I don't doubt that steroid use in sports is a wrong thing to do, sports are about fair play, not about cheating. Still the very use of steroids in sports caused people to have a wrong image about steroids. These substances are not harmful, they are not designed to be abused, they are designed for specific health conditions.

Amen, brother! From a competitive powerlifter's standpoint, one who uses anabolic steroids, I can tell you firsthand that steroids have helped me tremendously in making progress and moving consistently past sticking points in my training. I take testosterone and deca-durabolin along with a responsible eating and training program. I HAVE had my bloodwork done, and I have not had any negative side effects, apart from a small patch of acne on my back. No testicle shrinkage, no high blood pressure or cholesterol, no hair loss or strange hair growth, no depression, no moodswings. Rather than outlawing steroids as a result of mass confusion, I would much rather see a campaign to educate the public on the responsible use of these excellent, powerful, and helpful drugs.
