How can anabolic steroids be both
helpful and harmful?

Anabolic steroids are synthetic, or human-made, variations of the male sex hormone testosterone. Its giving you an "unnatural" edge. An athlete that takes steroids will develop more muscle mass than the athlete that doesn't. Also steroids increase aggression which could definitely edge out the "clean" athlete. It's also really unhealthy and can lead to a shorter life. A true athlete will work for their strength and be the natural human they are rather that an "enhanced" animal. However steroids can greatly increase your abilities and cut the amount of effort needed in half to become "fit". I cant see many good things though. This is just my opinion

Hope this helps!
