Dont Use Anabolic Steroids To Cheat in Sports
The sporting industry is a million dollar industry, and many athletes go to great lengths to enhance their performance in order to give their best in the field. This is one reason why the intake of steroid has risen in recent times, and why the testing prior to an event includes testing for drug and steroid abuse. This protects athletes from using unfair means to increase their performance.
"Anabolic Steroids," is one popular performance boosting steroid, and apart from this several other common brand names for this are Dianabol, Deca Durabolin, and Sustanon.
Anabolic steroids actually work in a similar way as androgenic hormones like testosterone do. as our hormones give us energy and strength, these thus assist weight gain, muscle building, swiftness, and endurance in the sports ground. These types of drugs are very frequently used in sports including weight lifting and field events. Despite their popularity, these are very contentious drugs and scientists are not sure of whether or not they really help boost performance.
Apart from that, athletes that consume these swear by them and insist that their increased performance is due to the steroid use.
One of the reasons behind the dissimilarity in these opinions is the "placebo effect". As athletes think that the drug will assist them in recuperating their performance, they put in more effort into their game and consequently do better. One more reason is that the testing is carried out by using much lower amounts of drugs as compared to what is normally consumed by athletes.
These drugs work by means of testosterone which is the hormone that helps male human beings develop during their puberty and adolescence stages. Testosterone brings about changes in sexual features caused due to the androgenic properties which includes but is not limited to hair growth, penile growth, amplified aggressiveness, and minor characteristics such as growth in muscle density, bone building, etc which is the result of the anabolic properties of testosterone.
Anabolic steroids imitate these changes while trying to bring down the androgenic effects and having just the anabolic properties play a role (thus the name), but this is not entirely possible and this causes harmful side-effects in the athletes who use these steroids.
With the increase in the amount of testosterone, the most prevalent side effect in males is unproductiveness where the body stops generating testosterone on its own to recompense for the amount being taken in through the drugs. These steroids will also cause liver damage, cholesterol build up, and growth of breast tissue in males.
One more side effect of this is rise in aggressiveness. In women, the testosterone results in increase in facial hair, changes in the menstrual cycle, and deepening of the voice.
These drugs may be taken orally, via injections, or via creams and gels. Dosages taken by athletes are extremely high, and generally well over one hundred times greater than the suggested dosages.
Usually athletes consume two different kinds of the drug simultaneously to get enhanced results, starting from lesser dosages and increasing these for twelve weeks following which they decrease them back to a lesser level. This is supposed to help the body become use to the drugs.
