What's this?

Coming from a former athlete who fought the gene thing

it amazes me how flippant any fan base can be about a young man just "working and eating" to suddenly become a superstar.

You can lift and eat supplements till the cows come home but if God made your frame thin and your metabolism high you will not play any sport at a desired muscle content just because you really, really, really want to.

Steroids will build un-natural muscle and you will pay for it the rest of your life (or sooner) with torn ligaments and organ damage.
