Anabolic Steroids

Anabolic steroids are like synthetic hormones that have the ability to boost your body's processes in order to gain more muscle mass faster and prevent muscle breakdown along the way. As such, some athletes have turned to anabolic steroids to improve their game (to hit farther, run faster, lift heavier weights, and have more endurance). But steroid use is banned by professional sporting associations because it gives users unfair advantages over their opponents. At the same time, using steroid medications without a prescription is considered illegal in the USA.
