Default MTV documentary on steroids

I just watched these 2 movies and found it fascinating.

I've got respect to the first guy, hes obviously come a long way naturally, has a good attitude, follows a good consistent diet, etc.

The second guy, the MMA fighter, fair cop to him too. Especially if he did keep up his word and not go back on the steroids secretly after his first fight.

But the third guy....... jesus. He is what gives steroids a bad name. He cycles them so that he win a gay strip contest in a club. He has 14" arms, weighs <180lbs and has severe emotional issues. At the end of the episode he says he tried to kill himself, and it was the steroids that made him do that --> in the program there was no evidence that he knew what he was doing, what he was taking, or how much to take, let alone PCT... so no wonder a man who has depression taking the steroids would probably enhance that.

I think if the show was fully centered around the first guy, it would have given steroids a real good light and show how they are just an enhancement to dedicated athletes, not a way to make a gay depressed man feel more accepted...
