Well while you said that they make you "crazy" i think that my point is still clear that if you take them on a regular basis you will be ok. Ok ill explain it, if a person is taking steroids every week they will be ok. But, if in between this they stop taking it for a week after taking for 8 weeks they will lose all the muscle and strength they gained and it may damage them. Side: For
Actually steroids have never been known to kill anyone only damage them internaly and sometimes externaly on their skin. But, if people don't abuse them they wont be so bad, so like i said, im not saying go out and use them but im just saying its not bad as long as you dont abuse them or stop using them on a weekly basis if you already were.

I think steroids aren't really that bad if you dont abuse them. Im not saying that you should use neccesarily use them but im just saying it's not all that bad. People abuse them and thats why they get damaged, but if you only take them on a regular basis and not often you'll be ok. But, if you take them once a week and your ok, as soon as you stop taking them you just might lose all your gained strength and muscle mass and other things might not be normal but if you keep on taking them on that same basis you will be ok.

steroids should not be used in sports. they are an disadvantage against the apponent. using steroids are illegal anyway. so why should you use them.? steroids have no meaning in dosing it in your body, its just like a drug that makes you crazy. and also the reason for not using them is that too much overdose in steroids could make you have a heart attack from too much blood pumping at from heavy pressure in your body could cause this deadly situation Side: Against

Steroid use in sports is unfair and actually clouds the true definition of sport. Which is to compete with one another based on one's own natural ability. Not only will steroid usage and abuse harm oneself irreparably but it then blurs the line between the maximum that humans can push themselves and what they achieve through drug abuse. Leaving drugs aside, Olympic athletes cannot even consume excessive caffeine before a race. Steroid use in sports should thus be banned because it's not a true representative of what we are able and actually could achieve. It is unrepresentative of what we can actually do. Side: Against

In my opinion, the issue of cheating isn't the important one even though it seems to be what people in this debate are focused on. Many people are in favour of simply allowing steroid use in a given sport (if everybody's using it, there's no advantage and it's no longer cheating). The problem with that scenario, is that it forces athletes who would not have used into doing so to remain competitive. They'll be forced to decide between risking their health, or walking away. Another problem, as dangerous as steroid use already is, imagine what would happen if all athletes in a given sport were allowed to use. You'd then have individuals looking for a new advantage (I've got to use even more than the next guy now that everybody's using them). Side: Against
