Every serious bodybuilder once in his career comes to the point in his
life when he asks himself whether to use steroids or not. Once he
answers this question to himself, and if the answer is positive, there
goes the next question: Where do I get them, where do I buy steroids?
Way back
there wasn't much choice – you'd go to the biggest guy in the gym and,
after some chit-chat, ask him if he can get you some and hope for the
best. Nowadays it is somewhat different. Because the government is
getting stricter and the penalties are high people will not sell
steroids to complete strangers because of fear of police. For the same
reasons people - potential customers - don't dare asking bout steroids
that much either. Thankfully there came an alternative – Internet
Sales.
At first
Internet wasn't treated with much respect by bodybuilders, it was in
fact quite overlooked. Let's face it, most bodybuilder weren't really
interested in a geeky virtual network used mainly by geeks.
Bodybuilders just weren't geeks. Gradually things changed, though, as
people realized that by using Internet, they can easily communicate
with other people from all over the world. Bodybuilders, too, realized
that they can reach a lot more people over the Internet than they could
ever reach in the gym, and all these people shared their ideas,
experience, best cycles, mistakes... And they could do that from the
confinement of their homes, and with complete anonymity.
Naturally,
as more people started sharing their ideas, people also realized they
could ask others where to obtain anabolic steroids. And they were told
eventually, there would be sources offering their products to others.
Thus more and more people started ordering steroids over the net.
Unfortunately, just as soon, crooks realized they could simply claim
they would sell steroids to a potential customer, but would simply stop
responding after they would receive the money. These so called scammers
lowered actual Internet steroids sales and seriously lowered people's
confidence in online sources.
It is
often asked why would anyone want to order online anyway – if you order
from someone in the gym you can inspect the products – visually at
least – on the spot you don't send money to unknown persons without
knowing if you will ever see it again if the gear is fake, you always
know whom to approach... These are all very good arguments for using
known sources, those found in the gym, but they are only good when one
already knows the source or is introduced by an intermediate. When, on
the other hand, a young bodybuilder with no connections wants to buy
gear directly he is confronted with difficult question. Whom do I ask
is he reliable will he talk to others about me will I be perceived as
a druggie if he talks? In the last couple of years, because the laws
got even stricter, there is always a question whether or not that other
person is police or not. And even if one is willing to ignore that a
potential source may not. These are important questions and to many
people anonymity is more important than couple of dollars they might
loose to a scammer.
On the
other hand it is known that on the Internet you are unknown. When you
ask a question on a public steroid board, something like which is
better, Sustanon or Deca, no one is going to bash you about using
steroids. Even if anyone would want to, it is limited to that public
board or group. Once you decide you wish to order online, all you
really give out is your address. This info again is stored on some
server on the Internet, and impossible to access for outsiders. When
you pay for an online order, you never have to give out any info about
what exactly you pay for. Some more advanced online sources even offer
Credit Card payment, so it only take couple of clicks and some typing
and you’re done. Of course online ordering is not perfect: you are
never sure when you will receive the items you ordered as post usually
takes time and you are never sure if you will receive them at all.
This last issue, however, can be avoided if you do some research
beforehand and pay attention to some basic guidelines for evaluating
steroid sources (a separate article to follow shortly ))
So we can
see that online steroid ordering has more positive sides than negative,
and in fact is easier and better than looking for a source in a gym
(without any prior connections). Although it is far from perfect it
does have the advantage of anonymity and complete deniability in the
face of law. And as such it is the best choice for anyone trying to get
steroids.
