Everywhere around the world, there are professional baseball players that feel and believe that their natural born self is not enough. The thought of something that can help muscles grow to be larger and stronger than the norm seems to be the best possible solution. Some baseball players, from college to the pros, use steroids to get an unfair advantage over their opponents. These players have an advantage over the others physically, as well as having a boosted self-esteem. Steroids not only can affect one's physical ability, but also affect one's mental state of mind. Most of the drawbacks from steroids are not really known, so baseball players continue to use them. Steroids should be banned from all of baseball, and offenders should be punished. .
Steroids that are used by athletes are the artificial form of testosterone, a human compared to the quantity produced in women (Mishra hormone released by the body to stimulate and maintain the male sexual organs. Testosterone is called a male hormone since it is produced in men in large quantities, 1-2). Hormones that are produced by the testes and the adrenal gland in men and ovaries and adrenal gland in women contains certain kind of fat called steroids, natural ones, which means "solid" in Greek. The body produces about 600 different kinds of steroids called androgens these kinds include testosterone. The amount of testosterone produced in males is about 10 to 15 times more than in women. For this reason we notice that women who uses steroids have masculine characteristics (Yesalis, 23-24). A male human body produce an average of 2.5 to 11 mg of testosterone daily, while the average user of steroids take about 100 mg daily (Mishra, 2). Androgenic effect plays a role in the maturation of the male reproduction system and is responsible for hair growth and the deepening of the voice while anabolic effect helps in the growth of the muscles by providing them by retained protein (Anabolic steroids, 1).
