This article can be significantly improved, by someone who writes better than I... For instance, the statement "Presented most commonly as a 50 mg tablet, oxymetholone is one of the strongest androgenic steroids available.[1]" is highly inaccurate, and the reference, a pharmaceutical brochure, does not support the statement. The article sounds like it cam from a underground body-building tome instead of an objective summary of the pharmaceutical properties and uses. To reiterate, as an example, oxymetholone doesn't even bind tightly to the AR receptor, so how can one make the statement that it is one of the strongest androgenic steroids? The strongest AR steroid is metribolone (methyl trenbolone) in literature, so what's up here? Anyhow, it would be great for someone to fix this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.253.201.155 (talk) 08:51, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
