[QUOTE="Zani,  post: 12642, member: 160"]The biggest concern is whether these wrestlers can be able to adapt. Drug abuse is a thing, and breaking away from it can be a real struggle for a lot of people involved.[/QUOTE]
You’re spot on, Zani. The struggle to adapt and break away from drug abuse is one of the most significant challenges. It’s not just about physical dependency; it’s also about the psychological aspects—many wrestlers have used steroids to cope with the pressures of the industry, maintain their status, or reach the body image they think is expected of them.

Transitioning to a culture that promotes natural training methods and healthy living will require significant support systems. Wrestlers will need guidance, mentorship, and a community that fosters a healthier mindset. 

Education also plays a vital role—teaching young athletes about the long-term consequences of steroid use, both physically and mentally. It’s about building resilience and understanding that true success comes from dedication and mastery of the craft, not shortcuts.
