  12. Anabolic Steroids • Synthetic testosterone (“male hormone”) • Testosterone is found in all people, but in larger amounts in males

  13. Testosterone Facts • At puberty, the pituitary gland signals the production and release of testosterone. • Testosterone causes • Deepening voice • Development of facial, underarm & pubic hair • Broadening shoulders • Enlargement of external sex organs • Testes to begin producing sperm • Increased muscular development

  14. Anabolic Steroids • Used to treat • Blood disorders • Breast cancer • Osteoporosis • Increase muscle size, strength & speed • When prescribed for these purposes, anabolic steroids are LEGAL!

  15. Anabolic / Androgenic Steroids • Anabolic – enhances tissue development • Androgenic – produce masculine characteristics

  16. Anabolic / Androgenic Steroids • Because the body senses the higher levels of testosterone in the body, it stops producing the natural testosterone. • This causes feminine characteristics to become apparent in men • Breast development • Testicular atrophy (shrinking)

  19. Roids Rage? You be the judge… • Pulled off teammate’s helmet and punched him in the left eye, ending his career. • Busting Kerry Collins’ jaw in two places, knocking Collins out for the season and earning “Romo” a $20,000 fine--a hit Romo now says “was one that you dream about.” • Spitting in the face of teammate J.J. Stokes and calling him a n*****. (allegedly). • While at the bottom of a pile fishing for a loose ball, deliberately snapping the finger of Giants running back Dave Meggett.
