Steroids

Filed under: Steroid Basics — Tags: , , — Dean @ 12:04 am

Many athletes have had controversies and scandals in their fields of sports for using steroids within or during their competitions.

But what are steroids? These are drugs that are prescribed for certain diseases or disorders; and classified as anabolic (or anabolic-androgenic) and corticosteroids. Corticosteroids , for example cortisone, are drugs that doctors usually prescribe to help to manage swelling in the body.

Why do athletes use steroids? Anabolic steroids are manmade hormones that will help the body’s capability to supply muscle and forestall muscle breakdown. Some sportsmen take steroids in the hopes that they’re going to improve their power to run quicker, hit further, lift heavier weights, jump higher, or have more endurance. In the US, it is against the law to use anabolic steroids without seeing a doctor.

What kind of steroids do athletes use? It’s androstenedione, or “andro,” a sort of anabolic steroid taken by sportsmen who need to create muscle. But research means that andro taken in big doses each day can seriously increase levels of testosterone, which can cause a number of health issues.
