I don't think that steroids should be allowed at all. They are really bad and are terrible in the long run for you.
I believe steroids should be permenantly banned from everyone sport because they do more bad then good to a person's body.

The blog was very info about steroids. I do think that steroids are not a good idea. It would feel like cheeting in a sport.
I don't think that steroids should be allowed in sports. There are too many side effects, they're addictive, and I just don't think it's worth it.
I think it's really sad that people feel the need to use a drug to make themselves better. And i think it is even worse that girls are starting to use steroids at such a young age. I also think it is good that Soviets got caught otherwise people may not know as much about steroids.
I think steroids should not be allowed. Sports is suppose to be all natural and all about fun and a little competition. However, so many professional players do, so if one gets in trouble all should. Also if you don't cheat you don't try hard enough. :)
I think steroids should like be banned everywhere. They destroy athletes, they can really mess people up.
i think steroids are super bad.

I think steroids are horrible. Not only are they bad for a person's body and mental health, but they also are an unfair advantage in sports. In my opinion, steroids are really dumb.

in the end they hurt you more than help you or make you a better athlete.

steroids shouldn't be used in the first place because its cheating
ithink your blogg was well written on steroids and the effect they have towards others.
i also agree.I do not think that enhancing drugs such as steroids should be used in physical activities.
If steroids are banned for pro games, why should it be for high schoolers? the majority of its effects are neagative, and the muscle building factor has ugly sideeffects...

Using steroids is a really bad idea. It does a lot of damage to your body over time and if you get caught using them while you are doing sports you get banned from that sport and other ones too.

Steroids shouldn't be allowed and should be banned. If you want to get strong then just do it in a normal, and healthy way.
i dont think kids should take steriods because it is kinda scary when they go on a rampage and it can hurt others badly like heck so dont take them at all. (x_x)
It's bad when adults start using steriods but when kids start using them its just wrong.
