didnt directly kill him... he didnt do them properly and he hit a crash... he was the one that killed himself, not the juice... people need to worry more about other hard core, mind altering drugs....

[Double]

yea i agree...its the painkillers and all those new drugs that kill...health teachers and professionals even say that steroids in moderate uses can be good for u as well as beneficial

[O2BESOHUGE]

i read about people dying from painkillers a hell of a lot more than i ever hear anything about people dying from steroid abuse.

[rkhard79]

[SMILEY FACE]

i think its hard to say that steroids caused his death. he committed suicide. yes, its possible that coming off AS may have increased his depression, but i would be hesistant to say that AS alone lead him to take his life, or had a significant part in it. i think more information is needed.

there are too many unknowns. was he every depressed before taking AS? any other mental health issues? problems with girlfriend? family? or just high school in general. high school alone has led many people to take their own life and the lives of others, but we dont hear people suggestings to get rid of high school. obviously, the high school example is a little extreme, but i think its important to note that there are a lot of outside influences that could have lead to his suicide.

in all likelyhood it was probably a combination of many different things (probably even AS to a degree), but to single out one of those factors and blame the death solely on that factor will only lead to misleading the public.

just my $0.02

one more thing. its incidents like these and the "AS in baseball" hype that is going around that makes people afraid to talk about AS and do research about the effects of AS. its seems taboo to talk about AS in public and very little research has been conducted over the last 50 years about the effects of AS.

people will continue to use AS. and unfortunately people will also abuse AS because of a lack of information and doctor supervision. what we really need is more research.

so if anyone from the media is reading this...stop scaring the public with misleading information and encourage them and the medical community to fund/conduct more research on the effects of AS.

if he was in high school, he shouldnt of been juicing to begin with.
