Steroids

STEROIDS
I'm sure most of you know what a perfomance enhancing steroid is. Well, If you dont, a steroid is a perfomance enhancing drug that increases particular skill and helps build muscle. Most people who use these are atlhletes; and professional athletes make them more and more famous because they are illegal to use in professional sports, and they often get caught using steroids.. The most popular way to take these type of  steroid for the athletes is an anabolic steroid which can come in tablet or liquid form. An anabolic steroid is a group of synthetic hormones that promote the storage of protein and the growth of tissue, sometimes used by athletes to increase muscle size and strength. There are many commonly used anabolic steroids in sports that are banned such as : androstenedione, Primobolan ( Alex Rodriguez just got caught using), Tetrahydrogestrinone, clenbuterol, and DHEA.

SIDE EFFECTS
The short term effects of steroid use is not always negative. Steroid use can increase muscle size/mass and the abillity to train your body harder and longer then before. Altough the more serious side effects are more negative and not always reversible. Steroids can cause oily skin, acne, excressive hari growth, deeping of your voice. Major side effects incluce getting cancer, increased risk of heart and liver disease, jaundice, sleep apnea and etc. Research also shows that steroids users always often suffer from paranoid jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions, and impaired judgment stemming from feelings of invincibility. Along with testical shrinkage can also happen to men who use steroids, and for wemon who use is can cause permanent enlargement of the clitoris and permanent infertility.

WHY?
Yes steroids can make you stronger and faster and better, but it's only for a short time then your body starts breaking down. The side effects WAY outweigh the better results. My opinion is if you work out corectly and diet correctly you will be a better athlete and get to play a lot longer because there are no side effects to a healhy diet and work out routine, and if you are an athlete and you do get caught using steroids you will most likely be shunned from the league and will no longer be a honorable player anyways, so why use?
