      The one second in from the left on the top row.

      It's not visible from the picture but his testicles are tiny. Trust me, I'm a doctor. And a slut.

      Yeah, you can also tell because the expression on his face looks a bit like he's trying not to crap himself. I've heard steroids can cause the runs...

    When I was in school, Steroids cost $800 a cycle. How the hell are these kids paying for it?

      Wow. You must have had little supply and high demand in your market.

      Their parents or coaches pay (an academic scholarship will pay off the investment in short order). Also, it's much cheaper than that these days. You can get a year's supply at $1000 if you aren't going to be tested or $4000 if you are.
