Are there other coaches out there as worried as I am about steroids growing use. It just seems they are so easy to get now a days. I mean heck you can them on line. Isn't it a Federal offense to use the mail system. Check out the website that I found www.paperbolix.com . It is quite disturbing. And then you have designer steroids that are sold at your local supplement store (Superdrol, Haladrol, etc.). I know that these examples have been taken off the market but what is next?

From the website:
*Tablets and injectables will be re-sent in case of seizure. Seizure is highly unlikely in most countries; the countries with the higher seizure rates are: Canada, U.S., Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Norway, Sweeden.
**We can package the items discreetly in a way that makes seizure unlikely and/or we can send to your exact specification.
Holy crap!
These guys are basically admitting that this is illegal!

The State of Florida recently became the second state to approve random drug testing for steroids for high school students. The program will commence with the upcoming fall season. Related article - www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/sfl-spprepsteroids05may05,1,1808894.story?ctrack=1&cset=true

Its scary, but I think that we gotta know our kids. If you know your kids well, you'll see the signs. If a kid goes from benching 185 to 315 in a 2 month span, you should suspect something. If a kid who hasn't worked out all summer comes to camp huge, you should probably inquire a bit. I think that you could pick out your own kids who might be using. Have open conversations with them about these types of products and what they may be taking.

"If a kid who hasn't worked out all summer comes to camp huge, you should probably inquire a bit" It dosen't matter what you take if you don't workout.
It sounds sad but I almost wish I had to worry about this. I have a hard time convincing them that lifting is beneficial to athletic performance. So worrying about steroids is not my main concern.
