Forget ballplayers. More than ever, police officers are juicing up to get an edge on perps—but at what price?

When Jimmy developed a golf ball-size pus nodule on his butt, which popped during a house party full of cops, they just laughed and pointed at the wet spot seeping through his jeans; they'd all been there.

When it comes to cops pickled in testosterone, on-the-job performance is another cause for concern.
For instance, one problem for many juicers is that their nipples and testicles become hypersensitive.
This might not seem like a big deal, except that in Officer Jimmy's case, it meant that the slightest graze against his nips or 'nads sent him reeling in pain; despite his Samsonian strength, he'd have been rendered helpless by a purple nurple.
And, while before he'd been lithe and quick, Jimmy found his new bulk difficult to maneuver.
"A powerlifter isn't going to be a very good martial artist," he observes.
Not only that, but he could barely make it up a flight of steps without gasping for air.
Jimmy's muscles may well have proven useful in a fight—if suspects had been willing to stand still while he clobbered them.
