Anyone knows that anabolic steroids are frequently demonized. If a sportsperson or a bodybuilder takes steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs, he/she is named a cheater. Journalists report about such athletes as about those who have destroyed their reputation. Anti-doping agencies put great efforts and spend money in other to define whether certain athletes have doped. Even the government spends taxpayers’ funds and time in order to prove that certain sportspersons have taken steroids and/or doping products. It is confirmed that those that dope take unfair advantages during competitions.
Many pieces of news describe the fight against steroids. But let see whether arguments against application of steroids are strong enough to prove that it is disgraceful to apply them.
It is claimed that steroid-using athletes serve as a bad example for children and young persons. It is known that youth sees a lot of sports stars that apply steroids and other related medicines. As a result, young persons want to look and be as strong, as these prominent sports figures. Furthermore, it is widely disputed about health risks connected with steroids. But if you are attentive, you can comprehend that these arguments are weak because hypocrisy reigns here.
Let examine the most frequently used arguments against administration of anabolic steroids and/or other related medications.
According to the first argument, administration of steroids is closely associated with certain probable health dangers. Numerous articles warn about testicular atrophy and enlargement of heart which may occur on account of steroid use. However it may be true, let analyze our life. We eat unhealthy food, however we know that it destroys our health. Some persons apply antidepressants which are also quite unsafe. We are also involved in other unhealthy activities.
According to another argument against steroids, steroid-using athletes take unfair advantages in competitions. They win because they increase performance with these drugs. Let pay attention what happens in other fields, for example, in the world of entertainment. Many actors and actresses improve their appearances and performances in order to play some roles in movies. They also have unfair advantages over others with the help of certain surgeries and other things. But they are not sentenced to bans.
While it is stated that steroid-using sportspersons send bad messages to young individuals who desire to look like them and follow their examples, no one mentions about the bad example of actors and actresses. Young girls also want to look like those they see in magazines.
While feds pursue athletes who use steroids, they have nothing to do with actors and actresses who act the same way.
It is clear that arguments against usage of steroids are quite weak. They show hypocrisy that reigns in our fake world.
