Steroids
Steroids use is dangerous to your life and health.
With more and more people participating in social networking and the
pressure on males to be buff, some have turned to steroids as a
shortcut. Athletes have illegally used steroids as well. However,
this is a dangerous practice to all who use steroids. Some
researchers believe steroids shrinks the size of the penis, causes
impotence and other sexual dysfunction problems.
Steroids also wreaks havoc on the organs,
particularly the heart. This leads to fatal heart attacks. Many
wrestlers have died fairly young from steroids use. Every few months
there is a new headline about a wrestler dying way younger than the
average person. The wrestling industry does not test enough for
steroids usage, which is killing its stars. Athletes in other sports
have used steroids and been caught via tests, leading to extensive
damage to their careers and finances. I implore those of you
taking steroids to get off them now, lest an unexpected test from a
regulatory sports entity damages your career with a lengthy ban and
loss of endorsements.
Stop using steroids. Bulk up the natural way with
increased caloric intake of lean protein and healthy carbs, combined
with a good weightlifting regimen. Train hard and dedicate yourself
to a good program. You can do well without steroids. Leave it alone.
Steroids will shorten your life. The damage they do is often
irreversible and not worth it in the long-term for what you perceive
you have gained the short-term.
Side Bar: an article on the Reuters website
recently stated certain types of beef are causing athletes to test
positive for steroids. As a result, the Mexican national team is
avoiding all beef for the World Cup.
Side Bar 2: Teams/companies in all sports
should regularly test their own athletes to make sure there are no
surprises and that if a problem accidentally occurs, due to third
party contamination (such as beef or someone sabotaging your
athlete), they can quickly find the source of the problem and
rectify it.
