It is known that anabolic steroids are often blamed. If a sportsperson or a bodybuilder uses steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs, he/she is considered to be a cheater. Sportswriters report about such sportspersons as about those who have spoiled their reputation. Anti-doping agencies put great efforts and spend money in other to determine whether certain athletes have doped. Even the government wastes taxpayers’ funds and time in order to prove that certain sportspersons have used steroids and/or doping products. It is affirmed that those that dope take unfair advantages during competitions.
Numerous articles describe the war on steroids. But let think whether arguments against application of steroids are strong enough to prove that it is disgraceful to use them.
It is confirmed that steroid-using athletes serve as a bad example for kids and young persons. It is known that youth sees numerous sports stars that use steroids and other related preparations. As a result, young individuals desire to look and be as strong, as these prominent sports figures. Moreover, it is widely disputed about health dangers related to steroids. But if you are attentive, you can see that these arguments are weak because hypocrisy reigns here.
Let examine the most spread arguments against intake of anabolic steroids and/or other related preparations.
According to the first argument, intake of steroids is closely associated with several possible health dangers. Many articles warn about testicular atrophy and enlargement of heart which may occur on account of steroid use. Although it may be true, let analyze our life. We eat unhealthy food, however we know that it destroys our health. Several persons take antidepressants which are also quite dangerous. We do also other unhealthy things.
According to another argument against steroids, steroid-using sportspersons have unfair advantages in competitions. They win because they increase performance with these medications. Let pay attention what happens in other areas, for example, in the world of entertainment. Many actors and actresses improve their appearances and performances in order to play certain roles in movies. They also take unfair advantages over others with the help of several surgeries and other things. But they are not sentenced to bans.
While it is claimed that steroid-using sportspersons send bad messages to young persons that want to look like them and follow their examples, no one mentions about the bad example of actors and actresses. Young girls also desire to look like those they see in magazines.
While federal prosecutors pursue athletes that use steroids, they have nothing to do with actors and actresses that act like steroid-using athletes.
It is clear that arguments against administration of steroids are very weak. They manifest hypocrisy that reigns in our counterfeit world.
