Why Do People Abuse Anabolic Steroids

Every couple of weeks or so, you hear stories of professional athletes having their sport taken away from them, because of the drive to be the biggest, strongest and best they could be. Due to this drive, they begin to use Performance Enhancing Drugs. PED’s are a danger to athletes and their health, and they should remain banned. Some of these dangers are cardiovascular difficulties, dangerous side effects, and illness in the liver.

Athletes who abuse them use them the wrong way. They use them to get an upper hand n competition and take advantage of what steroids can do for them, and who are willing to use them under the medical risks that come with using them. Athletes who use them like that are using to enhance muscle mass, and give them an energy boots so they can train linger and harder. They are using them fr all the wrong reasons when there are healthier ways to enhance muscle mass and get better at something without the aid of drugs. I strongly believe that using steroids is cheating in competition.

Dedication takes heart, courage, and effort, and most serious athletes will tell you that the competitive drive to win can be fierce. Athletes often pursue dreams of winning a medal for their country or securing a spot on a professional team, which caused the use of performance-enhancing drugs has become increasingly common (“Performance- Enhancing Drugs: Know the Risk”). The abuse of performance-enhancing drugs can cause depression just like what happened with Taylor Hooton started using steroids because he “needed to be bigger” for his senior year (Grossfeld); after a long term use of steroids he hanged himself from his bedroom door on July 15, 2003. In Plano, Texas (Grossfeld). Even though Steroids can demonstrate the highest potential on a human being, Athletes should not be able to use performance-enhancing drugs, because they can bring serious health problems and using steroids you are cheating not only others, you are cheating also yourself.

Drugs are a big issue in the sports industry. Many athletes will take performance-enhancing drugs, such as steroids, to help them play better. These types of drugs should not be allowed because it gives the player a greater advantage over other players who are playing with their natural ability. This issue could be solved if there was monthly drug testing and if the drug was not so easy to get ahold of. Many major league baseball players are getting caught using performance-enhancing drugs. Mostly power hitters and pitchers will use these steroids.

Commonly known as juice, roids, and gym candy, anabolic steroids or PEDs (performance enhancing drugs) are illegally used for unfair advantages by many players in Major League Baseball. Since the 1930’s, steroids have been available for use. Anabolic steroids are a synthetic type of male hormone, testosterone, that are used in combination with a workout. Also similar to steroids are human growth hormones commonly known as HGH. Both anabolic steroids and HGH help contribute to endurance during a hard workout, greater muscle mass and strength, and quicker recovery.

Steroids are commonly associated with a negative connotation when it comes to athletes and body builders. Yet few are informed about the benefits steroids provide. There are two types of steroids: Cortisone and Anabolic steroids. Cortisone steroids are used to treat medical conditions whereas anabolic steroids are used to replicate human sex hormones. Steroids benefit those with hormone imbalances, respiratory disorders and increase athletic ability.

Drugs For Thugs “A positive drug test can destroy an athlete 's career and tarnish his or her legacy”(Porterfield,25). Fans look up to athletes as role models but since fans look up to them so much they do things to stay at the top of there games. Yes athletes want to be the best in the league but it doesn 't take drugs to become that it takes hard work so why do it. So I think there should be a harsher punishment for athletes caught using steroids and performance drugs because of health problems, it gives them an unfair advantage plus it gives the sport and athletes a bad reputation.

Also, when drugs are used it takes the human effort away from sports where athletes have trained hard. There are many different types of PEDs and here are some of the major ones that are used: Stimulants: Stimulants are substances that act directly on the central nervous system to speed up parts of the brain and body. Anabolic steroids: They build muscle and increase endurance. They are used mostly by football players and weightlifters.
