Paper Abstract: Biological dangers of muscle-building drug. Chemical factors, physical effects, history, legitimate uses, impact on athletic performance, psychological aspects. Paper Introduction: Anabolic steroids are quickly becoming a major, world-wide social problem. The problem focuses on the world of sports, but is not limited to that area of society. Examples are rife in the abuse of steroids. A Florida newspaper reported the tragic effects of a teen-age boy who wanted to become "more muscular" and bought steroids from a local pharmacy--later to find that the abuse of the drug caused impotency. Other reports show people injecting solutions meant to build up show horses, presumably to help them place higher in bodybuilding competitions. A more typical example of steroid abuse is centered in health clubs around the nation, where fitness instructors sell pills to clients who aren't getting "results fast enough." It is estimated that as of 1988 over one million Americans were taking the risk of using anabolic steroids. Some forge Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below.
