Medically called gynecomastia, and induced by anabolic steroids, former NFL lineman Dan Clark claims anabolic steroids caused his breasts to swell up so much he needed reduction surgery. However, he looked good in a bikini on muscle beach.
As a side effect of the estrogenic effects of steroids, gynecomastia results when the glands present in male breast tissue reacts with hypertrophy. Plastic surgeons now find themselves busy reducing the body-builders and athletes who abuse the drugs so much they suffer this side effect, as well as the testicular shrinkage effects. To the Examiner:
After just 10 weeks of injecting steroids, former Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Dan Clark gained 32 pounds of muscle. But after 20 years of using the drugs — when he was Nitro on "American Gladiator" — he also got shrunken testicles, major man boobs and dull throbbing pain during sex.
Page Six reports that Dan's tell-all memoir, "Gladiator: A True Story of 'Roids, Rage and Redemption," reveals that his breasts got so big he had to have reduction surgery. Dan writes in his book:
Bitch tits, man boobs, breast-chesticles is what they're called on the street. Gynecomastia is the scientific name. No matter what you call it, I [had] it. I hate[d] taking off my shirt."
The good news is, Dan finally quit doing steroids, got some therapy, and is now a
consultant on the new "American Gladiators."
Amazon.com will ship "Gladiator: A True Story of 'Roids, Rage and Redemption" Feburary 10.
Suppose he could have used a sports bra when he took off his shirt. Even 'Nitros' plastic fiugure shows some gynecomastia.
Nitro is a better, more intimidating nickname than "Titty Boy."

I thought he worked alot for that. But it doesn't matter, atleast he's not denying it.

Man boobs are really common with steroid abusers. So are shrunken testicles and the inability to maintain an erection. Stay. Away. From. Steroids. Period!

Steroids for men are like breast implants for women. Superficial, maybe. But it's a personal choice and everyone should respect it.

That's why people should avoid this kind of superficial methods to look good. I can understand plastic surgery, only if needed, like after giving birth and becoming a mommy, but that's about it.
