The Russians used to secretly drug their top athletes, which I once saw a documentary on. There was a woman who had been on steroids since a young girl, her physique had been totally distroyed so she decided to continue her life as a guy, really sad.

One bad side effect of steroids is that the increased concentration in the body/blood stream suppresses the normal production in the body and those endocrine tissues may be adversely affected. One potential side effect is testicular atrophy. :rolleyes:

thats quite easily prevented or reversed with gonadotropins.
