I think people usin the term “steroids” too loosely thinkin that these superstar athletes are using the same shyt you see some fat swole bloated clown at the gym using.
I don’t think lebron cheating or doin anything other athletes aren’t doing. Now that being said, I would assume nikkas know these athletes are taking advantage of whatever new medical / science shyt is available for them to recover, prevent injuries, promote strength plus endurance and pushing the boundaries while doin so.
These dudes are billion / million dollar industries in and of themselves and just like any other business, there’s a lot of grey area to play in when it comes to building and protecting their investment(s). They ain’t goin to no damn vitamin shoppe eatin multi vitamins and other bs, they gettin whatever cutting edge treatments are available that won’t get them in any obvious trouble and leagues arent dumb enough in current times to shoot themselves in the foot to spite their leg like MLB did in the 2000s with their megastars.
All of these banned substances would’ve been legal if there wasn’t any health litigation and negative stigma involved because none of these leagues care about these nikkas health outside of what they can produce on the court / field.
