I'm on the road right now, working, but I thought I'd check in and do an intro...

Since I'm not a huge fan of this kinda thing, I'm going to repost the introduction that Biotest did about me on T-nation in their "Meet the staff" article...this is their summary of me:

His firsthand experience in steroids began after he switched sports and began playing rugby, in which he ultimately made two consecutive appearances at the hooker position in the national collegiate all-star games. Along the way to his two national appearances, he won Player of the Year at his university and started every single game for all four years, spending every year since the end of the first as the team captain.
Shortly after graduating college with a B.A. in English and another in Philosophy, this MENSA member moved to New Zealand where he played first division rugby union in the north Harbour province and second grade rugby league.
During this time competing at an elite level of athletics, he continued his intensive study of anabolics, ultimately resulting in the writing and publication of several articles in the field of anabolics and training.

In addition, T-nation did an 11 page interview with me, Titled "Chemically Insane", and here's the intro (and link, if that's ok):

Since his death in 2000, many "gurus" have tried to fill Dan's shoes. None of them so far have had that spark of un-scrupled edginess that defined Duchaine. But talking to new T-Nation contributor Anthony Roberts, one begins to see a glimmer of that spark. Roberts has also written a book on steroids, has also done some time in the clink, and also seems to be a bit, well, nuts.
Sounds like just the kind of person we like to interview.

Anyway, thanks to Mr.X for the invite.
