jose-Nobody "invented" steroids. Steroids are substances manufactured in laboratories from altered hormones and nucleic acids which occur naturally in everybody's body.

Body-builders and power weightlifters have been using them since at least the 1970s. I believe they started hitting baseball in the mid to late 1980s.

jose-Is Jose Canseco correct in stating that more than 90% of baseball players (pitchers included) used steroids at one point in their lives and more than 50% uses it regularly?

jose-i like steroids because it can put me in shape and i have alot of muscles such as upper and lower body is in shape so is my agility, thoughness, and stanima. using steroids in sportsis better because i can be the best i can because i will be in so much shape everyone would want me on their team.

to tell you the truth every year people die from using steroids. steroids dont make you kill yourself it just have very bad side-effects. if you do steroids you would be healthy as a horse but eventually get sick or die!!! as you get older you would have back problems and maybe even heart problems from steroids.

some people say steroids is stupid and there's no piont of using it. what the point of using it if you can work out like 2 times a day for like 2 hours. well if you take steroids you will have too workout onced a day for like an hour. plus if you take steroids you will get bigger than you would if you workout without steroids. to me steroids is like taking a vitamen a day but you take twice a month or once a month. this debate is not encouraging you to use it it is just to tell about this great product. if you want more information type in google steroids or type it in ask.com or dictinary.com,

jose- i dont want to use it because i want to stay healthy. steroids is like drugs i.e weed or crack. i.e means example for those who dont know. steroids has been known to kill many people a year.

1,084,000 Americans, or 0.5 percent people use steroids two years and every year 400 people die from using steroids. now if you dont care about your life gone head and use it but look at how many people die. you can be one of them 400 people

with steroids you have more energy and you look like the incredible Hulk. but thats not why i think we should use them. we use them for energy,strenght ,edurance, and more possible things to help us to be athletic. people want to be healthy and muscle. they want to be in shape. if you want more information go to this web-site: library.thinkquest.org
