I hope I can shed some light on just what steroids really do and what good things and bad things come along with the use of them.It is thought that about 100 years ago at least one scientist discovered that testosterone is the cause of masculine features in males, but back then no one could prove it. In the 1930s researchers tested anabolic steroids on dogs and discovered that it increased muscle size. In the 1940s anabolic steroids were given to POWs that were suffering from malnutrition in order to help rebuild their muscles. Now starts the era that athletes really started using steroids, the 1950s. It was during the 1950s that athletes in Europe and Russia started using steroids in order to build muscle size and strength. The rest of the world really didnt notice the use until Russians and Europeans started shattering weight lifting records (The Steroid Facts).Dr. Ziegler was the first researcher to officially prove that if a person was given increased...
