Steroids in baseball...many have done it, many have thought about doing it.
Anabolic steroids are a synthetic version of the male hormone testosterone. In it's normal state, testosterone boosts muscle growth. But when it is supplemented with steroids, you have an increase of muscle mass and enhanced endurance.
It is used by athletes to try to have that extra edge over the competition.
Steroids provide a quick explosion of muscle mass and endurance, but long term provide an explosion of decreased mental and physical health.
Steroid use in baseball is illegal...and is against the Major League Baseball's rules.
Yet athletes today still resort to steroid use, for the quick gain of fame. It is believed that steroid use in baseball will lead you down the path of fame and fortune!!!...not the right attitude if you ask me!
Some people believe that using steroids in baseball will lead to increased hitting and running performance...due to the increase in strength and endurance that steroids provide.
