  5. Methods Of Administration Some people who abuse steroids pop pills. Others use hypodermic needles to inject steroids directly into muscles. When people take drugs without regard for their legality or their adverse health effects, they are abusing steroids. People who abuse steroids have been known to take doses 10 to 100 times higher than the amount prescribed by a doctor for medical reasons.
  6. Short term effects There are no short term effects !!!!
  7. Long term effects For guys—shrinking of the testicles, reduced sperm count, infertility, baldness, development of breasts, and increased risk for prostate cancer For girls—growth of facial hair, male-pattern baldness, changes in or cessation of the menstrual cycle, enlargement of the clitoris, and a permanently deepened voice
  8. Is it addictive ?? It is possible that some people who abuse steroids may become addicted to the drugs, as evidenced by their continued use in spite of physical problems and negative effects on social relationships. Also, they spend large amounts of time and money obtaining the drugs and, when they stop using them, they experience withdrawal symptoms such as depression, mood swings, fatigue, restlessness, loss of appetite, insomnia, reduced sex drive, and the desire to take more steroids. The most dangerous of the withdrawal symptoms is depression, because it sometimes leads to suicide attempts
  9. Rehab Issues Its difficult because once you try it your body changes and if you stop it the muscles will stop growing as well. Eddie Guerrero was a famous wrestler that used to fight for the WWE he was found dead in his hotel room they think that it may have been because of steroid use.

The law was the legislative response to the anti-supplement tactics of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which provoked a groundswell of public criticism and consumer outrage.
