[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 275987, member: 15235"] In fairness, I'll propose what i think it is a far better definition of "abuse": AAS abuse is using types and/or doses of AAS that directly create measurable health-threatening affects without an equivalent or greater corresponding health benefit. So for example, using AAS in a way which creates indisputable high blood pressure for an extended period (i.e. more than a few hours) in order to compete in a strength or physique contest would be abuse. Running a supraphysiological dose (e.g. 300mg of Testosterone) without any direct identifiable adverse affects (assuming no other drugs were used to negate side effects) would not be abuse. Note that I would not recommend the second example here since there could be bad things happening that aren't readily apparent, however that is just me and I would not enforce that on someone else by calling it "abuse". It's also worth noting that taking risks for competitive or enjoyment purposes is understood as something some people choose to do, and the anti-AAS bias is especially hypocritical when viewed in this light. Motorcycle racing, MMA and (American) football are obvious examples. [/QUOTE]
