any as far as cheating, etc..... do you consider all performance enhancing products cheating then? there is that grey area of creatine, beta alanine, etc.... that obviously boost performance. am i cheating for using those? its not natural for me to drink a workout recovery drink containing hydrolyzed whey, waxy maize starch, BCAAs, creatine, and EAA. it gives me a huge advantage over someone who doesnt use those products. everybody uses performance enhancers to some degree.

Hazy boundaries aren't they

The substances you mention can boast performance by maybe 5% cumulatively (although its neigh on hard to measure), but steroids boast performance and recovery much more (I'm not going to guess a %).

I agree though, everyone at some point will try a performance enhancer.

Part of me sometimes thinks I would like to atleast try something to aid in my recovery, but

1) I'm cheap
2) I don't know enough about steroids to work out what to do with them with minimal side effects
3) I don't like the idea of playing about with my hormonal system
4) I'd probably get tested at some stage
