Athletes- Steroids
Athletes want drugs that they can take during training to increase muscle mass and strength, and they prefer drugs that are either legal or undetectable at the time of performance (or testing). Anabolic Steroids was probably the first steroid to enhance players performance. Anabolic steroids are used to build up players muscles and it sometimes affects there playing. Now today they are even used in high schools. Athletes 5- 15 take them now. How they increase muscle size? Strength increases less than muscle size because testosterone can cause fluid retention. It swells the muscles without making them stronger. Dangerous side effects of steridos are strains and tears of the tendons and ligaments connected to the muscle. The final thing that it can effect is the heart. I think that steroids should not be used by professinaol or high school sports players. If they do I think they should have to sit out for a whole season.

I think that high school students shouldn't use them either. Kids are effecting theirs lives if using them and should think before they do them. I agree that students should have to sit the bench if they use them, bceuase then they are seeing everyone play and think twice next time.
