Soldiers sent home for steroid use

That's one way to get out of combat.

Three soldiers have been sent home from Afghanistan after being caught using anabolic steroids. Earlier this year, four elite special forces soldiers were also found to be using steroids.

However, there is a very worrying aspect to this article if you happen to serve in the Aussie military.

Commentators argue taking steroids does not provide a physical edge in combat, and Mr James says, if anything, the cases have uncovered a vain streak among Defence personnel.

"What you need in combat is physical fitness and endurance fitness and steroids have more to do with muscle tone," he said.

This James person is a moron.

There can be no question that anabolic steroids have more to do with improving strength fitness, than "muscle tone."

When a fool like this person has a say, James is "the executive director of the Australia Defence Association," soldiers are likely to suffer.

Sad.
