Anabolic steroids can have many effects that may surprise people. They can be life threatening and anyone who reads this page will know why. Anabolic steroids can do many things to mess up the regular growth of a human. Using these steroids might be an advantage for a few days, but will kill or hurt you in the end. They can do many horrible things such as cause acne, heart disease, high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol changes, blood clots, stroke, jaundice, liver cancer, headaches, aching joints, muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and sleep problems. Anabolic steroids have ended many sport careers for many people and still do today. If you use them they could be deadly and when stacked the risks become even greater. Anabolic steroids have been banned from baseball since 1971. Now there are tests to check for steroids in players and this has helped the usage of anabolic steroids decrease. Anabolic steroids have a devastating effect on communities all over the world. Throughout their existence as a muscle-enhancing drug for humans, from the 1930's to present, they have caused miserable side effects. The first athletes that people believe to have used steroids were Russia's weight lifting team in the Olympics many years ago. The crowd at the Olympics was awed at their giant muscles. From then on, steroids have sprouted through many communities not only as a performance-enhancing drug but a way for men and sometimes women to look “good.” of course they never consider the fact that there are horrible side effects that make you worse than you currently were. Although these steroids are big in the United States, the majority of them are made in legal pharmacies in Mexico! In 2006, the DEA, the Drug Enforcement Agency, made many arrests and raided many BALCO laboratories, finding out that BALCO was actually a phony company supplying U.S. citizens with steroids. Throughout the world, Anabolic steroids are also being bought over the Internet. Throughout the existence of this drug (and computers), buying steroids through the Internet has been the most popular form of buying steroids. Steroids have been a hot item to buy for a long time, and they will continue to unless someone finds a useful solution.

Anabolic steroids are extremely dangerous and no one should use them for any reason, except if a doctor recommends the usage of them. They have way more risks then advantages and ruin sports by cheating and causing health problems that may affect their future athletic career. Athletic players thin they are gaining a better sports career, but they are really destroying their future careers and their future life. The bottom line is that if you use steroids you will get hurt.
