    Only the other person can do that.

    I offered my take for two reasons: trying be more active on Lemmy and because that comment had me learning something new today.

    Reading that the top Womens tennis player couldn’t beat a man that is not even in the top 200 sounded fishy to me and I was surprised when I learned that is true.

    Relearned also something today, I can’t tell what other people think,.speacilly on social media and shouldn’t try to guess what that is.

    I went and looked it up and both sisters did lose by a large margin against the man ranked 204th, back I “the battle of the sexes” in 1998.

    I guess their point is that the gap between pro and amateur is as big as the gap between professional men and women, in Tennis at least.










  • I agree with you that the stigma around them is not a net positive. Adults should be able to use tools available, in a safe way and if they don’t harm others in the process. Legalizing their use would also minimize problems from illegal trade.

    Thanks for the info on the PCT, was not aware. The examples I read were extreme, were the person had been using for years and in high doses so they were effectively dependent on them.


  • Im gonna ask you. What exactly is the problem with that?

    One example of a problem is the fact that the majority of them do not openly talk about it. In fact it’s the opposite, they deny taking PEDs and claim it’s all hard work and that anybody can achieve it.

    A more specific example is Chris Hemsworth who sells training programs that claim to give you his physique. Don’t you see the problem with this?

    I do agree with you that it if people want to use it they should, under medical supervision and with full understanding of the risks and commitment they bring. My limited understanding of using exogenous hormones is that your body will lose the ability to properly make them and one is bound to taking them for life.
