Pro Wrestling and Steroids

what is wrong with taking steroids when you are in pro wrestling? Pro Wrestling isn't a sport it is a scripted drama that revvolves around a fake sport. If they were legal then they can hire experts that know how to administer steroids properly and know if there are negative side effects because it won't be done behind doors.

anyone agree?

I think any professional athlete that gets paid for their work should be aloud to. Keep HS and college athletics clean but pros should have the option if properly educated about them and under strict supervision. I think it would be more fun from a fan's point of view.

Steroids aren't illegal. You can get a prescription from your doctor.

I have no problems with pro wrestlers using them

What is wrong? How about the high death rates of wrestlers under 50?

These two go hand in hand. Steroids aren't being used properly by wrestlers which is what makes their activity illegal. Also, many of them use pain killers in extreme doses causing significant problems.

It's more then just steroids. It's the stress they are under to get to the top of the card. It's the lifestyle they live. It's the damage they take in the ring.

Just taking one back bump is not heathly for your back. Trust me I know. The human body only has a certian amount of bumps it can take until it screams no more. Then you are in pain everytime you take the simplest back bump then people start with the pain killers and steroids an such.

They take them mostly to get over the crazy injuries they receive so they can keep up with the fast paced schedule they go through. It helps that it gives them the chance to really pack on the pounds.
