Steroids. Building a better you?

B Berlin.   

Abstract

The use of anabolic steroids was first reported in the 1950s among weight lifters seeking to gain an edge in strength and muscle size. Since then, anabolic steroids have been used to augment strength and appearance. Today, steroids reach far beyond the world of professional athletes to high school locker rooms, neighborhood gyms, and suburban fitness centers. An estimated one million Americans use anabolic steroids for nonmedical purposes, supporting an illicit $400 million market.
