Thats how google's AdWords and AdSense programs work. It gives you "relevant" advertisements to what the page is talking about. We aren't talking about buying roids here, but the discussion is about them, so google sees what we are discussing and figures that advertising for them fits right in.
If you have google's free email, titled "gmail," the same thing happens in your inbox. If you open up an email from a friend about playing golf next weekend, you will see advertisements on the side of the page for golf clubs, trips, balls, courses, etc. If you open up a spam email for viagra, your ads are about lengthening and lasting for hours.
as i posted this message, the ads were for "hardcorestacks.com" and "houseofmuscle.com"
