The Expanding Connection Between Steroids and Sports
Summary
The use of performance-enhancing drugs in competitive sports is as old as the drive to win at any cost. The link between steroids and sports began to solidify in the 1960s and 70s.
The Rise of Steroids in Sports
The connection between steroids and sports started gaining prominence during the 1960s and 70s. By the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics, about a dozen athletes were caught using anabolic steroids, predominantly in weightlifting.
During the 1980s and 90s, steroids became more entrenched in sports. In the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics, substances like Nandrolone, Methenolone, and Testosterone were commonly used, particularly in weightlifting and athletics.
The 1988 Seoul Olympics brought the issue into the spotlight, with Stanozolol widely used. The infamous case of Canadian athlete Ben Johnson highlighted this trend, as he tested positive for the steroid. Stanozolol continued to appear in later events, including the 1996, 2000, and 2004 Olympics.
A Widespread Issue
Today, the use of steroids extends from grassroots levels to professional arenas. Teen athletes, both male and female, are increasingly turning to steroids, often referred to as roids, juice, gym candy, or pumpers. These substances are not only used for performance enhancement but also for aesthetic purposes.
Many athletes, including bodybuilders, wrestlers, weightlifters, and boxers, use high doses of steroids to increase muscle mass, strength, and stamina.
Combating the Epidemic
To tackle this pervasive issue, several international sports organizations have banned steroid use. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Sports Medicine strongly oppose the growing link between steroids and sports. These organizations advocate for educating young athletes about the negative effects and serious consequences of using steroids in hopes of breaking this connection.
