Steroids

Anabolic steroids help men develop a somewhat false physique. They take steroids to help them buff up because they can't do it alone. If they can't get to the size they want without drugs then it's not meant to be. Taking drugs to help get more muscle is not good. Weak arguments could be in defense of not using anabolic steroids since the video has evidence that the side effects of steroids on people's health has either been nothing or very low. The video fails to address the mental side effects of steroids on men. Steroids may not have any health side effects but could drastically affect one's state of mind. Steroids could make someone do things that they know are wrong but can't help it because they have not control. I don't think that steroids can be used responsibly because it seems like once someone starts using steroids it is extremely hard for them to stop using them without medical and professional intervention.

I think steroid use is very wrong and testing athletes for them is very smart. I think that all athletes should be tested for steroids and it is very good that they are starting to test everyone and not just professional athletes. I think it's a great idea that people are starting to test high school athletes. If high school athletes are tested, a potential bad and life-threatening habit could be detected early. And this habit could be broken before it's too late. There should be different standards for high school athletes and professional athletes, because of the level of intensity that the sport is being played at, although both types of athletes are old and smart enough to know that steroids are bad for a person's body. Steroid standards shouldn't be different for sports. Using steroids not matter what sport a person plays is bad and there should be no room for lenience.

I think that steroid use is an expected manifestation to be the best rather than merely do our best. Society expects male athletes to be bigg and buff. They expect them to have a lot muscle and to look good. This idea also goes along with the society's view of women that skinny is beautiful and nothing else is acceptable. So I do believe taht we are creating a double standard for men. Like I said before men are expected to big and buff and if they aren't they get criticized but on the other hand once it is found out that they are using steroids, they get criticized again.
