Your Never the Same After Using Drugs
Are the best really the best
With a desire to be the best, many athletes in sports like baseball, football, hockey, basketball and many more, take short cuts by using drugs. Drugs like steroids, testosterone, adrenaline, cocaine, morphine, methadone, and hundreds more are the main substances that are found being enhanced by athletes after drug tests.
