Some athletes believe that winning at all costs should involve taking steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs. They fail to think about what would happen to their body when they reach 40 or 50 years old. They might not fully realize that the effects of steroids may be quick but you might have to suffer the long-term consequences.

Anabolic steroids may be used by athletes for various reasons such as to build muscle mass, increase muscle strength, reduce weight, and to recover from injury faster. They may also use anabolic steroids to boost their confidence, cope with pressure and to help them relax.

According to the Mayo Clinic, steroid users often misuse the drugs. It could bring about problems such as infertility, shrunken testicles, male pattern baldness and gynecomastia in men. Other serious problems that could arise are liver abnormalities, tumor growth, aggression, depression, kidney problems and diseases such as HIV or hepatitis if you are into injectables.

The US Government has been effective in preventing steroids this past 20 years. It has driven the steroid industry in the black market.

However, this could further make smuggled steroids more dangerous because it is not subjected to safety standards and could be mislabeled and impure.

From The Famaun Online:

“I don’t really think there is a need for these drugs,” tennis coach Nikki Goldthreate said. “I don’t think student athletes should take it because of the long term effects. You would be better off consistently working hard instead of cheating yourself.”
