People will get quick results when using properly. Many people do not think that they should be legalized because of the side effects of using them. On the other hand many people also think that they should be legalized because of the quick results they create. Much like smoking, steroids have side effects, but if people are will to take the risk, why not legalize steroids. Steroids are a compound that helps regulate various bodily functions.
December 2001, Mr. Hernandez, plaintiff, tested positive for Hepatitis C (HVC) AND exposure to Hepatitis A and B. He was referred to Dr. Suleima Hindi, who specializes in diseases of the liver and digestive tract. Dr. Hindi diagnoses Hernandez with HVC and prescribes a combo of PEG-intron/Rebetol manufactured by Schering, which is an oral medication with the best results in treating HVC. This medicine was prescribed because it had been on the market the longest and was prescribed more frequently. Dr. Hindi also advised his patient to attend an education class on the medication sponsored by Schering.

To tell the truth, steroids just like pretty much everything else in this world, have pros and cons to it. To some athletes the pros outweigh the cons so they take steroids. For others it is the opposite. I am one of the others, I believe the cons outweigh the pros and athletes should not use steroids. People have heard of steroids and some of them know what they are or have a clue to what they are, but some just have no idea.
Should athletes be allowed to take drugs to enhance their performance, providing the drugs do no long- term damage to their bodies. Athletes are willing to pay a heavy price to achieve their ultimate goal in their chosen sport. They put in a lot of time, dedication, and practice to be the best in their field. Many modern day athletes are seen as celebrities as they reach the peak of their sporting career, but if they use performance enhancing drugs to get to this level it is frowned upon by society. This essay examines performance enhancing drugs and should they be allowed in sports.
It is clear that allowing pharmaceutical companies to act in their self-interest with less government regulation and controlled drug approval process the patients would benefit more. As Thomas Paine once said, “Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” Today in our society there are tons of people wishing and hoping that a new drug will be introduced that will help cure or assist with their diseases. The drug approval process simply takes to long and creates drugs that are completely overpriced to the point of where once they are finally released they can become unaffordable to those in need. It is clear through pharmaceutical consumer
What some people don’t know is that some supplements change into illegal steroids once their consumed. Some athletes don’t know where to stop so they keep consuming the P.E.D and one day either pass out or even worst and can result into death. The supplements are very easy to buy and you can get them about anywhere. International people outside of the U.S. buy them here at times and bring them back to their countries and end up being distributers out there. Athletes like Alex Rodriguez were drawn into them like Michael Jordan’s latest shoe.
Now performance-enhancing drugs are being used more then ever by athletes to improve their athletic abilities. Athletes also use steroids because they want to be the best in the sport that they participate in. Even non-athletes are using steroids because they want to gain more muscle without doing all the work. The use of steroids is cheating. Through looking at the effects of performance-enhancing drugs, the unfair advantage they give a player, and the affects they cause others and sports they should be banned completely from the world of athletics.
I believe that no athlete should risk his or her health by taking anabolic steroids just to be a better athlete. Anabolic steroids have benefits, but the benefits are outweighed by the side effects. Steroids have both detrimental short term and long term side effects. One short term effect is that the skin has an oily appearance and may be accompanied by the development of acne. Other short
Some researchers say as far back as “6000 years ago when herders started noticing changes in castrated animals.” (Dotson & Brown, 2007) “In the mid-1800s, the effects of castration were directly related to a testicular substance.” (Dotson & Brown, 2007) “The prohormone and testosterone precursor androstenedione was in 1938.” (“The history of,” “n.d.”) Although recognized by the Health Organization of the League of Nations as a performance enhancer, it would be nearly 60 years before “andro” (“The history of,” “n.d.”) was discussed again. American athlete’s like “Mark McGuire” (“The history of,””n.d”), Barry Bonds, and Alex Rodriquez have brought steroid use out in the open. There has been some “speculation that German athletes used testosterone when competing in the 1936 Olympic Games.” (“The history of,” “n.d.”) The first “commercially available anabolic-androgenic steroid was made available in 1958 in the United States,” ("The history of," “n.d.”) it was called: methandrostenolone. Abuse of anabolic-androgenic steroids was rampant and has been evident at every Olympic Games since the 1960s. “Professional and collegiate sports start to get involved with this abuse and dosages of the steroid began to increase well beyond the therapeutic level” (Kicman, 2008).
