Drug testing is not sophisticated enough to catch dopers

Lance Armstrong was denying using doping products for years. Although he was accused of taking forbidden medicines numerous times, he continued to claim that he never administered forbidden preparations. Even when the USADA proved that the cyclist doped, he cheated about doping. But ultimately, Lance Armstrong decided to admit to taking EPO, testosterone and blood transfusions.
However many athletes used performance-enhancing drugs and avoided detection successfully, there was something uncommon in the doping case of the legendary American cyclist. The American cyclist achieved great success in sports. He won 7 Tour de France titles. He got also certain other awards. The American cyclist obtained worldwide success. Although he submitted to a lot of drug tests, he never tested positive for any banned preparation.
Undoubtedly, Lance Armstrong is not the only sportsman who has doped. Athletes have applied prohibited preparations during past years. They continue to apply anabolic steroids and other related medicines today. And professional sportspeople will administer them in future. Administration of anabolic steroids and other doping products is spread in professional sports. Almost every athlete applies forbidden preparations. While several athletes test positive for banned medications and receive bans, others avoid detection.
As for the attitude towards Lance Armstrong’s doping, it’s mainly negative. Many persons got significant anger, when the famous cyclist admitted to applying EPO, the steroid testosterone and blood transfusions. Numerous persons believed in him. They thought that Lance Armstrong was “clean”. That’s why their disappointment was significant.
And what is about “clean” sports? Anti-doping officers should think about this issue. While anti-doping officers state that they have sophisticated tests to combat doping in sports, a lot of sportspersons administer anabolic steroids and/or other related medicines and remain undetectable.
While the legendary cyclist has admitted to applying forbidden products, anti-doping officials should realize that their policies are inappropriate.

Steroids without any prescription

Manufacturers of medications are inclined to illegal operations. Numerous companies produce and distribute counterfeit preparations. As a result, users don’t obtain wanted effects. Moreover, counterfeit medicines may cause severe unusual adverse consequences in consumers. In addition to these illegal activities, drug manufacturers also sell prescription medications illegally. Anabolic steroids, HGH, painkillers and other drugs are sold without any prescription. Thus, numerous individuals use these medications for non-medical purposes. Anabolic-androgenic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs are widely administered for athletic purposes. Sportspeople and bodybuilders obtain and apply these drugs in order to enhance muscle mass and add endurance. Numerous individuals want to be more muscular and combat tiredness during workouts and competitions. That’s why they choose to take anabolic-androgenic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. Some other individuals try to look nicer. So, they use some prescription preparations for anti-aging purposes.
Steroids, HGH and other doping products are widely sold at online pharmacies. Several companies even hire corrupt doctors that supply customers with needed prescriptions. These physicians provide prescriptions without needed examination of clients and even without seeing them. Obtaining prescriptions, many persons purchase anabolic steroids and other related drugs and use them for non-medical goals.
Although distribution and administration of anabolic steroids for non-clinical purposes are forbidden under laws of many countries, a lot of pharmacies avoid punishment successfully. While certain pharmacies and persons are found guilty of illegal activities linked with medications, they are rarely punished properly. Furthermore, they continue to produce and distribute steroids illegally.
Another problem linked with illicit manufacture and distribution of steroids and other related medications is following: several pharmacies manufacture products in unsterile conditions. Thus, individuals that use such medicines may be contaminated with certain diseases. Sometimes contamination with a dangerous disease may be fatal for some users. The meningitis outbreak that has recently occurred in the USA is widely known around the world. 39 persons died because they administered tainted steroid injections. Thus, proper officials should monitor manufacture of drugs. If safety is not at the top level, health of users is in a great danger.

FDA failed to use its authority properly

The meningitis outbreak resulted from tainted epidural steroid injections could have been prevented. But since the FDA didn’t utilize its power for this purpose properly, over 500 persons were contaminated with this disease and 39 persons died.
Tennessee officials displayed competence under these circumstances. They were praised by legislators for their definite actions.
It was announced that many individuals that had received steroid injections produced by the NECC experienced complications. When Tennessee health officials found out about this situation, they enforced all health facilities to stop utilizing products manufactured by the compounding pharmacy from Massachusetts. Moreover, they informed immediately about contamination health officials of other states. Actions of Tennessee health officials were quick and definite. They acted with no doubts and did everything in order to prevent further contamination and improve help those that were already contaminated with meningitis.
If Tennessee health officials hadn’t been so decisive and competent, more individuals would have been contaminated with fungal meningitis and more deaths would have occurred.
When it comes to the FDA, it showed incompetence. It didn’t utilize its authority definitely in order to improve the situation. Then it tried to justify its negligence, claiming that its authority was not cleared and established enough to interfere in such large-scale compounding pharmacies, as the NECC. However, legislators didn’t accept the FDA’s excuse.
Tennessee health officials deserve to acquire a gold medal for their efforts.
Although several individuals consider that they could avoid contamination, warnings about risks continue to exist. Numerous individuals are still at the hospital. Others are contracted by health officials. If any adverse symptoms occur at injection sites of those who have administered the tainted steroids, they should inform physicians immediately.

Other medicines produced by NECC could cause infection

It is widely reported about the meningitis outbreak that has occurred in certain states of America. Contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections led to fungal meningitis in over 500 patients. The contamination turned out to be tragic for 39 individuals: they died. The majority of deaths took place in Tennessee.
It was said that contaminated steroid injections had been manufactured by the New England Compounding Center (NECC) that is based in Massachusetts. The FDA tested the pharmacy in order to determine what caused contamination and see the situation at the NECC. It was affirmed by the FDA that the contaminated steroid injections were really manufactured by this company.
According to the Associated Press, the FDA reported that it was evident that preparing of preparations was unsterile at the NECC. The FDA noticed that leaking water and uncontrolled temperature were just several problems at the compounding center. The equipment used for preparing of solution for injections was unsterile.
Furthermore, the FDA stated that there were certain other contaminants. Several bacterial contaminants were found at the compounding center. Although these contaminants were not real pathogens, they were able to result in infection too. These bacterial contaminants were found in such preparations, as Betamethasone and Triamcinolone. There were not any situations reported about contamination resulted from administration of these medications. But it was claimed that these products could also produce contamination. Although the bacterial contaminants presented anywhere in the environment, they had not to be in medicines. This fact pointed at unsterile conditions at the NECC and affirmed that the Methylprednisolone Acetate injections turned out to be contaminated with fungal meningitis because they were manufactured in inappropriate conditions.
The situation made it clear that new rules on compounding pharmacies should be implemented. Contamination should be avoided. Otherwise, public health is in danger in the USA.

Pete Rose doesn’t share his wife’s disappointment

The former baseball player Pete Rose is a reasonable person. He sees own mistakes and don’t blame others for his problems. He is an example for other baseball players who have been dishonored for usage of steroids or other faults.
As for Pete Rose, he was never associated with anabolic steroids. This athlete had significant success while playing baseball professionally. He obtained 3 World Series rings, a MVP award, 3 batting titles, 2 Gold Gloves, etc. However Pete Rose didn’t administer anabolic steroids and other prohibited preparations, he made another mistake. This person bet on baseball games. As a result, he was banned from the Hall of Fame permanently.
Pete Rose hopes that the decision will be altered and he will be elected for the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Being in Cooperstown, Pete Rose’s wife was full of anger. She and her husband, a former successful baseball player, had to watch Hall of Fame festivities like ordinary individuals. While Pete Rose’s wife was too unhappy, the former professional baseball player seemed not to have similar feelings.
Pete Rose says that he has patience. He will continue to wait until he gets the second chance. The sportsperson promises that he will never gamble on games again. He affirms that the second chance will be enough for him to demonstrate that he is a trustworthy person. He will not need to receive the 3rd chance.
Pete Rose tries to urge his wife that he is not in the Hall of Fame due to own behavior. He adds that they shouldn’t demonize others. He is guilty. That’s why he is banned.
Pete Rose acknowledges that he is like Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens and other baseball players related to the steroid era. Pete Rose says that Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds are amazing baseball players that should be elected for the Hall of Fame. He underlines that Roger Clemens hasn’t entered the Baseball Hall of Fame just because of suspicions. This sportsperson hasn’t failed any drug test. You haven’t seen Roger Clemens having anabolic steroids and needles in his hand. That’s why you don’t have any right to affirm that he has administered these drugs. Thus, it is not correct to demonize and punish the famous athlete while lacking proof.

Kimberley Bell, Barry Bonds’ ex mistress appeared in the trial to testify against the sportsman. This woman said that there were significant changes in body of Barry Bonds. She noticed that the baseball player’s head enhanced. Kimberley Bell also mentioned that he had shrunken testicles. Furthermore, he suffered from hair loss and acne.

Kimberley Bell was asked whether steroids were discussed by her and Barry Bonds. Bell said that once Barry Bonds affirmed that he was taking anabolic steroids. The baseball player got an elbow injury around 1999-2000. The injury was too serious, according to Kimberley Bell. Thus, she asked Barry Bonds about the severe injury. The baseball player said that anabolic steroids induced enhancing muscles evidentially and rapidly. As a result, the joint couldn’t handle so rapid and significant growth.
Chris Arguedas, a defense attorney for Barry Bonds, accused Kimberley Bell of attempts to become prominent and make money because of her relations with Barry Bonds. She tried to promote selling a book about her relationships with Barry Bonds.

Tragedy in coach’s family caused troubles for Philadelphia Eagles

Garrett Reid, a son of the coach Andy Reid, was found unconscious at his dormitory room. Although Omar Elkhamra, the team doctor of the Philadelphia Eagles, tried to revive him, the efforts of the doctor turned out to be in vain. The county coroner claimed that this young person (29 years old) died of a heroin overdose.
The death of Garrett Reid was a serious tragedy for the family of the coach. Furthermore, the case caused several problems for the Philadelphia Eagles. The football players had to clear themselves from suspicions connected with usage of steroids. Several anabolic steroids were found by police officers in the dormitory of Garret Reid. Moreover, syringes and needles were found in his possession too. The steroids were identified by police. It was reported that Garrett Reid possessed Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, Boldenone Undecylenate, Testosterone Propionate and Trenbolone Acetate. Since these medicines were found at Garrett Reid’s dormitory room, several suspicions arose. It was noted that the coach’s son probably provided these forbidden preparations to members of the Philadelphia Eagles. So, the death of Garrett Reid turned out to be a trouble for the total sport organization.
Some of steroids revealed at Garrett Reid’ dormitory room are fast-acting. These medicines are commonly liked by athletes that submit to drug testing. Since they are eliminated from the body in short period of time after application, it is more difficult to catch those who have taken these medicines. Thus, it is suspected that such medications must have been taken by players of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Although suspicions are pronounced, it has not been proven that Philadelphia Eagles dope. It was not revealed yet whether steroids were found in the system of Garrett Reid.
The NFL spokesman assured that he would report when it will be clear whether steroids found in Garrett Reid’s room were linked to Philadelphia Eagles.

Ways to stop hair loss while using steroids

Anabolic steroids are widely used in medicine and in bodybuilding and sports. A lot of individuals apply these medications in order to improve their health. These drugs are prescribed to treat certain diseases. Furthermore, many sportspeople and bodybuilders administer steroids in order to increase muscle mass, add strength, restore exercise-damaged muscle tissues, etc. But some persons are not ready to assume certain risks connected with these medicines. It is known that anabolic steroids may lead to some unwanted effects. One of adverse consequences of these products is hair loss. So, several individuals try to avoid administration of anabolic steroids because they don’t want to suffer from this adverse result. Moreover, certain individuals are predisposed to this problem genetically. If they administer some steroids, they may get baldness.
Fortunately, several side results of anabolic steroids may be prevented or at least minimized and treated. As for hair loss, there are certain drugs which can help to prevent this problem. There are also such preparations which have ability to promote re-growth of hair. Those that have to apply steroids may apply certain remedies to prevent hair loss or cause re-growth of hair. Which medicines are useful for this need?
Since hair loss occurs because of increased levels of dihydrotestosterone, several persons take Propecia that blocks dihydrotestosterone and prevents hair loss. But this is not the best product for prevention of hair loss while applying anabolic steroids. Blocking of dihydrotestosterone by this drug may lead to sexual problems.
Rogaine, Retin-A and Lattisse are useful. Rogaine has got FDA’s approval for treatment of hair loss. Rogaine may be taken together with Retin-A or Latisse.

Tammy Thomas, a former American cyclist, took the steroid THG. As a result, she was suspended from professional sports for the whole life.
Tammy Thomas desired to participate in the 2004 Olympics. That’s why the cyclist decided to use steroids to improve her performance and make her dreams related to the Olympics real. But since she was caught administering banned medications, she was not permitted to compete at the Olympic Games.
Tammy Thomas was charged with lying to the Grand Jury. She turned out to be targeted during the BALCO investigation. It was affirmed that Tammy Thomas didn’t say truth about application of anabolic steroids and getting of THG. While she was accused of lying to the Grand Jury, she presented some arguments in order to defend herself against the accusations.
The American cyclist affirmed that she hadn’t used any prohibited preparation. Actually, she said truth. At that time THG was not written on the list of prohibited drugs. It was claimed to be just an unapproved new preparation. THG was elaborated by the chemist Patrick Arnold.
While the BALCO foundation sold THG to numerous sportspersons, it was stated that Tammy Thomas obtained this product from Patrick Arnold. But the female cyclist denied this statement. Finally, she claimed that Patrick Arnold’s former girlfriend supplied her with THG.
The arguments of Tammy Thomas were not accepted. She was given a home detection of 6 months and probation of 5 years.

What do you think about largest arms in world?

The Egyptian bodybuilder Moustafa Ismail has the largest biceps in the world. His name was recorded in the Guinness book of the world records. This guy says that his large biceps are natural. He claims that he has the largest biceps in the world because he has very strict diets and trainings. The Egyptian bodybuilder eats chickens, almonds and fish each day. Moustafa Ismail also consumes much water and protein shakes.
However it is evident that diets and workouts have essential role, many individuals doubt about natural arms of Moustafa Ismail. It is hard to believe that suitable workouts and nutrition can cause such increase in arms. Which factors are responsible for the massive arms of the Egyptian bodybuilder?
When it was published that Moustafa Ismail’s arms were 32 inches, accusations linked with steroid use appeared soon. Some people suppose that anabolic steroids are responsible for the large arms of this guy. What did Moustafa Ismail say about usage of anabolic steroids? He claimed that he had taken anabolic steroids while living in Egypt. Purchase and administration of these products are legal under laws of this country. These products are offered for sale at any pharmacy in Egypt. Furthermore, steroids are cheap there. But Moustafa Ismail said that he had to stop using these drugs, when he moved to the USA. It is know that purchase and usage of these drugs without a prescription are considered to be criminal under laws of the US. These drugs are bought on the black market by those that administer them in the US illegally. So, Moustafa Ismail discontinued applying these drugs after he moved to the USA.
But if even Moustafa Ismail administers anabolic steroids, it doesn’t matter because these products don’t increase arms. They are not responsible for the bodybuilder’s large arms.
There are other remedies that can increase arms. They are called “site enhancement oils” (SEO). Synthol is one of the most often taken SEO. This preparation is administered by bodybuilders. It is administered in order to enhance muscles in circumference. So, it is supposed that Moustafa Ismail administers Synthol. However, the Egyptian bodybuilder claims that he doesn’t use this product.
The bodybuilder affirms that he is hurt by accusations related to anabolic steroids and Synthol. He has been subjected to examination conducted by an independent doctor that hasn’t seen any abnormality in the arms of this person. Thus, it is not clear whether his arms are natural or not.

Melky Cabrera continues his athletic career after ban for steroid use

Usage of steroids and several other products is banned in numerous sports organizations, including the Major League Baseball (MLB). Sportspeople that are caught administering forbidden substances are sentenced to bans, fines, etc. However athletes know about these aspects, many of them continue applying anabolic steroids and/or other prohibited medicines. As a result, certain sportspersons spoil their athletic reputation wholly. Nonetheless, certain sportspeople succeed, if even they are caught by anti-doping officers.
Let take the Dominican baseball player Melky Cabrera as an example. This athlete played baseball for San Francisco Giants. He was considered to be one of the best baseball players. It was believed that he promoted winning evidentially. But after he tested positive for a steroid, he was sentenced to a 50-game suspension.
Melky Cabrera put efforts to modify the decision and appealed it. He tried to prove that a dietary supplement was responsible for his positive. Certain individuals desired to help him in that situation. Thus, a fake site was formed. An advertisement for non-existing supplement was posted. But the trick was unmasked. The athlete had to serve the suspension.
While he was suspended, the San Francisco Giants realized that they could win without him.
Recently Melky Cabrera obtained a $16 million contract. He will play for the Toronto Blue Jays.
 As you see, administration of steroids couldn’t destruct the athletic career of the Dominican baseball player. He continues to play baseball professionally and earn essential sums of money.
This is just an example which displays that usage of forbidden remedies doesn’t destroy athletic careers in some situations.

American baseball coach Mark McGwire gets his celebrity again

Mark McGwire, an American professional baseball player and coach, gets rid of his past related to application of steroids successfully. He gains his popularity again. This person is actively implicated in professional baseball again.
However Mark McGwire comprehends that he doesn’t have any chance to be introduced into the Hall of Fame, he doesn’t become disappointed. He continues to like baseball.
St. Louis Cardinals were coached by Mark McGwire two seasons. Then Mark McGwire intended to stop coaching this team because he wants to spend more time with his family. Luckily, Mark McGwire will not leave professional baseball in order to have more time for his family. The Los Angeles Dodgers asked Mark McGwire to coach them. Mark McGwire agreed. Coaching this team will not disturb this person to spend sufficient time with his wife and children because he it takes for him just an hour in order to drive from his home to the Dodgers Stadium.
Mark McGwire spoiled his reputation because he had used steroids. After the American baseball player and coach was found guilty of doping he didn’t desire to comment anything about these preparations. However journalists asked him about application of steroids by him and other baseball players, Mark McGwire refused to answer these questions. He affirmed that statements about usage of steroids by other sportspersons could jeopardize his family and friends.  
Finally the American baseball player and coach admitted to using banned medicines. He noticed that he made an immense mistake, using these remedies. Mark McGwire acknowledged that he didn’t act properly. He apologized for violation of anti-doping policy. Then this athlete and coach was allowed to come back to professional baseball. Thus, he started to restore his reputation that was spoiled because of the mistake linked with intake of banned substances.

ITF added some drug tests

David Howman expresses his attitude to anti-doping systems in certain sports organizations. While the director general of the WADA is happy with jobs of certain sports organizations, he claims that anti-doping policies in other leagues/teams are not appropriate.
For example, David Howman praises the International Tennis Federation (ITF) for its anti-doping policy. The director general of the WADA notes that anti-doping system is appropriate in tennis.
But as for the National Basketball Association (NBA), it doesn’t agree to adopt its anti-doping policy to that of the WADA. It doesn’t agree to add certain new drug tests in order to catch those that take steroids and/or other banned medications. That’s why David Howman confirms that the anti-doping system of the NBA is not good enough to catch those who dope. He states that the NBA should add more sophisticated new methods as well.
The director general of the WADA says that drug tests conducted in tennis have high quality. But there is a defect in tennis’ anti-doping policy. Numerous tests take place during competitions. But few tests are conducted out-of-competition. That’s why ITF’s anti-doping system is also criticized.
Undoubtedly, nobody can affirm that anti-doping policy of ITF is perfect. It has some lacks too. But it is quite adequate.
So, you should not think that tennis is clean from doping wholly. Certain tennis players probably apply steroids and/or related products. But it is not as tainted, as some other sports.
 Only one tennis player was banned for application of prohibited substances. However it seems to prove that tennis is not tainted, it is important to consider that there are some ways to avoid positives. As you probably know, the cyclist Lance Armstrong used steroids and other related drugs and avoided detection much time. Couldn’t tennis players dope and use the same methods?

Avoid exceeding speed while having steroids in your car!

Certain bodybuilders are caught possessing anabolic steroids and other illegal medications because they make certain mistakes while possessing these preparations. For example, a bodybuilder intends to apply doping products. He finds a trustworthy online drug store and orders certain medications. Then he pays for these medicines. The products are shipped. The bodybuilder goes to a post office and takes the package that contains the medications which have been ordered by him. It seems to him that everything is successful. The package has not been intercepted. The drugs have not been seized. This man takes the drugs and goes home.
Undoubtedly, this man can’t wait until he arrives home to begin his cycle with these drugs. He desires to be at home, take the drugs and look in the mirror and see wanted results. Thinking about potential effects and improvement of appearance, this bodybuilder violates traffic rules. He exceeds speed because he wants to be at home sooner. Moreover, this man has another problem. He has a suspended driver’s license. When policemen see that he has violated any traffic rule, they stop him. The police officers learn that this man has a suspended driver’s license. They search the vehicle. So, the policemen find that this person possesses steroids and other illegal preparations. This person gets legal troubles. His hope doesn’t become real. He gets problems instead of wanted effects.
 Let take Michael Vazquez of Kenmore (New York) as an example. This person had a suspended driver’s license while violating traffic rules and possessing steroids. Thus, he got legitimate problems. Since he violated certain traffic laws, he was stopped by policemen that saw that he had a suspended driver’s license. When they searched this person’s car, they found that this person possessed steroids, needles and syringes.
So, if you possess steroids and/or other related medicines while driving your car, don’t make common mistakes! Don’t violate traffic rules! Don’t drive with a suspended driver’s license! Thus, you can avoid legal problems.

Steroid user killed his friend’s daughter

Audrey Allen, an 18-month old child, was killed by Joshua Allen Kruzik.
The little girl was murdered because she cried in the middle of the night. Joshua Allen Kruzik, an US marine, a friend of Audrey Allen’s parents, decided to spend weekends at their friends’ home. Before he came to them, he was at a local bar where he consumed much alcohol. He had to care about the little child, when she cried. But Joshua Allen Kruzik beat the little girl very cruelly. As a result, the baby got multiple serious head injuries. The little girl died at a local hospital.
David Kohn, the defense attorney for Joshua Allen Kruzik, confirmed that steroids were responsible for the aggression of his client. It was stated that the murderer administered anabolic steroids. Before the incident he attempted to discontinue applying these medications but he couldn’t do it. David Kohn affirmed that anabolic steroids caused “roid rage” in Joshua Allen Kruzik. He couldn’t not control his behavior and beat the little girl. According to the defense attorney, Kruzik was unconscious. However he confirmed that his client was ready to assume the total responsibility, he added that he was not guilty.
The victim’s parents also said that the murderer used anabolic steroids. The mother of the little girl affirmed that she had syringes at her home. Thus, she injected Kruzik with steroids, when he came. Certain other individuals also claimed that he took steroids.
It is strange that anabolic steroids are blamed in this case. Are these drugs responsible for the crime? Take in consideration that Kruzen has been drunk, when he has beat the baby!
It is not clear whether the juries will accept the steroid excuse.

Wikipedia is guide of feds on steroids

Federal prosecutors don’t have sufficient knowledge about anabolic steroids, however they pursue those that manufacture, administer and/or sell these preparations. They don’t study scientific literature about these medicines. The government uses information which is provided in Wikipedia. Although federal prosecutors speak about undesirable consequences of steroids, they don’t know about these conditions sufficiently. Citing statements about steroids provided in Wikipedia, they punish consumers/manufacturers/distributors of these drugs, confirming that these medicines represent evil.
Certain important questions appear here: Is it correct to base upon statements presented in Wikipedia in such cases? Are these affirmations true? Aren’t they exposed to manipulations? Aren’t they mixed with individual opinions of sponsors?
Maurice Hall, the associate professor of communication and culture at Villanova University, says that it is not reasonable to base wholly upon statements written in Wikipedia. He claims that Wikipedia serves a good guide for footnotes. But information presented in Wikipedia may be not true entirely.
For example, when John Isaac Hudelson was sentenced to prison, federal prosecutors based their conclusions linked with illegal operations of this person upon affirmations cited from Wikipedia. Federal prosecutors affirmed that Hudelson deserved to serve 47-54 months in prison because he applied and distributed steroids. Stephen Greubel, the defense attorney for Hudelson, argued that 47-54 months in jail were too much for his client. He noted that Hudelson distributed steroids, preparations which differed from such drugs, as amphetamine, methamphetamine, codeine, morphine, etc. The defense attorney noticed that steroids didn’t lead to addiction.
Federal prosecutors confirmed that John Isaac Hudelson manufactured, applied and distributed steroids to his friends. They confirmed that while steroids didn’t cause addiction, desire to be muscular could be addictive. Moreover, they added that steroids could lead to severe adverse results. All statements of feds were based upon those written in Wikipedia.
Finally, the government sent Isaac John Hudelson to 37 months in prison.

Steroid use for medical and athletic needs

There are three groups of steroids: corticosteroids, estrogens and progestogens, and anabolic-androgenic steroids.
Nature of corticosteroids is similar to that of hormones produced in the adrenal cortex. Corticosteroids may be in form of creams, ointment, inhalation preparations, etc. They are taken to treat inflammations, allergic reactions, diseases of respiratory, nervous, musculoskeletal and other systems.
Estrogens and progestogens represent female sex hormones. These compounds promote developing female secondary features. Birth control pills contain these substances.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids represent products which are also widely utilized in medicine. They can treat several types of breast cancer, testicular cancer, anemia, etc. These drugs are often prescribed to get better and faster recovery after several operations. Burn victims, persons with HIV/AIDS administer anabolic-androgenic steroids in order to prevent muscle wasting. Some steroids are also prescribed for treatment of osteoporosis. These medications are also prescribed for treatment of infertility.
Moreover, anabolic-androgenic steroids are applied for athletic needs. These products can create muscles and increase strength. That’s why a lot of athletes and bodybuilders administer them for performance-enhancing effects. Some anabolic-androgenic steroids are able also to burn fat, making muscles distinctive.
Intake of anabolic-androgenic steroids for non-therapeutic needs is forbidden under laws of some countries. Those who manufacture, sell, buy and use these products illegally may be sentenced to prison and/or fines. These medicines belong to illicit preparations in several countries because they may lead to different adverse reactions. While certain unwanted effects are insignificant and disappear after discontinuation of application, others are sever and even irreversible. Those that desire to obtain positive effects, using steroids for clinical purposes, should apply these preparations under recommendations of doctors.

Steroid dealers should be punished more harshly

However it is illegal to distribute anabolic steroids in some countries, several steroid dealers are not sanctioned appropriately. For example, recently two individuals who sold steroids illegally didn’t go to jail. They were sentenced only to work several hours. However these individuals advertised and sold steroids online, they avoided prison successfully. These individuals distributed products that could destroy health of users. That’s why they had to be sanctioned more harshly.
A lot of consumers of steroids don’t know anything about risks connected with them. They don’t know that intake of steroids may cause several health troubles. It is necessary to take into account that some steroids are aromatizable. It means that they may convert into estrogen, enhancing levels of this hormone. As a result, male users of such steroids may suffer from gynecomastia, fat accumulation, fluid retention, etc. Undoubtedly, gynecomastia is very unpleasant effect for men. Sometimes it can’t be treated with medicines. Thus, it may require a surgery.
Some steroids are dangerous for females. They may lead to masculinizing effects in them. So, certain females that administer androgenic steroids have deep voice, hirsutism, male-pattern baldness, menstrual irregularities, infertility, etc.
Many steroids may influence on liver negatively. They may cause liver disorders. If anyone has had liver troubles before intake of steroids, these preparations may lead to severer complications.
Nonetheless, nobody can doubt about positive effects that can be gotten owing to application of steroids. These products induce developing new muscle tissues. They also enhance existing muscles. Furthermore, these medicines help to gain strength. Certain steroids promote fat burning, making muscle harder.
Although possible positive effects of steroids are amazing, it is necessary to consider possible adverse effects. It is stated that steroids may lead to depression and uncontrolled aggressiveness. Thus, several users of these medications commit various crimes. While several consumers may commit suicides, others violate, murder other individuals.
Steroids may lead also to other adverse effects that are not noted in the article. People should be aware of what they use. Those that distribute these preparations illegally should be punished appropriately.

Steroids are dangerous for teens

Adolescents’ addiction to anabolic steroids becomes a significant problem today. Why do teens take these medications? They do it in order to enhance their muscles, reduce fat deposits and add definition to muscles. They want to be more attractive. Actually, adolescents use these medicines because they desire to look like models, sports figures and heroes. Since teens want to be celebrated so, as well-known sportspersons are, they try to improve their physique and performance with anabolic steroids.
But teenagers don’t take into account several important factors in this situation. Firstly, professional athletes and bodybuilders ask doctors for recommendations. Thus, doctors indicate how they should take steroids. That’s why usage of anabolic steroids by celebrated sportspeople is relatively safe. When it comes to teens, they don’t know what they administer; they don’t know how steroids should be used. Secondly, the process of development is not over in teens. That’s why steroids may be dangerous for them. Anabolic steroids may destruct functions of reproductive, cardiovascular and other systems in adolescents.
Unluckily, a lot of adolescents apply anabolic steroids. Certain surveys of the Michigan University show that the number of steroid users in high schools continues to grow.
Furthermore, it is not a problem to purchase these preparations. High schools students obtain steroids without essential efforts.
As a result, some adolescents become addicted to steroids. While several teens try to cease administering these medications, they can’t do it. In fact, it is quite difficult to get rid of this addiction. Addicted steroid users can’t stop using these preparations without help of high-qualified specialists. They must stay in special centers of rehabilitation where well-trained experts help them to get rid of the addiction.
It is necessary to educate adolescents about dangers linked with anabolic steroids. Teens must know not only about benefits of these products. They should be taught also about negative effects of these medicines. If schoolchildren and high school students are not educated about dark sides of steroids, they will take these products. Ultimately, their systems will be destructed. If the society doesn’t care about adolescents, they will experience many health problems.
