Professional sporting teams in Australia have been doing this a decade ago. In 2012, an AFL (Australian Football) team injected 34 players with the banned peptide Thymosin Beta-4.

FWIW they were crazy fit and won their first 8 games of the season. Their captain won the highest award at the end of the season while the coach was even said to be injecting a peptide (Melanotan II) for a summer tan.

Saga sure sounds a lot more poetic than scandal. I propose we rename it all: "The watergate saga", "Anthony Weiner dickpic saga", "The windrush saga", etc.

I read stories like this, and all I can think is - how can I try some of this stuff? If it is safe, well-tolerated, and improves muscle building/repair, I would happily enjoy easier muscle improvement without feeling any Puritanical misgivings. They can even pre-abolish me from all professional sports for life.

It's pretty easy to find vendors if you go lurking web fora. I recommend the one that only operates over email.

I mean more over-the-counter and less dark web.
