Remember Nitro? He's writing a book about his shriveled junk

Popwatch wow, really. Who wrote this a 7th grader? XSE Drake is completely right, since when DID you become TMZ?

He's not writing this book for people to laugh at. He's writing it to get it out there the dangers of using drugs. I don't know HOW the author didn't come to realize that. This is a serious book, he didn't spill his guts for you to get cheap laughs.

He has some serious courage to even WANT to put out there, his personal business. This is something he could've kept quiet about and NO ONE WOULD HAVE KNOWN A THING.

I really hope this book is successful, not just because I'm a fan of his, but so that it really educates the young athletes out there, like myself, that using drugs to get better is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, and can have life-threatening, life-altering, and even embarassing side-effects.

He's as much my hero as he was when I was watching American Gladiators growing up back in the day. Nothing is going to change. He's still the Nitro I grew up idolizing.

O gosh. Thanks for including that final sentence; I didn't even doubt that he was referring to the H-roids until you cleared things up for me. I was all like, "Hemorrhoids make your testes tiny?"
Again, thanks.

I applaud his courage for getting his story out there. Hopefully it will help some people.

As for your headline, EW, you're pretty tasteless. When did you become TMZ?

I always think 'hemorrhoids' too, but then I figure they have the same side effects so it doesn't really matter, does it?

Funniest headline ever.

American Gladiators admit to steroid use? That's so funny I don't need to say nuthin'

If this doesn't save the embattered publishing industry, nothing will.
