Youngest Person on Steroids?

[dascooby]

Was it Richard Sandrak?

Otherwise who was the youngest and what happened to them?

I doubt that it is possible to identify "the" youngest steroid user just as it won't be possible to identify the oldest steroid user, how "High" is "Up", the number of grains of sand on a beach, or who is the best bodybuilder...

As far as Richard Sandrak is concerned, before his parents split-up his dad was his coach, trainer, dietitian, etc and he kept the details of the boys training and nutrition secret but denied giving Richard any steroid like supplements... After the break-up Richard's went with his mom, who hired a professional trainer to maintain the "Little Hercules" franchise. I saw an interview with the trainer several years back... In it the trainer suggested that the diet and supplements Richard's dad had him on were in the trainer opinion questionable and switched him to a fairly balanced diet and cut out just about all the supplements. Although the trainer never said what Richards dad was feeding him, he did say that he wouldn't have a kid on the diet or given a kid some of the supplements Richards dad had him on...

I am sure Sandrak was not on steroids as a child. I spent the better part of a day around him back then, and there was no sign of precocious puberty, which there would have been had he been on steroids.

As for the youngest, how could one ever know? Before all the media hysteria about them, it used to be relatively common for guys to start in high school. One of my old friends began when he was 16 - with no ill effects I might add. But now, I suspect that has become much more rare.
