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.

The term steroid refers to those hormones derived from cholesterol or 7-dehydrocholesterol. The banned steroid hormones are androgens like androstenedione or testosterone. Mineralocorticoids like aldosterone and glucocorticoids like prednisone are also steroid hormones and are used commonly in medicine.
