Steroid Abuse in Men and Women

Posted by Lori Henry Jul 19, 2007

I didn’t realize how many men and women were using anabolic steroids. In recent studies, it was found that the number of lay people using was rising dramatically, while the use in elite athletes was diminishing.

It seems that young professionals and teenagers are the largest group of users for reasons of losing weight and toning up. While most do go to a gym to workout, some don’t even do that, instead just taking the drugs and hoping to shed the pounds.

It’s also not only men who are using anabolic steroids to buff up. Hundreds of thousands of women are also using them to lose weight and tone their bodies.

I have written two articles on this drug abuse and hope you’ll read and comment on them. The one for men can be found here, as well as the accompanying blog, and the one for women can be found here.
