The only bit I have a problem with is the fact that I would be endorsing/supporting an unhealthy and dangerous practice (with respect to PED use). It would be like attending a drinking competition where competitors as asked to drink them selves to oblivion, last person standing.
There is that moral issue...but in the end it's an individual choice and maybe with a transparent approach the moinitoring of health issues would be a bit more considered.
Magnussen suggests (despite some bravado early on in the article) that it won't just be a "take as much as you can approach" and that there would be a cautious approach.
Quote:Magnussen added he would need to understand much more about steroid use and “take the right supplements”.
“I want to approach this the right way, I want to go to America, I want to get the right advice and take the right supplement,” he said.
”I don’t know much about that world so I want to do my research and have the right team behind me and with the help of Aron, I’d like to document it through video form. Show how it can be done safely, properly and create an athlete we haven’t seen before.”
...and speaking from personal experience... running, jumping, lifting and throwing to extremes in your early years often doesn't lead to a pain free and healthy existence in your twilight years. Quite the opposite.
