guys, hate to break it to ya... but roid rage is a common logical fallacy... people are so uneducated about the subject and the media demonization of it is absolutely rediculous. People blame it on steroids because they have heard stories about people taking sauce and then being an asshole.... her is the thing, those people are simply using the sauce as an excuse to act in such a manner. plus, if you were an asshole off steroids, you will be one on them... now do synthetic male hormones have the ability to increase aggressiveness... yes, but not in the way it is portrayed in things like THE PROGRAM... even though lattimer is the balls. its exactly what it is, a scapegoat... garland couldnt be more right. there are a lot more people than you think that are using anabolics, and yet you would never know judging by their personality and dameanor.... its the idiot assholes that do steroids to say that they are on steroids are just using the term "roid rage" as a method of intimidation (easily facilitated and justified by uneducated people such as media stating that roid rage is scientifically real). hell i have known people that have chewed up 50mg of halo and been on over 3000mg of testosterone and there temperment was fine... there were other factors in this wrestlers case... roid rage even if it were real wouldnt last for over a period of 2 days when the killings took place... any type of heightened irritability would only last minutes... hell this guy was probably jsut using test an growth, not slamming super high androgens like finaplex and halo. steroids were not Chris Benoit's undoing.
