Do you think steroid use is immoral in professional sports? why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes, for one good reason. It is dangerous. It can make you very ill, especially if you are NOT a professional athlete, and has many long term side-effects, including acne, water retention, gynecomastia, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. This is especially true in young people, which is the problem. You let athletes do it, and that sends the signal to young people that it is ok. Trouble is that the odds of a steroid killing you goes up dramatically for people who are not physically prepared for it. Factor in the fairness of the game and the fact that sports is supposed to be about the strength of men, not the strength of drugs, and it just doesn't make sense to use steroids. Whether or not that makes it "immoral" is a matter of opinion, but I don't think whether or not it is "stupid" can be debated. It clearly is.

Answer 2

MR Taco, they are just as dangerous like alcohol, cigarettes, painkillers and anti-conception pills. In other words, use the right amount and NOTHING will happen.

I challange you to give me some scientifical evidence to back up you're claims. I have been using them for years, never had any problems because i use them smart.

If steroids would be harmfull all top athletes nowadays will be dead in a few years. Ofcourse this is not the case.
