WHAT IS IT?
Steroids are used to improve performance in sports, increase muscle size and reduce body fat.
Use is high among competitive body builders and athletes known as anabolic steroids, which just means that they build muscles.
Steroids are a group of drugs that are similar to a male hormone called testosterone. Some are taken orally, but most are injected intramuscularly.
Another type of steroids are androgenic steroids and these make people more masculine.
