Alright you all will get a kick out of this
so I'm in this class at my college called drugs and society. Basically it's an elective that I -correctly- assumed would be a blow off class. Anyways, the class has a message board where the few hundred members can discuss drugs. One of the forums is based on steroids in sports . I thought I'd copy and paste some of the things people have written for you all. enjoy
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some people choose to use steroids , illegally, they not only face trouble
with the law, but they put themselves in a high risk of unpleasant side
effects. Among athletes who have used anabolic ateroids, as well as
some coaches, trainers, and physicians, that steroids will increases lean
muscle mass, strength, and certain kinds of endurance. So mainly it is
not just the players who use anabolic steroids , it is also other people
who, work with the athletes themselves. Studies has not been proven
that steroids alone directly increase muscle mass for athletes in
training, but it may gain due to psychological effects. Within sixteen
trials of steroids as muscle builders, nine trials concluede that steroids
were effective while seven concluded that they were not effective.
Athletes uses the substances aid to recovery from injuries, but not
hard data exists to support that claim. There has been evidence that
steroid use time and time again can impair athletic performance by
causing tendon and ligament damage, abnormal muscle fibers which will
breakdown more easily, and damage to the heart. Since athletes being
using steroids there has been numerous complication of the use which
can have an effect not only on their performance, but on there overall
mental, emotional and physical health.
Injectable anabolics are considered gateway drugs to injectable drug
abuse: A person who becomes accustomed to injecting anabolics will be
more likely to experiment with injecting other drugs than a person who
has never injected anything. This gateway principle applies to other
drugs as well. For example, people who smoke tobacco are more likely
to try smoking marijuana or crack than those who do not smoke at all.
In our society, people do not enjoy injecting themselves with syringes.
Even diabetics learn to do it only with difficulty. A steroid abuser who
becomes accustomed to injecting him- or herself with anabolics has a
higher risk of injecting cocaine or heroin than an illicit drug user who
does not inject.
People sometimes take injections of anabolic steroids to augment oral
dosages, using large-gauge, reusable needles normally obtained
through the black market. If needles are shared, users run the risk of
transmitting or contracting the HIV infection that can lead to AIDS.
Scientists are just beginning to investigate the impact of anabolic
steroids on the mind and behavior. Many athletes report "feeling good"
about themselves while on a steroids regimen. The downside, according
to Harvard researchers, is wide mood swings ranging from periods of
violent, even homicidal, episodes known as "roid rages" to bouts of
depression when the drugs are stopped.
The Harvard study also noted that anabolic steroids users may suffer
from paranoid jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions, and impaired
judgment stemming from feelings of invincibility.

I begin to think that one time, one person wrote something bad on steroids using no information, and everyone else just copied it.

Did Babe Ruth use steroids ? No, he did not. He could hit the long ball
better than anyone in baseball. These steroids scandalls have made the
home run records nul and void all the way back to Ruth. The "Babe" hit
home runs naturally not like these juice injecting performance junkies.
It is morally wrong to consider these guys as baseball greats when they
need something extra to assist them in achieving greatness. I believe
that their stats should not be counted and baseball return to its former
records. If they are counted it would be a mockery to America's
favorite past time.You bet its cheating. There is black and white to be found in this subject. If you look on
someone else's test or copy someone else's homework and turn it in as your own, it is
cheating even though you didn't get caught. It gives you an advantage that you didn't
earn. These ball players are taking a drug improves performance beyond what they by
themselves earned. That's like looking on someone else's test. Cheating.
Steriods have been linked to some of the worse side affects that you can believe, heart
failure, testicular shrinkage, growing breast in men and many kinds of cancer. All these
health defects are well documented. Athletes say it is for the money and thier familie's
furtures. How can you think of your families future when you might be signing your own
death warrant? Not only are you putting yourself at risk you're also showing every kid
that it is ok to behave this way. What do you think Lyle Alzado would feel like, if right
before he died of brain cancer from steriods, that his son was juicing too?
Steriods will make you faster and stronger and that is always good in sports, but if that
was all there was to it all the boys at the WWF would be jacking 600 ft. bombs not
running around in speedos and living a soap opera.

just when I thought they were finished
I think that steroids are stupid. I do not believe that someone should take steroids to
inhance their performance and strength. These drugs not only increase strength but they
can also increase aggressiveness. Steroids also supress peoples own body's natural
production of testosterone . This can also lead to more feminine characteristics, such as
breasts. I think that someone should gain their strength from within and by themselves. I
think its so gross to know guys who take steroids and i feel pity for them. Its like they
have no self-esteem or theyre just lazy and cant do it on their own. Also, it is very
obvious when someone is on steroids and i think their body looks abnormal and
deformed.
Throughout the semester we have learned of different drugs and steriods seems to have been an issue in class discussion and (MEDIA). Well how does everyone get these "Enhanced performances" or Juice? I have encountered many different types of steriods,,,,,,,,,,what can I say I know people who do them? Does that sound good or would it be better to say that I have been juiced. See people don't really say yeah I do them or I have tried them but i will be honest its out there and I have tried them. What surprises me is how people get these drugs, I know eveyone doesn't get them from Conseco!!!!!!!!! Well I would like to say that before I tried them I was offered juice from many athletes and it amazed me to know that many athlets use them. Another thing that amazes me is how much they cost!!!!!!! The same bottle that was offered to me for $150.00 seem to cost $75.00 across the border of El Paso. I realized the prize after me and couple of friends took a trip across the border. The word was that the same guy was taking trips up to mexico and buying the same thing from the same Pharmacy as my friends and I. But only he was making a profit by selling it double even tripple the amount. My family comes from a small town in mexico, this part of Mexico is found across the Eagle Pass Border and then it finally hit me to ask for the same kind of juice I got at the other pharmacy. Now this is the good part when I was ready to pay with a $100.00 Bill, the man said wow and I replied very confused! "What" He said you don't have a smaller bill I said no, he then Replied "this only cost $ 200 pesos, meaning 20 dollars. I can't beleive how much money was being made with all of this Juice after that purchased I never bought again. Now people have different oppinions about steriod use well its crazy I know and yeah the reality is that people use them. I believe its up to the athlete if he feals like cheating. I believe that the baseball players who used them did wrong. The reason I say that is because I beleive they didn't need to use them. Now people look down on them because the players make it seem like thats why they hit all those homeruns. I believe the same homeruns would have been made except for the ball would have not gone out as fast and as far! So all the athletes just put on a show if you ask me, but isn't that what everyone watches Tv for!!!!!!!!!!!!Last edited by symatech; 05-02-2005 at 12:37 PM.

OMG, thats sad, yet funny at the same time. Clearly they did not do a full research on the subject at hand, talk about a one sided opinion, and an incorrect one at that.

they just keep going....
If you're an athlete, you may hear talk about drugs that are supposed to
give you an edge on the competition. Or maybe you've already tried these
drugs and are wondering what they are and if they're safe. Here's the story.
Steroids What They Are
Anabolic steroids—also called steroids, 'roids, sauce or juice—are synthetic
male hormones that may be taken in pill form or injected. They're illegal in
most states except when prescribed for certain kinds of medical conditions.
That They Do
Steroids increase body weight and muscle mass. They may also improve
your muscular strength and endurance. Sound attractive? Here's what else
they do:
In males, they can cause sterility, impotence and shrunken genitals.
In females, steroids can cause breast reduction, menstrual irregularity,
sterility and development of permanent masculine traits.
In teenagers who have not completed their growth, steroids can cause
premature fusing of bones, resulting in short height. Teenagers also risk
injury due to overdeveloped muscles on an immature frame.
Other effects include acne, bad breath, swelling of the feet, jaundice,
baldness, skin color changes, heart attack, stroke and liver cancer.
Effects on Behavior
What steroids can do to your body isn't the whole story. Steroids can also
cause behavior changes ranging from aggression, hostility and irritability to
psychotic behavior sometimes called "roid rages."
The Price of "Winning"
When thinking about using steroids, consider the price you're willing to pay
to win. What does it mean to win because of a drug instead of because of
hard work and talent? Consider, also, that there's no hard evidence that
steroids actually improve your athletic performance overall. Hard training is
still the most effective way to increase muscle strength and performance.
Getting Help
Steroids are physiologically and psychologically addictive. If you've been
using steroids and would like to stop, get help now. Your future health
depends on it. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a teacher, counselor or
doctor. Or call your local teen hotline, or the National Drug and Alcohol
Treatment Referral Routing Service at 800-662-HELP.
