However there isn’t just long term problems there is immediate problems like acne, weight gain, hair loss, and strain on the heart. Also Steroids can be taken by a needle and if you share needles you can get infected or get blood poisoning.

With a valid prescription, it is perfectly legal to possess and use these drugs. Many athletes have used steroids because of its ability to rapidly increase the body's capacity for muscle development, and the competitive advantage this gives them. However, steroids can be very dangerous to those not under the constant supervision of a doctor who actually need an increase in testosterone to treat some medical condition.
Everybody knows the official reason why steroids are banned from sports: they’re dangerous and endorse unfair competition among athletes. Those who are caught using are labeled as cheaters and suffer severe consequences. Many sports careers have ended because of using them. The truth, however, is that steroids never left sports, despite being “banned”. They remain in the sports world. To prevent this, the league should do more drug tests in order to catch these cheaters. People who use steroids are cheaters and will never be seen as a good player no matter how good they are.

To conclude, Steroids should remain illegal and in order to keep them banned there should be drug tests more often. In order to keep this drug out of the league more precautions should be taken because these drugs are ruining the league.
