I can say, that if I had worked hard to get myself in a position where I could actually earn a living as a professional bodybuilder (and have mortgages, car payments, etc.), and was making money from endorsements, knowing how the general public perceives steroids, I'd LIE LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER ABOUT USING THEM. Why would I shoot myself in the foot, and jeopardize what I'd worked for?

Now, I might lose respect from some, but I'm not responsible for how others feel.
