But if there is an element of real concern, not only for its adverse employment but by the contradiction of the sports concept is the use of hormones and steroids. Better known as steroids.
In numerous studies as the one conducted in 1996 by a team of researchers from Yale University, led by Dr. Barbara Ehrlich concluded that the harmful effects of continued use of these substances can bring in irreparable damages ranging from purely psychological as paranoia, sleep disturbance, anxiety, hallucinations, pathological or even the viral, ie, infection or disease transmission.
Among the most common are TB-Cuban doctor, Pedro Pablo Pino Alfonso, published in 1998 an interesting study on the effect of steroids on humans and their viral trigger in tuberculosis-myocardial infarction, and even AIDS alopecia (in the latter with a higher predisposition whether the taking is based on the jab and not the intake of capsules).
Steroids are themselves a synthetic version of testosterone, ie the male sex hormone. They were developed as such back in 1960 by Dr. John B. Ziegler, who, managed to produce substances that the human body itself creates.
Physical disorders, psychological or diseases. But there is still much, much more. For example, the proliferation of external bodies as may be called gynecomastia-liked by the mammary-glándluas or increased aggression.
Do not forget that steroids produce, especially in its early stages, euphoria and wellbeing, which in many cases the violence unleashed in interpretation.
Abstinence is also a problem. Like other drugs, steroids are starting to consider a hard substance absence once the human body assimilates, mainly welfare Confused serotonin produced by those who create these substances.
Some consumers which you will find at one stage they were left, turn to the administration of human coriogonadotrofinas (hCG), which aims to improve the endogenous production of testosterone. Not yet shown whether it is a palliative called ‘monkey’.
In short, can be considered the practice of sport activities rather than improving the physical and psychological make it worse?. Absolutely not. Beauty is not synonymous with muscle or another. What should not be synonymous with health is the consumption of drugs. And steroids are.
Another aspect is the pathological component of the disorder, those who suffer from conduct disorder. Maybe the help of his circle of trust is the best therapy to convince concerned that, like many other disorders, the specialist help is needed. What happens is that the obsession is often born of taking these substances. The athlete does not need substances to feel strong and healthy.
