And not a single positive test? Doubtful.

His name is Braun. He doesn't need steroids.

In fact, there was a positive test. Probably because he forgot to take his estrogen.

Based on definition, cholesterol is also a steroid.

When it comes to testosterone just because you are taking it from outside sources doesn't mean you are trying to gain an advantage. There are legitimate reasons and uses for testosterone/trt.

This is very different from steroids like danabol.

Athletes no longer directly inject testosterone, they usually inject drugs that increase testosterone production because testosterone is the performance enhancer. However the standard old fashioned test for anabolics is the testosterone/estrogen ratio, when it's out of whack that's an indication that someone's juicing up. Hence juicers use masking agents to put more estrogen in the system, to hide the increased T production. (That's what got Manny Ramirez in trouble, they found out that he was taking a female fertility drug, whose only purpose for a male would be to mask the T levels.)

I just can not take this seriously. There are legitimate reasons for steroid use too. However if you are a professional athlete you better ****ing not get caught using steroids and you better believe that if you get caught with excess testosterone you are going to be suspended for a long damned time (unless you are Ryan Braun and the arbitrator is on the take)

Danabol mimics testosterone in the human body by binding to the same receptors and promoting the same biological processes. They are, in fact, not very different.

Unless he gets suspended again the deal is a huge bargain.
