Athletes are randomly checked for steroids. A positive test can throw years of career preparation down the drain with the option for forgiveness and another chance, unlikely. Any athlete who takes the steroid gamble must not fully get that it is hard work and discipline that brings the long term success. Any temporary "winning edge" that steroids may seem to give is not long-term. In fact, long term steroid use can damage the body so bad that participation in the desired sport may be impossible. Steroids are artificial hormones that can help build up muscle. Steroids can make a person almost unnaturally stronger and bigger, while making them an emotional wreck. Some people have gotten violent with an unnatural balance of hormones. Mother Nature does not like to be fooled and fooling with the body's hormonal system can also result in acne, breasts (for men) and bald. Steroids can stunt one's growth long term. Steroids use and addiction can fall beneath the radar screen. If you know someone who is using steroids, chances are they need help. Call Narconon 877-413-3073 for more information.
