13 year old who took steroids

An article by Justin Morhardt

 

Have you ever wondered if it is possible for someone to force someone to take steroids? Well, this 13-year-old found out in a hard way that he and his father only had a relationship around winning, and winning centered on steroids and HGH (Human Growth Hormone)

 

Corey Gahan started taking steroids in 2002 while he was but 13 years old. Before he started taking steroids he had a promising career in inline roller-skating. One day, after school, he came home and felt very sick. He went to the doctor’s office and found out that he had 20 times more testosterone than the average man. Three years later, he was banned from competing in the Olympics.

 

After a long trial, which included many people, Corey’s father was convicted for distributing steroids to a minor. He was sentenced to six years in prison.

 

All in all, Corey’s feelings on what happened were, “Steroids completely change your mindset, and they turn you from being an athlete, into a MONSTER.”
