Actually, you are wrong. Mack Beggs is taking testosterone — a naturally occurring hormone in both males and females (though still banned from usage in athletic competition). Testosterone has been prescribed by medical doctors as a safe and necessary pharmaceutical for many patients. Anabolic steroids are an entirely different thing. Not only are anabolic steroids ILLEGAL to use (or to possess, sell, transport, etc.) under ANY circumstance by ANY individual worldwide, its SOLE purpose is to enhance athletic performance. There is no other value whatsoever. Just trying to set the record straight.
