Steroids

I've never really heard of people using steroids unless their athletes so hearing about all the side effects and who might be using steroids is sort of scary. I always used to think of steroids as just a way for guys to build muscles but the article says that there's no actual proof of it doing anything to improve athletic ability. From reading the article i actually learned how easily steroids can be found and that it's just like any other drug. But I have heard of steroids being used for medical reasons. Like after someone has an operation, or lost a lot of blood, doctors can give the patients steroids to help them re-gain their strength instead of turning them into a bodybuilder, but that's a whole other story. Steroids are crazy and really dangerous, I think anybody who thinks their good (other than for medical reasons)is a wacko.

  1. I agree with you Sam, because using them just to use them and look cool is not a good way to use it. I think if doctors use it for medical reasons it is okay to use them but otherwise no. Also if it is proven that steroids don't help athletes build muscles then why do they continue using them. I think those are the people who shouldn't use them because they might give it to their friends and so on.

  2. I agree Sam. The only reasons they should be used is for medical purposes NOT making people better athletes. They are dangerous and have so many very dangerous side effects. They also don't work. NO ONE should use them for such stupid reasons.
