Why do athletes take steroids? Almost all steroid users are taking steroids because they believe it is the only way to develop muscle and strength. Further more, almost all bodybuilders are taken steroids because they want to get as much strength and size as they possibly can. Steroid is a drug, and like other drugs, people take them to escape reality, and they enjoy what the drug does for them. Steroid users like what the drug has done for their size and strength, and it has taken them away from their original, smaller body. Anyone caught using steroids, the public sees these people as cheaters and are people who have the lack of doing something "the hard way." Steroid users work hard, they work extremely hard, even as much as any regular athlete that trains.

In today's world, people enjoy entertainment and people want to win. Athletes are willing to do whatever it takes to win. Steroids have taken sports to new levels. Face it, there are several players in the National Football League that got to the NFL using steroids. Teenagers are using steroids more than ever today, and this is becoming a big problem.
