When Are We Going to Wake Up?by Kathy Roberts Lifetime Drugfree World Champion Powerlifter May 2000

It’s
a sad story, but there are many people in the world today claiming to be
drug free. These people are not only fooling you, but also young
children. I don’t understand how people can be so naïve about this
issue. The question you might ask yourself is, "How do you know for
sure that someone is on drugs?" Sometimes it’s very obvious as
steroid use can cause very outwardly visible side effects. Some of these
include severe acne, and trembling, baldness, development of breasts in
men, growth of facial hair, male-pattern baldness, and a deepened voice
in women. It can also cause an otherwise calm individual to have
unexplained anger outbreaks and "roid" rages. Sometimes we don’t
know about their use until someone dies or maybe they test positive for
GHB or steroids. Sometimes we may never know. The other interesting bit
of information is the way these people refer to their drugs. They often
call their poison, "supplements". Don’t be fooled by this
term. When most people here the word "supplements", we often
think it’s a vitamin or something we can get over the counter. They
also refer to steroids as, "sauce", "juice", or
plain old "roids". I’m sure there are many other names. The
bottom line here is don’t be naïve.
The bottom line is that these people are not only lying to themselves, but to their families, friends, and others. Some of these family members never find out until they get a call from the morgue. The sad part about it all is that the children are being corrupted by all the hype surrounding various athletes and sport stars. These children are our future and they are getting the message from their so-called "role models". No!, it’s not okay to do drugs. No it’s not okay to use Andro or any other type of steroid. The bottom line is, you’ll never use it just once. Don’t start and you’ll never have a problem. What will the world be like in another few years? I believe that we have enough problems and issues as it is. Why bring any unnecessary problems to the forefront? We need to find a way to get rid of all the drug use. We need to stop the drug dealing and come clean. We are supposed to be in a sport for our health, to become the best that we can be, to become the best in the world in specific sports, or to win medals, to display our natural abilities. Why are so many people using drugs? I believe that it stems from low self-esteem, not believing in one’s self, not being genetically inclined, or maybe to get bigger and stronger, easier and faster. Unfortunately, today we live in an instant world. There is an instant answer, an instant fix to any problem that you can imagine. The problem here is that we act so quickly that we often neglect to think about the consequences. We need to take good |
care of our children, love them, and teach them good self-esteem so that
they can love themselves for who they are. We need to lead them in the
right direction, teach them to think before they act, and act responsibly.
Teach them that they can do anything that they set their minds to, and
you’d be surprised what they can actually do.
Over the years I’ve been contacted by a few web sites that wanted to exchange reciprocal links. When I visit their site to check it out, I’ve noticed either directly on their site or on the links page, various sections promoting drugs, andro, and various types of performance enhancers. These individuals contacted me and said that our sites would be good for each other. My question is, "How?, I think not." I will not allow myself to be used by any one of these people. As long as I can control it, I will not let it happen. I’ve also noticed that these same individuals search around being very sneaky by sending messages to individuals linked to my page, asking them to exchange links and using my name to try and close the deal. This is the way these people work deceitful, sneaky lies. If we want our children to grow up with healthy minds and healthy bodies, we have to stop these deceitful hypocrites. We know that people will do anything to gain public recognition in promoting and selling illegal enhancers. Drug promoters are looking for a new arena. These people are a menace to society. Honesty and integrity are very hard to find and it continues to worsen as time goes by. There are consequences to everyone's actions, whether you think you can be caught or not. There will be consequences. It’s a shame when someone can easily walk into the gym and purchase drugs. They often get these drugs from some doctors, pharmacists, gym owners and patrons, some coaches, or even from their peers. I wrote a couple of articles that relate to the rampant drug problems and two of these articles can be found on my web site. One of these articles is titled "Why Do They Continue to Lie." I must say that this article has turned a lot of heads. Please take some time to read it. To access the article, visit my web page at www.giftofstrength.com and look for the link to the article toward the middle of the page. After writing a couple of the articles in 1999, a few months later a few of these individuals died. Who would have known? To me, it’s sad because if someone would have been a true friend or partner and spoken out about the negative aspects of their drug use, maybe they’d be alive today. Don’t wait until it is too late. We need to open our eyes and realize that we are not invincible, that if we make bad decisions, we will have to pay the consequences. How many more will have to die before we finally get the message? Stand up against steroids, against drugs today! Be a positive influence on someone you love. |
