It is amazing what athletes will do to get ahead of their game, to gain levels of performance that go way beyond there normal abilities and strengths to jump ahead of the competition. Often people do not realize the long term effects that steroids have on one person's life. Steroids became a spreading exposure to athletes in the Olympics and other major sporting events in the 1950's. After the Canadian sprint runner Ben Johnson tested positive for steroids in the Olympics in 1985 after winning the gold meddle in the hundred meter dash, that was when steroids started to become obvious to athletes. It isn't just the big body builder and the pro athletes that you will catch using steroids, alot of the time it is just your average person like you or me, just wanting to get ahead of the game and have that advantage over everyone else. As I have known from personal experience, you can walk into any gym and you will always find that one guy who is bigger then everyone else. You often ask yourself, is that natural? There is no way it can be, what's he on? As an athlete I have been tempted many times to go juice it, or as you would say, take steroids. But there is a line that you cross when you take steroids, and once you pop that pill or push that needle there is no turning back. You are no longer able to talk about the other guy who took steroids because you took them yourself. There should be no controversy over steroid use in athletes; it is an illegal drug that is banned by most, if not all, major sports organizations. Steroids as far as I am concerned is cheating, and there is no possible explanation for an athlete to cheat.
