I was chatting to a good guy who has been giving me some training advice from time to time and most of it has made good sense. I knew he did a bit of weight training in his youth as well as cycling at a good level. Long story short, during a recent conversation, he told me that he has been taking a combination of tablets and injections for years, although it's now at a much reduced rate to what it was in his youth. His rationale for taking it is that men lose natural stores of steroid as they get older and it's simply, topping up what we used to call natural levels when we were younger. I politely rejected his kind offer, but it did leave me wondering how wide spread the use of steroids amongst amateur athletes and guys of a certain age actually is. I also wondered if this was something anyone else had come across and if anyone was brave enough to be honest about it?
