The Third Largest Newspaper Company Calls Clenbuterol a Steroid and Compares it to Cocaine
Clenbuterol is not an anabolic steroid. Let me repeat that. Clenbuterol is not a steroid. After almost a decade of witch-hunts involving athletes using performance-enhancing drugs, you would think that most journalists would have a basic understanding of anabolic steroids.
