Anabolic steroids have been linked to Governor Eliott Spitzer. Steroid Nation reports that steroids caused (former) Gov. Spitzer to seek the services of new millionaire escort Kristen aka Ashley Alexander Dupree.

Once again, Roger Clemens and the Congressional Hearing bring the man down.  Spitzer was testifying about ‘bonds’ (read ‘Bonds).  Governor Spitzer became so distraught that he contracted with a ‘relaxation service’ known as the ‘Emperor’s Club’… The important thing was that as a Yankee fan, Eliot Spitzer became all stressed out about Roger Clemens’s steroids hearings performance.  Further, the Governor testified about ‘bonds’.  That stress led directly to Spitzer’s ‘relaxation therapy’ session with the ‘Emperor’s Club’ later than night.

Of course, this is clearly intended as a joke! Unfortunately, tenuous causal relationships between anabolic steroids and other side effects are often taken seriously.

We are still waiting for the media to find a link between anabolic steroids and the huge financial crisis involving Bear Stearns.
