With the world getting divided between proposed legality of steroids in sports, it is high time that people start getting aware about steroids. Even today, many people feel that steroids are harmful for health but the truth is that steroids are not dangerous for health. It is only the user who makes them advantageous or dangerous. While a qualified medical advice guided usage can prove to be beneficial, an uninformed usage of steroids can lead to health ailments. This is the reason why there needs to a conscience effort to spread information about steroids so that potential users can understand the pros and cons of steroids and how to reap optimum benefits from them.

From Npr.org:

Norman Fost, professor of pediatrics and bioethics at the University of Wisconsin, says: “I ask you in the audience to quickly name, in your own minds, a single elite athlete who’s had a stroke or a heart attack while playing sports. It’s hard to come up with one. Anabolic steroids do have undesirable side effects: acne, baldness, voice changes … infertility. But sport itself is far more dangerous, and we don’t prohibit it. The number of deaths from playing professional football and college football are 50 to 100 times higher than even the wild exaggerations about steroids. More people have died playing baseball than have died of steroid use.”

If we have a close look at modern day sporting environments, one can easily conclude that steroids have helped and helping professional sportsmen to think beyond previously self-created mind hurdles. This is the reason why steroids have been able to gain and maintain popularity like never-before in the last few years. And, believe it or not, steroids are here to stay and separating steroids and sports is just not unthinkable.
