some coaches, actually try giving anabolics to young potential children. in 1996, there was a case, this one child said, he did not want to take medicine his coach was trying to give him because his mother obviously told him the whole stranger with candy story.and in this case as his coach is his guardian, and already unknowingly exploiting him, this might just make it worse.
