    Nah we know pretty well that for a top athlete taking PEDs, at least in strength sport, means a rough 10% increase in performance. People that talk about what PEDs do haven't looked at just how 'naturally roided' top athletes already are. A lot of the very vocal US athletes that say that they don't use drugs unlike the 'shifty chinese' and 'cheating russians' wouldn't be able to compete even with PEDs.

    Like the whole "Oh the chinese and russians are only outcompeting us because of steroids" is a massive cope that it warps peoples view on what PEDs do.

      Yeah, I'm not even talking about performance, that is a muscle density problem, which PEDs only do so much for. Generally speaking I am talking about body-building, where basically everybody is on PED's but their muscle to strength ratio is usually crap. As Zazz used to say, it's about the aesthetic, not the lift.
