The Use of Steroids in Sport and in General

The subject of taking steroids remains very controversial, not least because of the original sports users such as Ben Johnson and Barry Bonds, but my aim is not so much to focus on the people in pro-sport who have used steroids. Granted in Pro-sports they did cheat because it was against other athletes who were clean, but when you take steroids to enhance physical aspects and for your own self improvement is it such a bad thing.

In many countries it is illegal so for many reader that automatically sounds their opinion, but where i live that is not so. So in my opinion i cant seem to find reason why it is bad,this doesn’t mean there aren’t reasons i suppose it just means i cant find reasons why it is bad to take them under the correct motive and research.

The aspect of people struggling to understand why they would take body enhancing drugs when they are so infamously dangerous remains prominent, but under the correct research and with the anti estrogen’s needed the side effects can often be minimal.

Also the word cheating is thrown around alot, but is it really cheating if its for your own use, and it does not mean that hard work isn’t needed, hours at the gym and money and time is committed to the diet. So to an extent it is a mere catalyst to the hard work already being produced.

In sport after the use of steroids you may compete again in 4 month, but i believe this is wrong. Although i believe steroids are fine for personal use i think in sport it should be a permanent ban, as even after 4 month if you work hard the strength and athletic desired characteristics are still prominent.

From this article i don’t feel i wanted to side with either view on steroids despite the fact i feel i did, however i did want to open the ideas of further discussion to people who seem to be one sided and opinionated, and possible break the mould of steroids being a great taboo portrayed by the media in this short article.
