Anabolic Steroids

            
             In today's society no longer are sports looked at as an event. Now sports are moneymaking opportunities. The athletes that compete in these sports are in it to make money. No longer is it to entertain or have fun but to win. It doesn't matter how you win just as long as you win. So athletes look for an edge on their competition. The edge that too many athletes look to is Anabolic Steroids. Anabolic Steroids have good and bad side affects to them. There are rules prohibiting athletes from using this substance but that does stop many of them from doing it. College and pro athletes want the glory or the spot light and are willing to do anything to improve their performance. I think that Anabolic Steroids should be legalized due to the fact that it will make the game unreal. Faster, stronger, and more athletic players will make the games so much enjoyable to the fans. Athletes are always looking for an edge in order to boost their performance and Anabolic Steroids provide the edge that they are looking for.
             Unfortunately for the athletes that uses these steroids; end up hurting themselves more than they help themselves. By thinking that using steroids will help them is just an illusion; they don't think about the adverse effects that the steroids have on their bodies. Steroids also give you the false notion that they will only help and not hurt. But what they do not take inconsideration is that if they get caught using them that they will hurt more, not because of the steroids but they will be band from playing the sport they love and cherish. The compounds that make up anabolic steroids are very complex and dangerous. Plain and simple Anabolic Steroids are a drug. They are illegal. Steroids are a temporary solution to a hormone deficiency or a temporary boost in the hormone known as testosterone. They put extra testosterone into your body so that you can build muscle mass and strength.
