Yes, but if you take an aspirin then there is something "wrong" that your are trying to make right. Unless you have a low test count there is nothing broken your are trying to fix when using aas. I'm not saying it's cheating or anything else...I'm saying it's an unfair comparison. You spike a high enough fever you can die...
Here is my thing...if your believe in your heart that steroids are a choice that people can make and they shouldn't be judged for that then let that be the case. There is no point in comparing apples to oranges and trying to paint aas as something it is not. That, in my mind, is simply a defensive justification. There is nothing similar about asprin, protein, and aas.
It is what it is. Why pretend otherwise? Just because I take a headache pill or a fever reducer once in a while I'm not going to say, "hey, I may as well take steroids. In for a penny in for a pound
"
But yes, steroids save lives all the time. Especially corticosteroids.
I think my whole point, though, was that both sides tend to be a little loud and turn it into a moral issue. It's pointless.
