It was originally created for patients who were in desperate need of muscle mass, since the steroid is a medication that enhances and builds tissue.  The steroid was then misused as it began to be converted into a daily medication for athletes, therefore inventing doping. The creation of the anabolic steroid led way to other PED’s and many more medications that enhance and construct muscle mass. In accordance with its creation soon to follow were many anti drug laws in competitive sports and even organizations such as WADA and USADA. Today the problem of doping in sports has become bigger than it ever has, looking back at many athletes who have been suspected or proven guilty of using PED’s such as Barry Bond, Derek Jeter, and Lance Armstrong. Towards the end of his life in 1983, Dr. Zieglar wished that he had never created the drug, since it led to so much controversy and had the potential to ruin professional sports. Today the steroids do serve a medical purpose but are still used illegally in many sports. There are also modified versions of these steroids that are harder to detect in drug tests.]]> 2017-03-21 18:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tomazic_simon77/9gej7h079fj9/wish/161611485 tomazic_simon77 https://padlet.com/tomazic_simon77/9gej7h079fj9/wish/161613000 2017-03-21 18:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tomazic_simon77/9gej7h079fj9/wish/161613000 Anabolic Steroid tomazic_simon77 https://padlet.com/tomazic_simon77/9gej7h079fj9/wish/161618341 (arnolds, gym candy, pumpers, roids, stackers, weight trainers, and juice)

They use the drugs to develop their bodies with a chemical instead of exercising.  For this reason, athletes see an incentive for taking this certain type of drug.]]> 2017-03-23 17:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tomazic_simon77/9gej7h079fj9/wish/162216644 Medical Purpose for Anabolic Steroids tomazic_simon77 https://padlet.com/tomazic_simon77/9gej7h079fj9/wish/162219666 Although anabolic steroids might have a dark side to them, they also serve a positive and legal purpose in our society. As stated on the far left side in the "History of Anabolic Steroids", they were first created to increase the muscle mass of patients and underdeveloped people. Today when patients are severely underweight or have almost no muscle mass and are in desperate need of it. This most commonly occurs when a patient is recovering from a disease or severe illness. Anabolic Steroids have also been proven to be useful in treating certain types of breast cancer in women.

Most teenagers are affected by anabolic steroids through sports. When they are frustrated many of them see drugs as an opportunity to become better at that sport. This results in the use of steroids. Otherwise there are no reasons for teenagers to take anabolic steroids.]]> 2017-03-23 18:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tomazic_simon77/9gej7h079fj9/wish/162228884 Works Cited tomazic_simon77 https://padlet.com/tomazic_simon77/9gej7h079fj9/wish/162234083 "Anabolic Steroid (Oral Route, Parenteral Route)."
