I was offered a presciption for steroids in 1952. I went to the library and found out what they were and I told my doctor no.
I knew all kinds of athletes who took them I don't think any one really benefitted from their use.

We need to nip it in the bud.
Steroids are the tip of a very large iceberg. In the future genetic modification will alter the human structure, parents will decide eye color, brain capacity, and muscle size. We should never get there. Where I'd agree that having a genetically healthy child (or adult, when modifications can happen on them) is important, we are, and have been messing with the future evolution of human kind.
Already modern medicine, though good in many aspects has caused many problems in the world. Overpopulation and starvation in countries because we feel the need to vaccinate everyone, viruses that are resilient to vaccines. It goes on and on.
Steroids are not that bad in the scheme of todays problems, but it's a road we don't want to go down. We need humans to be frail so that nature can solve the problems over time. We think we're so very smart, but we have no idea of the impact these things will have on us as a species in the future... and for what benefit, sport?
