Steroids should not be allowed in sports for the reasons of health risks and bad influence.Have you ever thought about what steroids can do to you? There are many health defects that come along with this type of drug. A steroid is a drug that you can take to increase the strength of muscles.In Karen Kwan's eyes this is causing people to go" ...bad and be more aggressive than they usually are."(Kwan, 2014) When abusing it you could experience or contract high blood pressure, tendinitis, and liver tumors. High blood pressure can cause you to have a stroke, or even make your blood clot which could possibly lead to death. Nobody should experience this, or even take the drug in general.
Another reason why steroids should not be in sports is because the people who use them are usually role models to kids. If Russel Wilson used steroids, it would influence other people that look up to him to use the drug. They assume that if it is fine when he uses it, than it is fine for them to use it. According to Greg Schwab “Young athletes often believe that steroid use by their role model gives them permission to use it”. (Greg Schwab, 2002). The people who are taking this drug, then go into taking this drug blindly not knowing the side effects.
As you can see, people should not use steroids at all. There are too many health side effects that are damaging to the human body. Health defects and influence are the main reasons why people of any age should not take steroids. Risks from taking the drug range from tendinitis to even death by some of the effects like blood clots.
