Looking for additional competitive advantage, some athletes have turned to anabolic steroids to enhance their performance. Due in part to the downsides of steroid use, most sports organizations ban the use of steroids. This controversy has played a large role in the Olympics. Organizations such as the IOC should ban the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
