Steroids

Anabolic steroids are the synthesized version of the naturally occurring male hormone, testosterone. Anabolic steroids are used by athletes, body builders, and even adolescents to build muscle mass and increase size and strength. Anabolic essentially means muscle building. Anabolic steroids are a controlled substance and a schedule three drug. This means doctors can prescribe anabolic steroids for specific medical conditions and uses, but it is illegal to possess anabolic steroids without a prescription. Many sports organizations and associations also ban the use of anabolic steroids and performance enhancing drugs for a variety of reasons. First, because anabolic steroids are illegal. Secondly, because anabolic steroids are dangerous. Third, because anabolic steroids ruin the spirit and intent of a sports content. Fourth, the use of anabolic steroids sets a bad precedent and a bad example for younger viewers and fans of the sport.

Some sports organization are better about testing for anabolic steroids than others. The Olympics routinely performs blood tests on athletes who medal. The use of anabolic steroids is also popular in professional cycling, though cyclists are also regularly checked and tested. The use of anabolic steroids seems to be an open secret in baseball, with many players continuing to use steroids long after they were caught.
