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

      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.
