Weakness of arguments against steroids


It is known that anabolic steroids are frequently blamed. If an athlete or a bodybuilder uses steroids and/or other doping products, he/she is named a cheater. Sportswriters report about such individuals as about those who have spoiled their reputation. Anti-doping officers put incredible efforts and spend money in other to determine whether certain athletes have doped. Even the government spends taxpayers’ funds and time in order to prove that several athletes have applied steroids and/or doping products. It is confirmed that those that dope take unfair advantages in sports.
Many articles describe the fight against steroids. But let think whether arguments against application of steroids are strong enough to prove that it is disgraceful to use them.
It is confirmed that steroid-using athletes serve as a bad example for kids and young persons. It is known that youth sees numerous sports stars that take steroids and other related drugs. As a result, young people desire to look and be as strong, as these prominent sports figures.  Moreover, it is widely disputed about health risks related to steroids. But if you are attentive, you can understand that these arguments are weak because they are full of hypocrisy.
Let examine the most spread arguments against usage of anabolic steroids and/or other related medicines.
According to the first argument, application of steroids is closely associated with certain probable health risks. Many articles warn about shrunken testicles and enlarged heart which may occur on account of steroid use. However it may be true, let analyze our life. We consume unhealthy food, although we know that it destroys our health. Some persons take antidepressants that are also very unsafe. We do also other unhealthy things.
According to another argument against steroids, steroid-using sportspersons have unfair advantages in competitions. They win because they enhance performance with these medicines. Let see what happens in other fields, for example, in the world of entertainment.  A lot of actors and actresses improve their appearances and performances in order to play several roles in movies. They also take unfair advantages over others with the help of several surgeries and other things. But they are not suspended from the world of entertainment.
While it is claimed that steroid-using athletes send bad messages to young people that want to look like them and follow their examples, no one notes about the bad example of actors and actresses. Young girls also desire to look like those they see in magazines.
While feds pursue athletes who take steroids, they have nothing to do with actors and actresses that act the same way.
It is clear that arguments against usage of steroids are quite weak. They manifest hypocrisy that reigns in our fake world.
