Steroids.....Is it worth it?

Anabolic Steroids, or better known as “roids,” “juice,” “hype,” or “pump,” is a word that is becoming more frequently used in the news today. But, just what are anabolic steroids and what are the effects of this drug if any? The word anabolic means “building body tissue,” and these drugs make the user feel stronger, larger, and tougher than they otherwise would act naturally. With these kind of effects provided, unfortunately, these steroids are becoming a bigger issue in the world of sports every day. So, are these illegal substances really worth the risk? Over the past decade or so, steroids have been making an appearance in the news more frequently than in the past years. The question is why are they becoming more commonly known in today’s society? We all know how rumors happen and basically, all rumors reach the wrong person at some time or another which has caused there to be stricter testing in all of the professional leagues. They have turned heroes into the enemy, and they have caused true greatness to almost disappear in our minds. Their magic can turn the weak and useless into the best in the game. With a little extra boost of the hormone testosterone, any male or female will become more aggressive and will loose much of their personality that they once obtained. Though steroids will improve one’s endurance, strength, and muscle mass, they do not, however, improve skill, agility, or performance. You see this everyday in the news in each sport. No matter where you go, you can not get away from this talk. Congress spend more days on "steroids" then they did talking about health care. This is a serious problem today in sports.
