Testosterone precursors et al... sure.
He's probably a hyper-aggressive, hyper-competitive personality already and wouldn't notice. The effect of this crap on athletes: Not really any stronger, not any more real endurance, just the artificially induced aggresssiveness to make you drive harder, faster, to the point of breaking. (I took some once when I was in my gym-rat phase... gave me a tension-related stiff neck) That's where the steroids come in, pain relief from the damage caused by over... over... everything-ing your body to win. After all, it's ALL about 'winning', all else be damnned! Now ask me what I think the odds are of that surreptitious doping actually occurring... Leigh http://leighm.net/
