Steroids in Baseball – The Side Effects
Every now and then we hear about a steroid controversy in a sport. Similarly, baseball is also surrounded by steroids controversy. Most of have heard of using steroids in baseball or any other sport but most of us don’t know what a steroid is or what are its effects.
What are steroids? Steroids are a male, synthetic version of hormone testosterone. Testosterone is known to enhance the development of muscles and its growth. When testosterone is supplemented with the steroids, one can achieve a lot such as body fat reduction, increase in the muscle mass and improvement in ability of endurance.
There are many reasons as to why baseball athletes use steroids. Athletes believe that by intake of steroids, players have an edge over the game and can be the shining star of the night. Using steroids they are able to hit harder and as further as possible.
There are a number of side effects of steroids. From psychologically point of view, a baseball athlete mood ranges from well-being mood to depression. The mood can change quickly from one to another. An athlete can have a violent and aggressive mood as well due to the side effects of steroids. The physical effect of steroids include increase in endurance, muscle mass but it can also have worst side effects such as damaged liver, cancer, acne problem, testicular atrophy, excessive hair loss and growth and many more.
In addition to muscle mass increase, reduction in body fat, ability to endure, athletes believe that it is the path leading to fame. Little do the athletes acknowledge steroid’s side effects? It can lead to permanent disability so many questions whether steroids should be used or not considering their risks and rewards.
There have been many controversies surrounding famous baseball players for using steroids in baseball but there is no proof whatsoever that these famous legendary players have used steroids in baseball. For example, Mark Mcwire, Gary Sheffield, Barry Bonds and many others have been accused of using steroids in baseball. Barry Bonds was accused of using steroids, supplied to him by his friend Greg Anderson, to set an amazing record. Barry Bonds set the record of hitting home runs in a single season. Could it that he was on steroids or was it that he had a magical season?
Until there is no proof one cannot say whether an athlete has used steroids or not. Whether using or not, an athlete still has to face the ball and hit it to get runs.
Although steroids in baseball gives you instant strength and might lead to fame but in the long run, no matter what, it can lead to many risks to athletes health and provide damage physically. Baseball athletes should not use it as it is not worth it. Play the game with honor and fun without harming one’s health.
