If you were looking for a single phrase guaranteed to deter men from taking anabolic steroids "testicles the size of peanuts" would appear to fit the bill. This significant shrinkage was suffered by the body builder Steve Michalik after prolonged misuse of these drugs. Steve found himself in early middle age, having already suffered a heart attack and a stroke, with "the testosterone level of a 12-year-old girl" alongside the Lilliputian reproductive equipment; and whereas miniaturisation on this scale in, say, a chocolate bar might be called fun size Steve was clearly finding his low testosterone/shrunken gonad combo anything but fun..........

Unfortunately Brian it hasn't deterred many bodybuilding types I knew. They were well aware of the side effects and were willing to live with them, or thought they could avoid them, and when they couldn't they'd just go into denial. I'd imagine that it'd be much easier for a cyclist who's using much lower and safer dosages for recovery to rationalize it. Bill C

Here's an interview with Michalik. The debate within bodybuilding is apparently much more out in the open, with juice advocates openly arguiung for it. Michalik has become a vocal opponent. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson66.htm
