Quote, paraphrase, and citation #1

Anabolic steroids are synthetic hormones that promote the retention of protein and the growth of tissue, and their use  -  or abuse  -  can help an athlete build bigger muscles far faster than with workouts alone. The benefits? Both strength and stamina, and the fame and riches enhanced performance can bring. The risks? For athletes, they range from infertility to psychological changes to cancer; for the sports they participate in, the risks include a loss of confidence in the fairness that is the basis of all successful competitive sports.

A lot of people are now starting to take anabolic steroids. Anabolic steroids will help an athelete build muscles faster and improve their game.
