Steroids in Sports Do you know what proper steroid use can do for you in sports? Steroids are a synthetic form of the male hormone testosterone and can help your body be the best that it can be and improve your game. Steroids have been used as early as 776 BC in the original Olympic Games by the ancient Greeks to enhance their performance. There are many different forms of this drug some you take by mouth and some you have to inject and when used responsibly there can be endless benefits, but when used irresponsibly the drug can cause serious damage to the body and in severe cases it can cause death. There are already many forms of legal steroids called test booster, this supplement boosts the testosterone levels in the body for muscle growth. Test boosters are much milder than actual steroids but they are still considered steroids. Steroids are great at speeding up the recovery of your muscles, it does this with the male hormone testosterone. Some of the steroids you can take by mouth are Anadrol, Anavar, Dianabol, Halotestin, and Primobolin. Some of the popular injectable steroids are Stanozolol, Enanthate, Propionate, and Cypionate. I think that steroids should be allowed in today 's sports only for the fact that it speeds up muscle recovery and muscle growth. An athlete 's career is short enough as it is, with the proper use of steroids it can help them recover from an injury faster that could possibly end their
Steroids (anabolic) are a drug that was discovered and made by medical scientists in the last 1930’s to help with medical problems. The drug was made to help with many medical problems such as testosterone, growth, sexual functioning, and other medical problems such as helping people with HIV to help grow musical. It also helps with many other diseases. Like any other drug on the market people learn that the drug can be used for many other ways.

The use of steroids in sports has been a very common argument for so long because there has been arguments that it enhances performance. Why you should not use steroids! Steroids make you have mood swings and can damage your physical appearance. The more steroids you take has a bigger effect on your body. steroids should not be allowed because they cause health risk, behavior issues/mood swings,and they affect the brain.
Steroids and PED’s are used today in sports to help athletes gain muscle mass and strength. Other athletes use them to boost their athletic performance. Today, about 30 percent of college and professional athletes still use anabolic steroids, 10 to 20 percent of high school athletes use them (Lewis). There are many reasons why steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs shouldn’t be allowed in sports.
Steroids, ever since their introduction into the sports world five decades ago, they have been a controversial issue (WebMD medical news). Anabolic performance dates as far back as the original Olympic Games. Today walking into any gym you will find some one who is using steroids or some kind of enhancement supplement. Anabolic steroids are so popular with athletes from high School level all the way up to the top. For the past fifty years, athletes around the world use steroids to gain muscle mass, and along with regular work-outs try to achieve the results they desire. Kids today using these drugs are getting younger and younger every day. But is it worth the cost? I believe the ban on steroids should be strictly
Many athelete take steroids in order to do better in the field. In the article What you really need to know about anabolic steriods states that, "Anabolic steroids allows athelete to train harder." Many people get tired after training for few hours but taking sterioids can help anyone to train for a long time without getting overtrained. If a person use anabolic steroids u will get stronger and will be able to compete harder. Some athelete even said if steriods was around during them, they could have done much better and maybe extend their career. Anabolic steroids can reduce fat, increase strength and it can also save lives.
The world of competitive sports may never accept anabolic steroids. In not doing so they are limiting athletes to only perform to the best of their unaided ability. Is it really fair to tell an athlete what they can and can’t use as an enhancer to perform better? The fans and sports enthusiast, may never be able to witness the full physical potential of competitors. Anabolic steroids should be legal in professional sports and embraced to allow the human body to be pushed to the next level.
After reading this I’m sure you can understand People abusing steroids need to change their efforts from getting the steroids, to developing their abilities naturally like everyone else. Steroids are not only bad for your health, they are illegal. The only ways to obtain anabolic steroids is by illegally attaining a medicinal prescription of them or smuggling them in from a foreign country. My question is why would you want to put something in your body that you don’t even know where it comes from. If athletes and people trying to look better would put
Steroids are strong medicine, which can have effects on you. Steroids are illegal unless a doctor prescribes some to you. Steroids are illegal because it can get you stronger, but also men who take it can develop breast, painful erections, decreased sperm count, etc. Doctors will only prescribe steroids only to treat specific medical conditions. Doctors cannot prescribe steroids to a person to increase their athletic ability.
People are so interested in their sports performance. “Anabolic steroids work by helping the body's muscle cells produce more protein, which as long as the athletes works out, leads to increased muscle size and strength and, at the same time, also allows the body to produce more ATP, the "fuel"muscles need to move.”(Horwitz). “Testosterone is a naturally occurring steroid hormone that not only promotes bone density and muscle growth, but also produces sperm in the testes. ... Perhaps the biggest myth is that choosing testosterone replacement therapy to increase testosterone levels will produce exactly the same side effects as abusing steroids.”(What’s the Difference…). Athletes are always interested in looking good for the crowd and they think they have to look good. “Athletes use drugs for therapeutic and recreational purposes, as supposed ergogenic aids, and to mask the presence of other drugs during testing.”(Abuse of Drugs…). Scientists are making new steroids called Designer steroids that are
In the world of sports it is not rare to see athletes give their heart and soul for the love of the game. From sunrise to sundown they practice everyday to perfect their game.Then there are those who take an alternative route. Now athletes are taking performance enhancers such as creatine, androstenedione and worst of all, anabolic steroids.Steroids are chemicals that act like hormones (substances in your body that regulate bodily functions). Anabolic steroids are the ones that are abused to build muscle mass or to make your workout longer. They are chemicals of artificial testosterone, which is a male hormone.
For years, anabolic steroids have been used by competitive athletes have used to improve performance through muscular size or strength, and by noncompetitive weight trainers for purely cosmetic physique enhancement. In the vast majority of cases, users of that have taken steroids for prolonged periods have reported considerable gains in physical size and strength. However, a large number of side effects and health risks have been linked to extended use of anabolic steroids. Research has indicated that the negative effects of steroid use far outweigh the positive effects. As a result, anabolic steroids are now illegal to use for performance enhancement in professional and competitive sports.
Should athletes be able to take performance enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids? NO, research has shown that steroids can help you go beyond what you think you could be; but it is also a killer, and a destroyer and a life wrecker! Deborah Sorensen, former US professional bodybuilder announced: “ I've watched happy, energetic and positive guys go from Dr. Jekyll to Mr.Hyde, and I've seen petite women turn into hulking no-neck bearded monsters with acne all over their backs and shoulders.” Which some professional athletes can argue that when the are competing at the highest level the only thing that matters is winning; which young athletes are adopting this practice with hope to make it to the big leagues. Which in reality taking steroids might help you become a good athlete but you will be cheating yourself because in the long run
The use of steroids in sports should be outlawed because they are illegal, harmful to one’s body, extremely costly, could damage an athletes’ career as well as become quite addictive.
From some research I have seen, people have used steroids to help them keep energetic to exercise and do varies sports. The use of steroids by people has become so usual to improve performance in their sport or day to day exercises. Also the use of anabolic steroids by athletes has become common in order to improve their performance in the sports they play. But, little did you know that there are three main reasons as to why not to use them. First off, it is a fraud to use any method that makes people become better in sports, because that will also let fraud in any other aspect of our lives. Second, while trying to achieve a higher benefit using these chemicals, it is cheating people who rely on our ability to achieve objectives that should be clean and made by our own
In the past three decades, steroids has been becoming a serious problem more than ever in the athletic field. Steroids are anabolic drug "to build" growth hormones that include the androgens (male sex hormones) principally testosterone and estrogen and progestogens (female sex hormones). Steroids were first developed for medical purposes. They're used in controlling inflammation, strengthening weakened hearts, preventing conception, and alleviating symptoms of arthritis and asthma. Unfortunately research has shown that steroids have been abused in almost every kind of sport. Although steroids contribute to a muscular body, usage should remain illegal because they physically deteriorate and mentally destroy the body.
