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. George Park

    The negative effects of steroids are only well documented through studies that use large doses. We are only looking at small doses now with in the last few years. Most studies done for the past 15- 20 years have been about detecting steroids not their effect. Right now there are two studies looking at low dosage for HIV/AID and wasting. I looked almost night, I couldn't find anything on low-dosage studies and atheltic abilities. This is how most high schoolers take steroids. We must know what is done when some one takes a relatively low dose so that we can know what we are talking about. Whenever I've mentioned steroids to teens (Adam & his friends) they say that it is okay because their friends take low doses. Adam has told me guys who take steroids. He has pointed them out at the gym. Adam is 6ft 5in &245 poiunds. He sees no reason to take them. Many other teens do. Also, very low dosage comsumption of some steroids are either very easily masked or aren't detected, it seems in my opinion. I see many of the common side-effects and no one says a thing. Skin strecthing, peck pulls & ruptures, groin ruptures (not groin pulls), and calf & arch collapses. These rarely happen to peole not taking steroids.
