The History of Anabolic Steroids

In the 1930's the germans discovered a drug which they were not very interested in. about two decades later the germans came to see that it was a physical and mental enhancer. the germans tested the steroids on dogs and then on their nazi soldiers so they could smarter, stronger, and faster. steroid use was prohibited in the 1970's. the reason why steroids were prohibited was because there were emense cases of deaths due to anabolic steroids between athletes and american soldiers. i honestly think steroids should only be used if youre required to use it like for example a child with a sickness or even an adult.

Roids and government

In 2004 the house reform government comittee had gotten involved with the prohabition of anabolic steroids.in 2005 there was a hearing which involed famous baseball players, sammy sosa, mark mcgwire, and jose cenceco, and also mlb comissioner bud selig due to the use of anabolic steroids which were illigal in the major leagues. this hearing went on for several months because the government was concerned of americas favorite game apparent failure to regulate the the use of performance enhancing drugs which are steroids. even the president of the united states George w. bush had to be involved. Since the congress leaders did not feel that baseball players and executives could not be trusted in order to solve that issue on their own, they demanded stricter testing policies and punnishments to be active immediately.

How has steroids affected youth ballplayers?

Well there has been many cases of youth players using steroids, many of which we do know of and many of which we dont know of. i honestly think that mlb players have alot to do with the blame of why the youth uses steroids such as pony league players, high school players and, many college players. the reason i think the younger baseball generation uses steroids is because they think they have alot to prove to the major league scouts which expect them to be able to play at the major league level, and to compete against those players who are secretly on steroids. I personally think that steroid use is getting worst by the years because the competition in baseball is now getting harder, due to the use of steroids although there are many players who do not believe in steroids and are aginst it because it takes opportunies away from others. I honestly think that the youth ballplayers should also be tested for steroid use.
