Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS), primarily referred to as anabolic steroids, are synthetic variants of the male sex hormone testosterone that are either taken orally or injected into the muscles, or applied to the skin as a cream or gel. Anabolic steroids induce the protein synthesis in cellular tissues.

Many people that are involved in bodybuilding, professional sports, and olympic athletics take these steroids to develop massive muscle growth in order to excel in their given sport. Today, it is estimated that one to three million people has abused anabolic steroids in the United States, which is higher than it has ever been (Zomorodian, K., et al.).…

In today’s world, humanity is constantly pushing their boundaries. It is in our blood to push our bodies to the limit. In some cases competition and human development has caused debates about ethical, moral, and religious views.

J Savulescu, B Foddy, and M Clayton, all professors in the field of sports medicine, argue in their article “Why we should allow performance enhancing drugs in sport” that the use of performance enhancing drugs is becoming more effective despite the health risks present in these drugs, stating “… despite the health risks, and despite the regulating bodies attempts to eliminate drugs from sport, the use of illegal substances is widely known to be rife” (Savulescu et al. 3). Scholarly professors and sports fan alike tend to be biased when the phrase “performance enhancing drugs” is thrown around and fail to fully analyze the issue. The truth of the matter is that the use of such drugs will harm the athlete, but with certain restrictions these drugs can be safe.

Rather than testing for drugs, medical professionals and sports analyst should look more into the issue of health and fitness, putting the strength of individuals to the test, as this is what sports portray.…
