I'm sure it's like beating a dead horse, and I have many stories but this one really was surprising to me.
3-4 years ago I'm sitting around a table at a coffee shop with a group of recreational triathletes, because I was there that day and it was news at the time people were talking about Lance and doping in cycling/triathlon/running and on and on. I diplomatically said that I had seen some stuff, and it probably goes on, but I don't know know who and how these days, also we should be careful taking Holy stances when a lot of people dope right in town here, and we don't think too much of that. They asked how, I said hormonally and it's a big help. A couple people interrupted me and said they don't mean T or HGH as that's not really doping, that's just what people need to be normal. As it turns out, I had painted myself into a corner when 9 of let's say 12 at the table admitted to using T as part of their "health program" on a regular basis. Pellets, cream, pills, whatever. Were the other 3 just not admitting they too were doing it? I didn't know what to say, many of them people I knew pretty well. I'd say 8 or more had pinned on a number in the last year. It was pretty depressing.
The only other story I have is that over the last 5 years I've seen maybe one person per year make significant physical and ability changes within my circle in the local triathlon world. If it's a friend, I congratulate them on their progress, I then almost always ask about their changes to become leaner/faster. In all five instances it was followed with a,"Well, as a matter of fact, I went and got tested and it turns out this whole time I've had Low-T!!!" Again, super depressing, I've kind of accepted it as the norm. -L
