I borrowed this from a Drug Free Org.

What are the Health Risks

Performance enhancing substances are not limited to just anabolic androgenic steroids. Other performance enhancing substances include, but are not limited to, Stimulants such as Amphetamines and Ephedrine, Human Growth Hormone (“HGH”) and testosterone among others. So what’s the risk with taking performance enhancing substances? There are many. First and foremost, there are dangerous short and long-term side effects. Whether a performance enhancing substance is purchased over-the-counter or illegally is irrelevant; their toll on the body could be deadly. Other consequences of using performance enhancing substances include sanctions from sports governing bodies, loss of past awards and titles, being banned from participating in your sport, and facing public shame and humiliation from being labeled a cheater.

Performance enhancing substances are especially dangerous for teens because their bodies are still developing. Teens who choose to use performance enhancing substances might see changes in their physical appearance, but they may also experience severe physical side effects like stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, muscle cramps, and mood swings. Use of many performance enhancing substances can also lead to serious kidney, liver, and heart problems.

When considering whether or not to use a performance enhancing substance, it is important to remember the value in healthy competition. Winning isn’t everything, especially when you are risking your health and reputation to get ahead. Even if you’re using a legal performance enhancing substance, you are still putting your health and body at risk. Parents should know the facts about performance enhancing substances so that they can have an educated conversation with their teen about the dangers and consequences of using these substances.

You know what? I am done doing steroids. I won’t promote any type of anabolic anymore. I AM A CHANGED MAN! Hahahahahahahahahaha. Are these people serious, I came across the page because it was a few articles below my blog about High School Steroid Use, and to be honest i could come up with better reasons why people shouldn’t use steroids and OTC Performance Enhancing Drugs, and I’m for steroid use, so that doesn’t say much for them. We do agree on one thing, teenagers should not use any of the above. I think you should wait until your at least 21 maybe older. But that is where the similarities end. They compare OTC supplements to anabolic steroids, are you kidding me? How clueless do you have to be to make such a connection. These type of sites are filled with such fluff and bullshit, that I feel like I have to be both sides of the argument. Such sites rely on the negative stigma that steroids carry, and because of this they feel they don’t have to put up an argument. Any semi educated person can realize that there are huge holes in their story. Yes, steroids can be very dangerous if abused ( like almost anything else), but can be very safe if used properly. I just don’t understand how the “The Steroids Are Bad” bandwagon got so big without any real knowledge of steroids. Like with cigarettes, they cause cancer, and yet they are still legal and millions smoke. There are several studies showing all the bad side effects, and it is one of the biggest businesses in this country. Yet the anti-steroid movement is backed by fiction and “After School Specials”, and we have politicians jumping on board, and no one stands up for the steroid users. If you want to say steroids are oh so dangerous, that is fine, but do some research and come back with a coherent statement and then maybe we will get somewhere. And it is not just this site. I have read through a hundred different sites, and all state that there are terrible long and short term side effects. But what are these side effects and what studies back up your points. Just saying steroids are bad just isn’t an educated argument, my 3 year old niece could come up with something better. So I will leave you with these few words, steroids have many recreational and medical positives, and with proper research and education there is no telling what ailments and physical hindrance’s we could overcome, but everyone has to get on board or no one wins.
