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.

This is a swimming site. Most of the ideas expressed about third world health are very wrong. The spread of HIV and AIDS into Africa has very little to do with anything other than the destruction of traditional social structure by imprerialist governments and western corporations that forced males out of their traditional life-style and into factory towns where prostitutes and drugs were made easily available. Also, if mothers believe tht their children are very likely to survive, they will have fewer. If your child is likely to die, you are more likley to have more children. Oddly, there are some studied that suggest vacination rates do not clearly ensure that children in third world countries will reach adulthood. Also, when you look at HIV/AIDS rates in many countries (like South Korea which has a large Baptist and Mehtodist population) where birth controll is very expensive and illegal to some unmarried people, the infection rate is much higher tham in simular countries that have sex education and readily available birth controll. Here in the US, HIV/AIDS is still very much an illness of gay white men. It must be stressed that this situation is only true in industrial countries. A true oddity.
Overall, when E. E. Evands pritchard was correct, and we have made every mistake he advised us not to make.
Steroids have entered into many high schools. We can't assume that they haven't enterred swimming. There is not enough money to test effectively and everyone knows tht. For that reason, steroids have had an effect on many young atheletes.
