Anabolic steroids come with serious physical side effects as well.
Men may develop:
Prominent breasts Baldness Shrunken testicles Infertility Impotence
Women may develop:
A deeper voice An enlarged clitoris Increased body hair Baldness Infrequent or absent periods
Both men and women might experience:
Severe acne Increased risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture Liver abnormalities and tumors Increased low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) Decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol) High blood pressure (hypertension) Heart and circulatory problems Prostate gland enlargement Aggressive behaviors, rage or violence Psychiatric disorders, such as depression Drug dependence Infections or diseases such as HIV or hepatitis if you're injecting the drugs Inhibited growth and development, and risk of future health problems in teenagers
What this means is that if doping becomes legal then if you are a responsible parent, you should absolutely forbid your children from participating in sports even at school level did you copy and paste this list from the internet?  i see the use of the word may, what if i told you most if not all of these sides can be checked?

@Kizee
I said in my post above that I got the info on side effects from the Mayo clinic website. If you are not familiar with Mayo clinic, it is one of the best hospitals and research institutes on the planet.
The part in blue is common sense. A few years back I watched a documentary featuring a high school baseball player who committed suicide. He took steroids often. A side effect of this particular steroid was depression and suicidal thoughts. One day his parent went to his room and found him dead from suicide. His parents were on TV crying saying they wish they paid closer attention.
And you are dead wrong. Side effects cannot always be checked because most often, doctors do not even know the exact side effect of a new steroid until it occurs.
I posted the example of the Algeria coach who gave his players PEDs. Do you think this coach knew the players would have handicapped children?

suicidal teens appear everywhere from those taking drugs, to those not taking drugs but pressured by society to perform at a particular level. if you only quote extremes from one side the you blur the other side. lakini my take, if the ped's are not deemed illegal by the justice system wacha watu wajibambe

Thats like saying crime exists everywhere so the police should not fight crime in Kenya. Better yet why do Kenyans complain about corruption and impunity? Don't corrupt politicians exist in all countries. According to Nakujua's logic, we should do nothing about it. Secondly, many PEDs are illegal. And even for those that are not illegal, their use without prescription or for illicit use is illegal. See the pharmacy and poisons act And your argument about "watu wajibambe" is rather illogical. Knowing all the bad side effects of PEDs, what kind of society would allow its youth to indulge? This is like saying, though we know overspeeding can kill, let young drivers go out and have fun driving their cars at 140 km/h in dense neighbourhoods. Nakujua says let the youth wajibambe even if they kill themselves or worse yet kill others.

You have to understand that not all ped's are illegal - your penchant (hapo google amesaidia) for extremes is evident police, crime, corruption, the poisons act, over-speeding, dense neighborhoods, killing ?

As I have said many times, drug use is not the problem. Drug abuse is the problem. Some PEDs have legitimate medical uses but they need to be prescribed, supervised and in some cases administered only by Doctors. Without medical supervision, PEDs are bad. And what Rita Jeptoo did amounts to drug abuse. In most countries including Kenya, use of controlled substances without medical supervision is illegal. Are you just ignorant about the effects of drug abuse or reckless? Aside from that, whether something is illegal or not is hardly the important issue. The real issue is what effects the drug abuse will have on the youth. I have already shown you examples of how PED abuse causes problems. If PED use is allowed, some coaches will force players to use them even at school level. Go back and read the story about how Algeria players ended up with mentally handicapped children. Then come back and tell us whether you still think drug abuse should be allowed.
