  • Title: Anabolic steroids in athletics.
    Author: Holden SC, Calvo RD, Sterling JC.
    Journal: Tex Med; 1990 Mar; 86(3):32-6. PubMed ID: 2333633.
    Abstract:
    Steroid abuse in athletics is one of the most pressing health problems in sports today. Many athletes believe that they must take steroids in order to compete, even though scientists are divided on the question of whether steroids increase strength. This paper reviews the history of anabolic drug use in sports, the types of steroids and amounts used, their intended effects, and the possible side effects.
