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.

I'm not mean. I'm not relieved of anything. I'm expressing the can of worms you get when messing with nature without evaluating the consequences.
It's a historical pet peeve of mine, but many years ago missionaries really screwed that place up. Now millions of people are paying the price for the missionaries good intentions. A bad situation is now a catastrophe. We can't go back in time, nor would it be any better if we could. That's my point: We have to evaluate the consequences before we humans apply medicine to a population blindly. There is no undoing our mistakes.
We don't know the impact of steroids (or most modern medicine) on our civilization over time. Steroids, in itself, is insignificant. But, where it's going is as dangerous as being the first to practice medicine in a village with high infant mortality rates and low food supplies.
