When most people think of steroids they think it is down right discussing. They think people take steroids and they magically become sports god, a sports god that cheated. Well the thing is steroids doesn't make you connect with a baseball nor does it make you drain a three pointer. It does make you stronger and lets you have more endurance. But lets say you take a batter on steroids and place him against a pitcher on steroids now doesn't that even the playing field. Also say every professional athlete in every sport was on steroids, think of how barbaric sports would be, and how competitive people would be trying to break unbreakable records. Would it not make golf even interesting to watch, heck it may even make figure skating interesting, but lets not push it. If an athlete wants to help better there carrier, they take steroids to help them. By them doing that they know the effects it has on there body and the consequences they will have to deal with if they get caught on them. So should steroids be aloud in professional sports? Would it make sports more interesting?

in my mind that is cheating because you are taking something to make you stronger at what you do, and someone who is truly better than you is getting beaten for putting more work into it and not reaping the benefits because there body is natural and a steroid users is not it is altered to be more fit. i think that is you have to take something to make you better it is certainly cheating, and if you are tested for roids and your caught you get kicked out of your organization you are a participant in.

I don't think steroids should be allowed for athletes. One, it is illegal. Two, not everyone wants to take them. Three, it wouldn't be fair unless everyone did take them. Most sports are from skill and practice. Steroids are just taking the easy street in getting huge and strong. Real athletes don't need steroids, they have talent and skill. That's what sports are all about, not drugs to make them better. In this world we live today, there is probably a drug for just about anything you want to be physically. So if you want to play sports just play hard.

I believe that you should not take any drugs unless it was prescribed by a doctor to help you with your strength or your endurance. Thats what the gym is for to help you get stronger and improve your endurance as you continue to keep working out. I also believe that if you think you need to take steroids to help you play the sport better than that position or that sport isnt for you, there is just something else that you should be doing.

i think using steriods is a sense of cheating because depending on the sport that you are doing it gives you a little help at doing the sport

It is deffintly cheating. For someone to have to use a drug to make them better at a sport is cheating. They are mostlikly playing because they are good which means they shouldnt need drugs.

If it is illegal to use a steriod in sports then it is cheating. Lets also say that while they were sheating doing the drugs they were also putting a lot of time, effort, weight lifting, and hand eye coordination to get as good as they were.
If you go by the rules as they are then it is cheating.

In my opinion if an athlete uses steroids to perform better it is just a way of being lazy and not taking the time and effort to train like the rest of the players. Steroids aren't just something you can take and just be done with; they are like an addiction to the mind because you will love the feeling of the power and endurance you get off the steroids. It is a way of cheating yourself in the long run because they are destroying their body.

I think it would be alot better is steroids were never discovered. I do not believe in them at all. All that matters to me is they change your natural given body ,and strength--to me that is wrong if your just competing in a sport.

Aren't professional sports just as interesting without the drug. Ok, you can perform faster better and for a longer time, but a what cost. Is there a safe way to use the hormone? If so at what cost? The body has a balance, if one part of you is 'out of wack' then all of you feels the effects of it. So the overall effect of the hormone in your body would throw you off balance. Without bones you would have no structure, without lungs you would not be able to breath, without lymph nodes you would not be able to filter out all the bad elements that your skin absorbs. So, you have testostorone which is the base of AAS. The 'father' of all the sythetics that are used in the drugs they produce today. This base is produced within the male glands that sorround the male organs(prostate, testies). Creating the right balance for a man to be a man. Yes of course AAS makes you stronger it binds with the muscles and create mass by calling on cells to produce in this specific region(muscles) and much like cancer they grow. The adverse effects of the hormone are overproduction, so yes your muscles are larger, so the balance is taking away from another part of your body, decreased size of the main sex organ and increase in the balancer your prostate. Since women dont possess these attributes, they suffer from an increase in the opposite organ (clitoris) and some also have growth in the laryngeal prominence (Admas Apple) that is apart of voice development for men, thus affecting the quality of a womans voice.
Naturally produced hormones are present in all humans both testoserone and progesterone/estrogen. So these are also apiece of that puzzle. Yes, AAS use for atheletes is wrong it will decrease bone mass by using the proteins needed to strengthen bones for increased production of muscle thus the athelete will have a shorter career, maybe because of injurys that will not heal or because of liver disease.

i feel that steroids are very useless and dangerous, but to atletes and people that want to gain muscle it sounds sweet, but to people who know what it can really do to you they degree. personally yea its dangerous and very harmful but so is every drug i in its own way. many people take drugs for many different reason. yes its cheating and its very wrong. but people are going to do it regardless. just think on the bright side of it, you'r one less person doing steriods.
