Bodybuilders and athletes often use anabolic steroids to build muscles and improve athletic performance. But using them this way is not legal or safe. Abuse of anabolic steroids has been linked with many health problems. They range from unattractive to life threatening and include
 * __Steroids__**
 * Acne and cysts
 * Breast growth and shrinking of testicles in men
 * Voice deepening and growth of body hair in women
 * Heart problems, including heart attack
 * Liver disease, including cancer
 * Aggressive behavior

Professional athletes in their attempts to over-perform use anabolic steroids. For example, Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson winning the 1988 Olympic 100-meter dash in Seoul to make a new world record, but later stripped of the title when tests revealed that he partook banned steroid, stanozolol. It is seen that people who have suffered physical or sexual abuse in the past often take recourse to the drug with the belief that it will make them look stronger and abler thus discouraging any future attacks. Adolescent youth get a kick out of doing risky things, like driving fast, drinking atrociously and suchlike. They are easily attracted to anabolic steroids' use.

Steroids are used for medical situations too such as:
 * Helping patients gain weight after a severe illness, injury, or continuing infection. They may also be administered when patients do not gain or maintain normal weight because of unexplained medical reasons.
 * Treating certain types of anemia and also some kinds of breast cancer in women.
 * Treating hereditary angioedema that causes swelling of face, arms, legs, throat, windpipe, bowels, or sexual organs.

So... DON'T use steroids for non medical reasons because you will end up with bad side effects and looking very disgusting, as shown at the top of this page.
