Just like any drug steroids have a positive and negative influence on the body in sports. Steroids of this kind are called Anabolic Steroids. Steroids have been around since the early 1930s since then steroids have been common to The Olympics and professional sports. Just After World War II steroids started to increase and be taken into sports. It became many athletes daily routine to dope up before a game. It use to be that steroids never had positive effects on the body now today we find that times have changed. Many believed steroids are only bad for the body but in my research it could go both ways. According to Lemouse a writer for the Health Guidance “Among other things the positive effects of steroids include increased muscle mass, tissue repair, endurance and fat loss”. There’s a lot in sports when your in competition it’s all about who’s the strongest or has the most endurance in most sports. On the other hand “Both men and women might experience severe acne, high blood pressure, aggressive behaviors, rage or violence, Infections or diseases such as HIV or hepatitis” as stated by the Mayo Clinic Staff. All the muscle won’t mean anything if your battling for your life later not able to play the sport you like or love. The local issue of the drug steroids in sports mainly starts in colleges. The Global issue start when you get to the Pro’s. Such as the NBA,NFL,MLB,WWE,and The Olympics etc. Many say steroids have a negative effect on the body in sports. L.
