A lawsuit against Blackwater Worldwide alleges widespread use of steroids and other drugs by the contractor’s workers in Iraq and accuses its bodyguards of abandoning their post shortly before taking part in a shooting in Baghdad that killed 17 Iraqi civilians.

Additionally, the lawsuit notes: "One of Blackwater's own shooters tried to stop his colleagues from indiscriminately firing upon the crowd of innocent civilians but he was unsuccessful in his efforts."

Pretty sick how these neo SS 'guards' get hyped up on drugs and go kill people. The lawsuit mentions "judgment-altering substances" which I'd consider to be more then 'roids, but I haven't seen the suit to know what they're 'on' specifically.
