Former foreign secretary and doctor Lord David Owen has accused Russian president Vladimir Putin of taking steroids and said his aggression could be caused by them.
Speaking to Times Radio, Owen said that Putin's changing face shape was a sign that the Russian dictator has been taking steroids, which, he says, are known to cause "aggressiveness" in bodybuilders.
"Look at his face, see how that has changed he now has an oval face," said Owen. "People who said, 'oh, it's plastic surgery or Botox,' I don't believe that at all."

In general I dont like doctors making remote diagnosis, without know the medical history of the person they are talking about

(1,343 posts)H may have a medical condition....or he has been treated by the docs of certain Russian athletes......either way, he's demonstrating the the behaviour and psychology of "roid rage". In that condition, anger and fury take precedence over calm and common sense.

(6,613 posts)Actually his big ego about his masculine athleticism could be why he would take anabolic steroids--he's trying to maintain it. I've been thinking that for some time now. The world tumbles into chaos because an egomaniac wants to keep making hockey goals and riding horseback bare-chested. oh, yeah, and keep up with his younger girlfriend.

(4,716 posts)But, when on Prednisone, you can get what is known as moon face.
I suspected this over the last week. His aggression, mood swings, his hairless chest, etc. That happens on steroids. And his muscles, thats what made me think he was into body building. Now it all makes sense.
He is a loose cannon.
Not sure if there are any adults in the room. We were pretty sure there were some during TFGs reign of terror. And we were probably saved from the absolute worst that he could have done to our country.
But, are there any adults inside Putins inner circle.
If not, then God help us.

(389 posts)When I saw Putins picture right before the invasion I thought it look weird so I compared it to one from 2012. Theres a distinct difference in shape and he now has a bloated look. I feel smart for having noticed that before the experts. LOL but I thought maybe stroke or a long haul disease like Parkinsons.

(1,559 posts)Next to nothing about actual anabolic steroid use. The only drug that really increases aggression is trenbolone, and as a gym rat during the heyday of steroids, Putin is NOT doing tren.
Most physicians are woefully ignorant of anabolic. Look to Dr. Michael Scally, the doctors who do dabble in them lose their license

(7,610 posts)I think he has been on it for over 6 months at least.
He may have tried to recently get off of high doses for whatever medical condition he takes it.
That has been unsuccessful. His condition comes back or,
He has side effects of weaning from the prednisone and has to 'up' his dosage again for a time and then start trying to titrate off of it again, little by little, bit by bit. Down down down. up up down up down down, up up, down down down, up up down down down up up up,
I'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH YOU PEOPLE !!
THAT'S THE short version of how this works.
