What will be an ideal response?
Anabolic-androgenic steroid use comes at a high price. It has been associated with many damaging changes in the physiological characteristics of organs and body systems. The best documented effects are to the liver, serum lipids, and the reproductive system, including shrinkage of the testicles (Sato et al., 2008). In younger athletes, steroids can cause early fusion of the bone-growth plates, resulting in permanently shortened stature. AAS users have also been found to be more at risk for illicit drug use, particularly opioid use (Kanayama et al., 2010).
