The steroids left my whole body shaking.  Crying out for food.  I couldn’t think straight.  They don’t just make your muscles big they fuck your head up.  Rise of the Foot Soldier 2007 ***** starring Ricci Harnett & Terry Stone & Craig Fairbrass & Roland Manookian & Billy Murray & Frank Harper & Neil Maskell & Dave Legeno & Kieran Bew & Jason Maza Coralie Rose& et al, director Julian Gilbey, Carlton Leach’s commentary

I couldn’t go in a ring knowing that I’ve taken steroids because then I know I would have known a cheat ... I’ve never taken any anabolic steroids.  Nigel Benn

 

 

Report to the Commissioner of Baseball of an Independent Investigation into the Illegal Use of Steroids and Other Performance Enhancing Substances by Players in Major League Baseball.  George Mitchell, December 2007

 

 

Everybody that I know in the game of baseball uses the same stuff I use.  Mark McGwire

 

 

The only reason I took steroids was for my health purposes.  I did not take steroids to get any gain for any strength purposes.  Mark McGwire

 

 

Performance-enhancing drugs are an illusion.  I wish I had never gotten involved with steroids.  It was wrong.  It was stupid.  Mark McGwire

 

 

The steroids I did were on a very, very low dosage.  I didn’t want to take a lot of that.  I didn’t want to look like Arnold Schwartzenegger or Lou Ferrigno.  Mark McGwire

 

 

‘I’m still a gangster.’  American Underworld: Homemade Illegal Drugs, Mr Big, Discovery 2013

 

Steroids were first manufactured to treat illness and promote healing.  But they can also promote muscle mass.  ibid. 

 

Guys cooking up steroids in home labs all across the country.  ibid.

 

 

Canseco and others had transformed their bodies by taking heavy doses of anabolic steroids.  Ken Burns, Baseball: The Tenth Inning I, PBS 2010

 

Professional baseball players were free to take whatever they wanted.  ibid. 

 

 

Steroid-inflated home run records had replaced day to day heroics.  Ken Burns, Baseball: The Tenth Inning III

 

 

The game’s steroid problems hit the front pages and airwaves once again.  Ken Burns, Baseball: Tenth Inning IV  

 

Bonds testified that he had taken steroids inadvertently.  ibid.

 

Bonds had become the symbol of the steroids era.  Barry Bonds finished 2007 with 762 career home runs.  ibid.

 

Although 89 players were named, the most sensational section of the report was devoted to allegations of extensive doping by the most successful pitcher of the last fifteen years, Roger Clemens.  ibid.

 

Some of the greatest stars in the game would also be exposed.  ibid.

 

 

I’ve just been handed a piece of paper here that if it’s right it’ll be the most dramatic story out of these Olympics or perhaps any others. Desmond Lynum, BBC presenter, re Ben Johnson

 

 

Sooner or later your ability to succeed on natural talent runs out when you run against the chemical barrier.  The question became do you take drugs and try to win, or do you content yourself with losing for ever by staying away from them?  Charlie Francis, Ben Johnson’s coach

 

 

The urine sample of Ben Johnson, Canada, Athletics 100 metre, collected on Saturday 24th September 1988, was found to contain the metabolic of a banned substance namely Stanozolol.  Olympic doping committee televised announcement

 

 

In 1988 Ben Johnson failed a drug test at the Olympic games in Seoul.  Just forty-eight hours earlier he had set a new world record in the 100m, won the gold medal and defeated his arch-rival Carl Lewis.  In the years after Seoul six of the eight finalists have been implicated in some form of controversy involving performance-enhancing drugs.  And Johnson has long believed he was the fall-guy in a sport where steroid use was endemic.  The Race that Shocked the World, BBC 2012

 

1984 Los Angeles: No athlete was going for greater glory than Carl Lewis.  ibid.

 

Not only had results gone missing, but there was now a new substance on the scene: it wasn’t detectable at all.  ibid.

 

Johnson needed to increase his speed endurance to compete with Lewis.  ibid.

 

The drugs took twenty-eight days to clear the body.  And with no out-of-competition testing, avoiding a positive test required nothing more than looking at a calendar.  ibid.

 

Zurich 1986: for the first time in nine races Carl Lewis had been beaten by Ben Johnson.  ibid.

 

Rome 1987 World Championships: 9.83 seconds.  ibid.

 

Just four months before the Olympics Johnson pulled a hamstring.  ibid.

 

Four weeks before the Olympics, Lewis and Johnson locked horns again in Zurich.  ibid.

 

At the 1988 US Olympic trials Carl Lewis tested positive for three banned stimulants.  This was not made public.  ibid.

 

 

On a sunlit September afternoon in 1988 Ben Johnson stepped up to his blocks for the most important race of his life: the Olympic 100m final.  Johnson symbolized the Canadian dream, the shy immigrant from Jamaica whose genius was discovered on the frozen running tracks of Canada.  Johnson ran on time but he also ran on a lie: for years he had used steroids to boost his performance.  And in 46 strides he guaranteed himself sporting immortality by running faster than any man in history.  Two days later Johnson was at the centre of the biggest scandal in the modern Olympiad.  Reputations s8e3: Ben Johnson: Lost Seoul, BBC 2001

 

[Charlie] Francis made an important discovery: performance enhancing drugs were a fundamental part of their [East Germany] success.  ibid.     

 

Carl Lewis: he was quicker and smarter.  ibid.

 

[George] Astaphan gave Johnson a new steroid, a veterinary product designed to boost an animals’ body.  ibid.  

 

‘This is evil that’s being exposed.’  ibid.  Ron Pickering

 

The more he denied, the bigger the lie became.  ibid.

 

 

Found guilty of taking illegal steroids, Johnson was stripped of his gold medal.  Faster Higher Stronger – Stories of the Olympic Games I, BBC 2012

 

 

East German women dominated throughout the eighties ... A state-sponsored programme had been supplying athletes with performance enhancing steroids.  Faster Higher Stronger – Stories of the Olympic Games IV

 

 

Well, when I think of steroids I think of an image.  You have the advantage over someone, which is a form of cheating.  I guess it wouldn’t be right unless it was legal for everybody.  Reason it’s not legal for everybody is because it can hurt people seriously.  Evander Holyfield

 

 

Anabolic steroids were not banned until after the ’72 Olympics.  Bill Toomey

 

 

Steroids can seem necessary to compete at the highest levels, and the quick rewards can outweigh the long term consequences to the user’s health.  Howard Berman

 

 

There are guys in the game only because of steroids.  They couldn’t make it with their natural talent, so they had to enhance themselves.  It sucks.  David Wells
