The Slide Continues

There was a time - not so long ago - when women served as the moderating force of society. Men wanted sex, they had to get married. Men wanted to booze it up day and night, they had to deal with the temperance crusaders. In short, women counterbalanced the idiocy of men.

Not anymore.

TRENTON, N.J. -- An alarming number of American girls, some as young as 9, are using bodybuilding steroids -- not necessarily to get an edge on the playing field, but to get the toned, sculpted look of models and movie stars, experts say.

Girls are getting their hands on the same dangerous testosterone pills, shots and creams that have created a scandal in major league baseball and other sports. Often, these are the same girls who have eating disorders, according to some research.
